Free agents[edit]

The official list[1] is out. Looks like most of them are missing here. Anyone got the time to fix this? G. Timothy Walton (talk) 01:07, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. --TheImaCow (talk) 16:36, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

to Pifas225 (talk) 16:38, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed yesterday. The 2024 pick was originally CHA, not NOP. The NBA press release writers need to be shown the dictionary definition of via. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 00:16, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mistakes[edit]

1. November 23 Ed Davis trade to New york.Two future second round picks going to New York not Utha. 2. November 24 4 team trade. It's OKC not Detroit. 3. November 22 2021 POR protected first-round pick protections 2021 first round draft pick from Portland Portland's 1st round pick to Houston protected for selections 1-14 in 2021, 1-14 in 2022, 1-14 in 2023, 1-14 in 2024, 1-14 in 2025, 1-14 in 2026 and 1-14 in 2027; if Portland has not conveyed a 1st round pick to Houston by 2027, then Houston will instead receive Portland's 2027 2nd round pick [Houston-Portland, 11/22/2020]

Complete recheck of the section being done today. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 21:02, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Free agent Dwight Howard signing date needs to be changed to 11/22 from 11/21 because free agents officially were able to sign only from 11/22 and not 11/21. Pifas225 (talk) 18:10, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cited article states November 21. There's an exception that allows early re-signing of a team's free agents; I made the same mistake last year. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 02:11, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Someone added Aaron Brooks, two-way liaison officer ...as two-way player in free agency two-way...please delete him...this is embarrassing... Pifas225 (talk) 19:58, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Please try to write a little more clearly. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 00:14, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove Breein Tyree from free agent list as this is exhibit 10 (training camp deal). Pifas225 (talk) 10:25, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cited article states only that he has been signed by the team. Exhibit 10 players still count as part of the team until they're waived, as do training-camp deals. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 15:35, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As above. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 15:37, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Colour coding free agents.[edit]

I don't know whose idea it was to add the two extra background indicators but the list will end up looking like the coat of arms of a snake if this continues. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 17:06, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:NUMBERSIGN[edit]

Apparently using the # sign is against the Wikipedia Manual of Style.

I think an exception could be justified, given the ungainliness of constructions like "(2008 No. 44)" or "Houston will receive the pick if it's No. 15-30, in 2024 (No. 13-30), in 2025 (No. 11-30), or 2026 (No. 9-30);"

I'd like some other opinions before deciding whether to ignore MOS:NUMBERSIGN and change things back. G. Timothy Walton (talk) 04:06, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
