Who Did What On June 30th

Lots tends to happen on June 30th. It's a big day. Personally, I had a bath, quite a nice pork chop for dinner, and traced the weird smell in this room down to an old packet of sandwiches that wasn't in the bin but just behind it. And here is what some NBA teams did.

(NB: Many of these decisions were made before June 30th. But ignore that for now.)
