Top 10 takeaways from Day 1 of NBA Free Agency

10) The T-Wolves signed Darko Milicic for 4 years and $20 million as part of their ongoing effort to trigger Armageddon

9) Boston got Doc Rivers for another year of coaching, just because when the chips are down, Rivers really hates the idea of spending time with his family

8) Rudy Gay signed a five-year deal with the Grizzlies, which means he might be around longer than the franchise

7) The Bucks signed Drew Gooden to a 5-year, $32 million deal, which just goes to show that guys who have been with six (!) organizations in the last three years are worth real coin

6) Cleveland announced that Byron Scott has accepted the head coaching job, and that Scott had changed his children's names from Thomas, LonDen and DaRon to James, BronLe and DaBron

5) Richard Jefferson surprisingly opted out of the $15 million last year of contract with the Spurs, because he's convinced that he can make similar money without having to work past early April

4) The Hawks locked up guard Joe Johnson to a maximum 6-year contract, because you need to commit yourself to a wing player that "led" his team to a complete playoff collapse, alienated the fan base and will be 34 when this deal is done

3) Rumors persisted that James would name his new team on July 4, just to give everyone a reason to take the day off and celebrate

2) Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Carlos Boozer and twenty other guys tried to convince themselves that being FAs at the same time as James was a good move

1) James held Cleveland, New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles and Bristol hostage
