Roy can you or Wdleehi repost the parts of the Press conference we're supposed to cover?

And are other GMs encouraged/allowewd to pose follow-up questions to that days' division's GMs?

I just posted a new thread, with some of the tips, plus my writeup (which is a bit over the top, but I was bored, and have been working on it on and off for a week.)

LOL Jesus Roy...I read the writeup. You REALLY were bored.

The Las Vegas Lakers sign Alexey Shved, who will play at CSKA Moscow for the upcoming season.

Am I correct in assuming that we can't trade any more players?

FA signings - Anté Tomic, Artem Zabelin, Jeff McInnis, Alexey Shved.

Now that the press conferences have started, I think rosters are locked.  I don't think we can sign any free agents.  Not that Alexey Shved is going to put you over the top...

Ahh, so that signing doesn't count?

You probably want to get clarification from the Commish, but I think that's the case.

The rosters are frozen (unless you haven't trimmed it down to 15 yet) until after all the press conferences are finished.

The Atlanta Hawks have rounded out their coaching staff with today's hiring of Terry Porter as assistant coach. Terms were not disclosed, per team policy.

"Throughout his years as a player and as a coach, Terry's consistently demonstrated an aptitude for defensive basketball," said Hawks head coach Nate McMillan. "I feel blessed to have two great assistants in Flip and Terry, both of whom have had significant head coaching experience in the league. They are going to make my job a heck of a lot easier."

The Hawks also announced today that Iranian center Hamed Ehadadi has been cleared to play in the NBA, and is expected to join the team this coming year. However, the Hawks current roster now stands at 16 players, meaning some roster activity (either a trade or the release of a player) will have to take place in the coming week when the moratorium on player movement has been lifted.
