A restricted FA means the team that the player is on can match any offer other teams give him, and if they match the offer the player has no choice but to stay on the team. I can't remember all but: Morris Peterson Etan Thomas Rasual Butler up to mid-level Jamal Crawford Reggie Evans same as Butler?? Stromile Swift Marcus Fizer I think Kenyon Martin some others.........
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting KS1:</div><div class="quote_post">That sucks. I thought Tyson Chandler was on it?</div> He should be, unless he was already signed to an extension.

Richardson, Keyon Dooling, Josh Moore, Bobby Simmons LAL: none Phoenix: none Portland: D. Miles, Desmond Ferguson Sacramento: D. Songaila Seattle: Leon Smith, Richie Frahm All the names on the list are accurate as far as I know...may have missed some of the team options though. Also, in some cases the team cannot match an offer. For example if Phoenix offers Memo a huge contract, Detroit cannot match if it put them over the cap because Memo has only played with them for 2 years and Detroit does not own his Bird Rights.
Those guys are all restricted or those are all the free agents? I don't think Richie Frahm and Lonny Baxter are restricted FA's, neither Bobby Simmons, Matt Barnes, and a few others.
There are three main areas were RFA's generally come from each year: 1. Second round picks from two years before (2002). 2. First rounders from three years ago who haven't had their team options picked up (I don't think there is anyone significant from 2001 whose team hasn't picked up their option). 3. First rounders from four years ago (2000) who had their team options picked up last year but haven't been signed to an extension. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting og15:</div><div class="quote_post">Those guys are all restricted or those are all the free agents?

There's a bazillion places to get a good list. Both on the internet and off. I hate computers, so I generally prefer off, but basic contract information is hardly a secret. Just ask around and shoot out a few emails or phone calls and you can almost always find what you're looking for.
