NBA Free Agency Rumors: Rockets Focused on Carmelo After Losing Luc Mbah A Moute to Clippers

The Friday noon start time has passed, and here's all the latest news on free agency as players can officially sign contracts.

Entering the second week of free agency, most of the big names are off the board, including LeBron James agreeing to a four-year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Chris Paul, Paul George and DeMarcus Cousins have also agreed to sign deals, but one superstar's status heading into the summer is still unresolved.

The San Antonio star reportedly wants out, leaving his next destination the biggest remaining question of the free agency period. Meanwhile, the Spurs will have a new look with Tony Parker agreeing to terms with the Hornets and Kyle Anderson heading to Memphis.
