This year's free agency list is one of the biggest in NBA history. Some players on the block are LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Joe Johnson, Dirk Nowitzki, Carlos Boozer, and Amar'e Stoudemire. Of course everything is revolving around what LeBron is going to do. During the past couple of weeks LeBron, Wade, Bosh, and Johnson has all met together to discuss where they will be going.
LeBron said his decision will come sometimes around the week of July 5th and nothing longer (thank God). He will be talking to many teams in the next two days such as the Clippers, Bulls, Knicks, and of course the Cavaliers. I really do hope that he stays in Cleveland; everything he knows and loves technically lives in Cleveland. Also if the Cavaliers do sign Byron Scott as there head coach or any coach who was a former player, then LeBron really most likely stay since that's what he wants.
Dwyane Wade as we all know of course will stay in Miami, he's said it before and I'm confident he will. Thankfully the Heat has so much money now since we technically only have Beasley on contract right now, so they can afford another big name to play along Wade for next season. Pat Riley right now is talking to Boozer, Stoudemire, and Johnson to come down to Miami; I think he should also talk to Bosh. Bosh in Miami would be real big.
The Atlanta Hawk has offered Joe Johnson a contract that would be worth like $100 million. Most likely I see Johnson going back to Atlanta, which I don't see why. The Hawks still has Horford and Smith who killed it last season and are only getting better.
Now my issue with Stoudemire and Nowitzki is that I feel like they're doing this free agency thing just so they can get more money by the team that they're already in.
In other news, Paul Pierce has opted out of his contract because he wants a new and better contract with the Celtics. So the Celtics has to negotiate a contract with Pierce and Ray Allen who is also on the free agency list this season. Not to mention head coach Doc River most likely will be coming back for another season and miss his son play ball for his senior year. Did I mention his son his the high school basketball player in the state of Florida and his father has not seen him play not a single game.
This will be very interesting to see what happens and I pray that whatever Miami does, it does not involve losing Michael Beasley, Udonis Haslem, or Mario Chalmers in the process.
Yall know I will keep yall updated on twitter and on my blog :)
