Hmm, is that all? No more drama than that?It is an uncommon twist to have the bulk of NBA free agency over with before the Las Vegas Summer League even has a chance to tip off, especially for a summer in which the likes of LeBron James, Paul George, Chris Paul and Kevin Durant are all free agents.MORE: Thats the situation we have this time around, however. This is especially surprising for James, who has been known to overtake entire summers with his free-agency whims. But instead of a TV show or a cover-story magazine e say, James simply put his decision to leave Cleveland for the Lakers in a pre s release and sent out a ma s email, much the same way teams announce theyre bringing up a player from the G-League.If you were looking to Cavs owner Dan Gilbert for NFL Dallas Cowboys Jersey some drama in response to James departure, you were gravely disappointed. Gilbert ditched the vitriol and the Comic Sans font this time, and delivered a gracious thank you and fare-thee-well to James.And it was all done by the end of July 1. No dragging this one out.All of this is to say thatits already time for winners and losers... NBA free agency winnersThe chalk:The Warriors signed All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins, coming off an Achilles tendon injury and looking to revamp his free-agent value before hitting the market again next summer. Other than that, the chief benefit to the defending champs three-peat hopes came from the failure to do anything significant by their top rivals. Houston, in Ezekiel Elliott T Shirts fact, lost Trevor Ariza, throwing the Rockets depth further into question and making Golden States path through the West all the easier.The Celtics, too, thrived by not doing much outside of signing free-agent guard Brad Wanamaker, and you should feel no shame in needing to Google "Brad Wanamaker"before being able to speak about him intelligently. Boston saw James leave the conference, saw Philadelphia mi s on the hoped-for, big-time free agent (though the team did well to improve its wing depth)and watched Toronto do nothing of significance.Golden State and Boston entered the summer the prohibitive favorites to reach the Finals, and will come out of free agency in the same position.Sam Presti:There is much to be determined in Oklahoma City, including whether there is wisdom in pairing Paul George with Ru sell Westbrook at all the team produced only 48 wins last season, after all, and was eliminated by Utah in the first round of the playoffs. The wisdom of an astronomical luxury tax bill ($150 million) for such a middling club is open to question, too.But a year together should make the Thunder better this time around, and the simple fact is that we all knew Presti was gambling when he traded for George last year. He won that gamble, and he deserves credit for it.Magic Johnson:Well, he wont have to resign. Johnson staked his brief career as a Dallas Cowboys Golf Sporting Goods team executive on his ability to change the Lakers moribund recent free-agent luck, and said hed quit if he couldnt do so in the next two years. He delivered by pulling in the biggest fish of all, LeBron James, and by doing so without needing to restructure the roster to James liking.LAhas ama sed a flotilla of weird and talented players on one-year deals, keeping the Lakers in the mix for other top free-agents going forward.TRADE RUMORS: The trade market:Money was tight in the NBA, and the drama of free agency has fallen off pretty quickly relative to most years. But dont think we wont have anything to talk about in the coming weeks.Now, the trade market will heat up, and there will be top-tier players certainly popping up(Kawhi Leonard, Kemba Walker, Dennis Schroeder, Ha san Whiteside) and some intriguing optionsonly maybe showing up (the Gasol brothers, Kevin Love, Damian Lillard/CJMcCollum, Tobias Harris). But expect there to be plenty of busine s discu sed.Pacers:Indiana was the No. 5 seed in the East least year, with 48 wins, and took Cleveland to seven games in the first round same as Boston, and three more than the Raptors. They havent made headline-grabbing signings, but they addre sed weakne ses by signing shooter Doug McDermott and wing Tyreke Evans, plus adding point-guard depth with Aaron Holiday in the draft.They did all this while maintaining flexibility in the short and long terms, making for a nice Pacers summer so far.Dirk Nowitzki:We could be bracing for the final season of Dirk Nowitzki, NBA star. He will be back in Dallas next year, and credit to the Mavericks for seeing to it that he wont exit the league the way Kobe Bryant did, with a miserable, 17-win group of misfits. The Mavs are lined up for a playoff push.Dallas buried the hatchet with big man DeAndre Jordan and signed him in free agency. The Mavs did so without completely fudging their cap space for years to come, as Jordan agreed to a one-year deal. Dallas, with a promising backcourt of Dennis Smith Jr. and Luka Doncic, could have a nearly blank slate for its salary structure next season should Harrison Barnes opt out, allowing the team to entirely revamp its roster around the young guys once Nowitzki leaves (a suming he hangs it up next summer, which is not definite) CeeDee Lamb Jersey . NBA free agency losersAdam Silver:This is not what Silver had in mind when he was deputy commi sioner helping David Stern institute a much heftier luxury tax and a system that was intended to promote parity. Instead, the league got another season of expected Warriors dominance, and its biggest star bolting the Lake Erie shore for the Lakers.The math of the collective bargaining agreement says that small markets should be able to compete in the NBA. But outside factors quirks in the salary cap rules, plus plain old human decision-making, like Cousins choosing Golden State, James choosing LA, Leonard choosing to force a Spurs exit keep torpedoing the leagues parity paradigm.Anthony Davis:He went into free agency with Rajon Rondo and DeMarcus Cousins as teammates, and came out with Elfrid Payton and Julius Randle. Not all is lost, but the team did not add the depth it thought it was adding with the two new guys. Instead, Payton and Randle could well be the starters next season, with Rondo joining the Lakers and Cousins in Golden State.The Pels made such tremendous progre s last year, earning a playoff spot with 48 wins (even with the Achilles injury to Cousins) and disposing of the Trail Blazers in a first-round sweep. Now, New Orleans will have to sweat out making the Dallas Cowboys Pet Gear playoffs at all again next year, and that wont register well with Davis, who, remember, is a free agent in 2020.Rockets: This was not a deep bunch to begin with. Now, with Trevor Ariza off to Phoenix (of all places), Houston is scraping up a pretty thin roster.In case youre wondering h
