We're into Day 3 of NBA free agency, and many of the major dominoes have fallen around the league. Paul George is going to join the 76ers. Klay Thompson's Warriors tenure has officially ended as he heads to the Mavericks. Isaiah Hartenstein is leaving the Knicks for the Thunder. James Harden remains a Clipper, while Chris Paul will be a Spur. Less than 48 hours after free agency began in earnest, only two of the top 14 players on the board have not yet agreed to deals.

Those two players would be LeBron James and DeMar DeRozan. James is widely expected to return to the Lakers, who just drafted his son Bronny with the 55th overall pick in last week's draft. It was rumored that James might take a discount if it helped the Lakers land other players in free agency or trades. That has yet to happen, and Thompson, who was considered a Lakers target, ultimately landed with a Western Conference rival. DeRozan is expected to leave the Bulls after three seasons in Chicago, so perhaps he will join LeBron in L.A.

As we wait for some of the finishing touches on NBA free agency, here's a look at the notable moves to date:
