A few final moves occured before opening day as a few teams looked to improve their rosters.
New Orleans Hornets signed Gilbert Arenas to 1 year deal worth $5.76 million.
Andrei Kirilinko returned from Russia and signed with the Jazz to a 1 year deal worth about $2million.
The Washington Wizards lacking a veteran backup point guard behind John Wall, signed Eddie House off of waivers after he was released by the Miami Heat to a 1 year deal. The Wizards hope he can facilitate the offense when Wall is not on the floor and spread the floor with his long range ability. Other than House, the Wizards kept their roster mainly in tact with the addition of Roger Mason Jr & Ronnie Turiaf in the offseason, and Jan Vesely and Chris Singleton through the draft.
Their opening night depth chart is as follows:
