May 7, 201016 yr A look ahead at what's in store for the super free agent class of 2010.... Some of the bigger names that are going to be available (or at least could be): Joe Johnson LeBron James Dirk Nowitzki Yao Ming Dwayne Wade Michael Redd Ray Allen Paul Pierce David Lee Amare Stoudemire Chris Bosh Carlos Boozer That's quite an elite group of talent. Where does everyone think some of these guys will end up? The one I'm going to call is DWade to Chicago.
May 7, 201016 yr Dirk will be back with the Mavs. I think Wade sticks with the Heat. Lebron sticks with Cleveland. Joe Johnson to Chicago.
May 7, 201016 yr Author Dirk will be back with the Mavs. I think Wade sticks with the Heat. Lebron sticks with Cleveland. Joe Johnson to Chicago. Dwade is from Chicago isn't he? Rose and him in the backcourt would almost instantly make them a legit contender in the East. I thought I read somewhere that Chicago could afford two max guys...Wade and Bosh to team with Noah, Rose, and Deng??...They'd win it all. I agree that Dirk and LeBron stay put. I see Johnson going to whomever offers him the most money. New York is my guess.
May 7, 201016 yr Author I also see the Thunder making a run at either Boozer, Lee, or Stoudemire (although he may be too pricey).
May 7, 201016 yr I'll say Joe Johnson and Amare to the Knicks. Bosh in a sign and trade to either Houston or OKC. Wade to the Bulls, especially with the crap Riley is trying to pull. James stays in Cleveland, Dirk Stays in Dallas.
May 7, 201016 yr It's going to be interesting to see how it plays out. I wonder who the first one is going to be that signs. I'm sure Lebron will try to be the last one.

I see Johnson going to whomever offers him the most money. New York is my guess. I think the Bulls would have to do a sign and trade to get two max players. But I do think it's possible that they could do a Deng for Bosh, though I'd imagine other teams would have better offers to Toronto.
May 7, 201016 yr I'm not sure who can get 2 max guys, I would have to look into some more and honestly I don't feel like it. :lol:

James stays in Cleveland, Dirk Stays in Dallas. I would love for the Thunder to get Bosh, as long as they didn't have to give up their current core. Would they be willing to give the Raptors the 21st & 26th pick for him? I would if I were them.
May 7, 201016 yr These are guys that can opt out. Yao Ming (owed 17.7 million in 10/11) Amare Stoudamire (owed 17.7 million in 10/11) LeBron James (owed 17.2 million in 10/11) Dwayne Wade (owed 17.0 million in 10/11) Chris Bosh (owed 17.1 million in 10/11) Dirk Nowitzki (owed $21.5 million in 10/11) Josh Howard (owed $11.8 million in 10/11) Mike Redd (owed $18.3 million in 10/11) Tyson Chandler (owed $12.8 million in 10/11)

I would if I were them. I think I would get David Lee that is a little cheaper and could provide about the same for them. They don't need someone that is the caliber of Bosh.
May 7, 201016 yr Author I think I would get David Lee that is a little cheaper and could provide about the same for them. They don't need someone that is the caliber of Bosh. The only way I'd take Lee over Bosh is if they'd be able to keep both picks and still sign Lee. They're in the unique position of being very close to contending, and being extremely young, so their draft picks, while nice, aren't a necessity like some teams.
May 7, 201016 yr Lee 2009-10 Statistics PPG 20.2 RPG 11.7 APG 3.6 SPG 1.0 BPG 0.5 FG% 0.545 FT% 0.812 3P% 0.000 MPG 37.3 Bosh 2009-10 Statistics PPG 24.0 RPG 10.8 APG 2.4 SPG 0.6 BPG 1.0 FG% 0.518 FT% 0.797 3P% 0.364 MPG 36.1 Add in how much less it would take to get Lee, I saw you go for him and try to upgrade somewhere else like getting a 3 point shooter.
