    We traded Steve Francis and cuttino mobley for mcgrady.

    It was not a free agent signing at all.

    That a was a trade not a free agent signing.

    I'm going to correct every single one of you

    I saw people mentioning Drexler which was also a sign & trade.

    If this is restricted to free agent signings, then it's just a stupid question to ask.

    Then don't because there was no "free agents only" rule that needs enforcing.

    Don't be a jerk just because you made a mistake.

    I hate to say it but Scottie Quitten was bigger... he was riding on the MJ Bulls legacy... hopefully THIS move has a better result...lol

    I am assuming he meant free agent signings but if he is including trades then I think it's Moses hands down and not really close second.

    What mistake? Nothing about the question asked in the title suggests free agent signings only, nor is anything mentioned about it on the first page. It's absurd to expect people to assume specifics that aren't mentioned.

    Not trying to be a jerk. Just don't see the need for the contract police to quell any non-free-agent signing talk.

    Clyde was only there for the 95 championship if I remember correctly.

    I think the fact that we might have just shut the door on Kobe Bryant's career and thus sent the Lakers into the cellar, as well as quite possibly setting in motion our path to a championship, it just might be.

    What part of "signing" is hard to understand?

    If we didn't sign the guy, then he isn't part of the discussion.

    If he was traded here, that means we didn't sign him.

    Not that hard to understand.

    Exactly...he was a bigger signing than Clemens, even if Clemens helped us to our only world series.

    Also I think people need to look up the difference in a free agent signing and trade...
