NOTE: Review taken as of a certain moment in time (31st October
2008), detailing the roster changes between then and the last day of
the team's previous season. Anything that happened after that isn't
listed......because then it's no longer in the offseason, and thus not
a part of any self-respecting offseason review. If a player was on a
roster for a short period of time during the offseason but didn't make
the opening day roster - like, say, Jason
Williams with the Clippers,
or multiple dozen training camp players - they aren't listed.
