New Zip Codes for Shaq, 'Sheed, Gordon, Artest and More...
Published July 07, 2009
Free agency opened up not that long ago and already there's been plenty of action between front offices across the league. Even before free agents were open to negotiate, there was movement as Shaquille O'Neal got a change in uniform after being moved from Phoenix to Cleveland to team up with LeBron in the hopes of title number five.
Elsewhere, Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva look to be on the move to Detroit while Rasheed Wallace appears to be headed to Boston in the hopes of a title. And we're not even close to being done - the Rockets and Lakers essentially swapped players via free agency as Trevor Ariza agreed to terms with Houston after the Lakers signed Ron Artest - which player ultimately regrets that swap?
Sure, some players such as Mike Bibby and Jason Kidd decided the grass isn't always greener and stayed home, but that didn't stop guys like Hedo Turkoglu from entertaining various offers before deciding on heading to Portland... and ultimately, Toronto.
You can track all of the movement over at NBA.com with their free agent tracker, but more importantly, you can be the first to own the jersey of your favorite player if he finds himself relocating or to get the jersey of the newest addition to your favorite team. How? It's simple.
Did you know that once a trade is official and a player's number is finalized, even if you don't see their jersey live on the site, all you have to do is head over to the custom jerseys? From there you can get any player you want custom made and shipped out within 5-7 business days. It's that easy.
And if your team has been quiet so far, that's no reason to forget about hoops - there are plenty of new items around, including the new summer collection, and there is our Fourth of July clearance event where you can save up to 60% off on select merchandise. So while some may say that not every free agent signing is a smart decision, don't worry, you won't find any thing that doesn't live up to it's billing at NBAStore.com!
