News from August 20.

Chicago signed Kendall Gill to a 1 year, minimum contract.

Indiana re-signed Reggie Miller to a 2 year contract.

Denver signed Jon Barry to a reported 1 year, $2 million contract.

Washington signed 1st round draft pick (#10) Jarvis Hayes to a 3 year,
$5,639,760 contract with a 4th year worth $2,564,127 at the team's option.

The LA Clippers signed Quinton Ross.

Correction: Tim Duncan (SA) did indeed sign a 7 year, $122 million contract.
He was signed at 105% of his 02-03 contract, which is why the re-signing was
allowed at that price even though it exceeds the maximum amount for a 6th
year player.  [Thanks to William Kong for pointing out where the $122
million came from].
