NBA free agency is in full swing, billions of dollars have been spent, and there are still a lot of moving parts on the board. 

The biggest question was answered on Monday morning, when Kevin Durant decided to sign with the Golden State Warriors. The 2013–14 MVP had been courted by the Thunder, Spurs, Celtics and Heat in addition to the Warriors.

A leap in the salary cap has caused teams to hand out record amounts of money to players. Dwyane Wade could be leaving Miami, where Hassan Whiteside just inked a massive deal. Dwight Howard is heading home to Atlanta, and Al Horford is bound for Boston. Mike Conley, the top free-agent point guard, is back with Memphis on the most lucrative contract in league history.
