NBA Free Agency Round-Up: July 3 - Dwight Howard & Jeff Green to Wizards, OKC re-sign Raymond Felton

#5 Houston Rockets sign Michael Carter-Williams; Kevon Looney re-signs for Warriors

Michael Carter-Williams

Signing Michael Carter-Williams was probably a play by the Houston Rockets to add a wing playmaker because he obviously doesn't make up for the defence and long-range shooting that was Trevor Ariza, who signed with the Phoenix Suns a couple of days prior.

On the other hand, it was suspected that the reason the Golden State Warriors let JaVale McGee walk is that they wanted to invest in their young bigs like Damion Jones and Kevon Looney. While Jones is still under contract, Looney was a free agent but the team was quick to ensure he didn't stay on for long.
