The Celtics pathetic list of free agency signings is a testimony to development and trading of Red and to a smaller degree DA.

The Lakers list includes Shaq who is one of the greatest.

1. Shaq
2. Malone
3. Payton
4. Robert Horry
5. Harper

Who am I missing here?

What, no love for Cedric Ceballos?!  I dug deep for that one.   ;) That guy could score when he put his mind to it.
Yup

The biggest free agent signing was when the Jazz signed Gail Goodrich! From Goodrich's wiki:
Quote
His impact upon the Laker franchise extended far beyond his playing years. When he signed with the New Orleans Jazz in 1976, per league rules, the Lakers were to receive compensation for losing a veteran free agent. The Lakers and Jazz agreed to send New Orleans' highest pick from the 1979 draft to Los Angeles (along with a 1978 number one pick and an additional second round pick). When the Jazz finished the 1978-79 season with the worst record in the NBA, the Lakers were eligible for one of the top two picks of that draft. Until 1985, the two teams with the worst records flipped a coin to determine which team would receive the top pick. The Lakers won the coin flip against the Chicago Bulls, who selected David Greenwood 2nd. The Lakers selected Magic Johnson. The other top pick was used for Kenny Carr.
Talk about crazy. Do you think the Orlando Magic would like two number ones and a second as compensation for Shaq leaving?

Pau Gasol?

Let's face it, the Lakers might as well have just signed him, seeing though they got hom for nothing.
