What was the announcement?

Shams was on The Pat McAfee Show on Monday.

Shams usually updates fans on any trends in the NBA on his social media, but lately, he has reported a lot of good insight, regarding rumors, on The Pat McAfee Show.

Today, he told Pat, "There's gonna be some big deals tonight Pat."

Rumors can give us good ideas of what to expect, but once the clock hits 6:00 P.M. EST tonight, the floodgates will really open up.

Even Shams doesn't know what every player's thoughts are, since they could be meeting with teams at the last minute and making their decisions after free agency begins.

There's never been this much money available to players, so players could be signing historic deals.

Expect to see a lot of movement and some drama across the league during the next few days.
