You take for granted that first-round draft picks sign with ease with their new teams since the money has already been decided, but it's not always easy. The top player to sign so far is Cleveland center De Sagana Diop, the No. 8 pick. We're keeping track of what the newest NBA millionaires are signing for -- and those that have yet to come to terms. All monetary figures are selected by the rookie salary scale under the collective bargaining agreement, and all deals include a fourth year at the club's option.
