July 3 (Day 3) Free Agency
The biggest free agent signing in years has just occured! Yes, Kevin Durant joins the Golden State Warriors! While this is technically a July 4 signing (along with the corresponding Harrion Barnes to Dallas signing), this was a big enough transaction to be included in the July 3 update. For July 3, players on new teams include Rajon Rondo (Chicago Bulls), James Ennis (Memphis Grizzlies), Matt Barnes (Sacramento Kings), Garrett Temple (Sacramento Kings), Tyler Johnson (Brooklyn Nets), Cole Aldrich (Minnesota Timberwolves), Andrew Nicholson (Washington Wizards), Trey Burke (Washington Wizards), Kevin Durant (Golden State Warriors), Harrison Barnes (Dallas Mavericks)

#ProjectFreeAgency Notes
If you weren't able to download the July 1 update that was released the other night, there was a Follow Up Pack required for it that you're going to need to download if you haven't already. You can always check it out here. If you've already downloaded the July 1 Follow Up Pack from the previous update, you're only required to download the Appdata Files for the July 3 update.
We would like to remind everyone of the notes from the initial v4.0 update. The contracts are not updated, we are waiting for the contracts to be finalized for us to adjust to the in-game salary cap since salary caps cannot be modified in NBA 2K14. The second round NBA Draft rookies do not have guaranteed contracts in the NBA yet so we did not include them in any of the rosters yet until probably close to Opening Day for the NBA. If some signings were not added yet to the update, it most likely means that the missing signing is part of the update for the next day (in this case, July 4). The update is called July 3 update due to the fact that the third day of Free Agency in the USA was July 3. NLSC is now back up and running so the NLSC mirror now works.
