NBA Free Agent Madness

Hits free agency for the first time in his prime. Outstanding scorer who can make a contender out of most teams. His departure would devastate Oklahoma City.

Nobody can picture LeBron James leaving Cleveland again. Look for him to sign a deal with the Cavs very quickly.

Played at his usual All-Star level once again. Likely to re-sign and recruit for the Heat.

Put up nice numbers for a team that’s winning every night. His disappointing Finals performance may have hurt his stock.

Could be looking at his last big deal in the NBA. Has made clear he’s OK with being underpaid as long as he can get another shot at the title. Probably not happening in Chicago.

The lovable German will finish his career in Dallas and you know it.

Signed a one-year deal in Sacramento with hopes of reviving his NBA career. He did just that, although it didn’t translate into many wins.

Not much of a weapon offensively, but makes an impact on the defensive end with a big body and great athleticism. Somebody is going offer him crazy money.

Frustrates opponents with his physical play and does all those little things that help teams win. A fan favorite in every city he’s played.

You will love him and hate him the same game. Looks like a star sometimes, but no consistency.

Strong, smart and skilled player with questionable conditioning. Played well enough to warrant pretty fine offers.

The three-time Sixth Man of the Year is still bringing instant firepower off the bench. But how much left in the tank?

Big body, nice hook shot and capable three-point sniper. Not much of a rebounder. Back problems will scare some teams away.

Reportedly opting out of his contract. Had a decent regular season, but didn’t help the Mavericks in the playoffs.

Was playing the most efficient basketball of his career when he tore his left Achilles tendon. Has been solid if not speactacular upon his return.

Looked rejuvenated this season in San Antonio, which makes us think this might not be his final year in the NBA.

With Wesley Matthews and Nicolas Batum gone, he had to step up in Portland… and he did.

Regressed this year, which is something that can be said about a bunch of other Rocket players.

Solid big man who plays within his limits and takes high-percentage shots. May not have the appetite to stay in a rebuilding situation surrounded by young kids.

Indiana’s Lance Stephenson was not seen in Charlotte or Los Angeles. Looked much better for a depleted Memphis team late in the season.

Athletic big man with good rebounding skills and untapped potential. Pretty productive in limited playing time.

Energy player that could help a lot of teams if Boston doesn’t want him.

Has obvious talent, but doesn’t have the highest basketball IQ in basketball.

He’s very good at getting buckets. Will not help an awful lot in other areas if the shots are not falling.

Adequate post defender who will not try to do too much on the offensive end.

One of the most respected players in the NBA. Took a minimum deal in order to have a real shot at the title in San Antonio.

Ultra aggressive defender. One of the best rebounders at the small forward position. A bit of a head case.

Skilled veteran who didn’t get much burn in Boston, but finished the season on a much stronger note in Dallas.

Very good at running and jumping. Game is not as polished as you would expect at this point.

The Ty Lawson experiment didn’t work in Houston and Indiana. Career at crossroads for a player that was considered a borderline All-Star not long ago.
