Best and Worst NBA Free Agent Deals: Irving, Grant, VanVleet, Reaves

In a whirlwind free agency period, most big names have found new teams, while rumors swirl about potential trades involving Damian Lillard and James Harden. As we take stock of the massive contracts being thrown around, here are my favorite and least favorite NBA free agent deals so far. The Rockets' acquisition of Fred VanVleet is a win-win, despite the hefty price tag. Gabe Vincent's contract with the Lakers brings joy, rewarding his hard work. The Pacers secure Bruce Brown with a lucrative deal, while the Lakers strike a good bargain with Austin Reaves. The Pacers' acquisition of Obi Toppin showcases the Knicks' missed opportunity. On the other hand, Jerami Grant's return to the Blazers and Kyrie Irving's comeback to the Mavericks raise concerns due to their contracts and potential team dynamics.
