NBA free agency opens with Spurs, Rockets, Hawks, Magic and Mavs among early movers

• Spurs add Kornet to support Wembanyama

• Rockets land Finney-Smith, Capela in spree

• Magic, Hawks, Mavs make strategic signings

Victor Wembanyama has another big man to help him out in San Antonio. The Houston Rockets continued their offseason overhaul. And Orlando and Atlanta made moves with eyes on contending this coming season as the NBA's free agency period got underway Monday.

The Spurs lured center Luke Kornet away from Boston with a four-year, $41m deal, a person with knowledge of the agreement told the Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team cannot announce the deal until the league's signing moratorium for most contracts is lifted on Sunday.
