Free Agent Crystal Ball

With all the talk of the big free agents moving teams I thought be fun to see who can correctly guess where the top free agents will land with all the rumours flying around.

Taking out those who have already committed (Lowry, Nowitski, Gortat, etc), let's see who can correctly guess the top 10.

Here are my picks:
(1) LeBron James - Cleveland
(2) Carmelo Anthony - L.A. Lakers
(3) Dwayne Wade - Miami
(4) Chris Bosh - Houston
(5) Lance Stephenson - Chicago
(6) Greg Monroe - Miami
(7) Chandler Parsons - Houston
(8) Luol Deng - Miami
(9) Pau Gasol - L.A Lakers
(10) Gordon Hayward - Utah

I have no idea, but ill have a go.

Here are my picks:
(1) LeBron James - Heat
(2) Carmelo Anthony - Knicks
(3) Dwayne Wade - Miami
(4) Chris Bosh - Houston
(5) Lance Stephenson - ??? Pacers, please not the bulls
(6) Greg Monroe - Miami
(7) Chandler Parsons - Houston
(8) Luol Deng - Miami
(9) Pau Gasol - Knicks
(10) Gordon Hayward - Utah,

I think Deng,Hayward and Parsons will get stacks of offers from teams like the Bulls,Lakers, Suns, even Hornets when/if they miss out on Melo and LeBron.

Could the Heat use Bosh's salary + the cap space to swap Bosh for Deng + Monroe, i wouldnt mind seeing that if they could, i am a Bosh fan, but those 2 could be better, also i can sort of see Bosh taking his $$$ and heading home to Texas and wouldnt blame him for it either.

Wade to Miami by default - not sure any other team would want him in his current state.

Parsons to Dallas - Parsons signed something like a 4 year $3.6m deal back when he was drafted. He is worth considerably more than that and I don't think Houston will be able to match an qualifying offer for him (especially if they bring in Bosh).

Monroe to Indiana - Pacers will offload Hibbert (hopefully for a PG - someone like OJ Mayo perhaps)

Anthony to the Lakers

Gasol to the Lakers

Stephenson to Brooklyn in a sign and trade with Williams - BKN will be giving up their PG, but this makes sense financially for a team who lost $180m last season.

Hayward to Boston for Green.

In regards to Parsons, I think he has gotten a few good offers already but is waiting for the Rockets to sign a big name player and then he will sign one of the deals and the Rockets will match it. If he signs one before a deal with a big name player it will give them less money to spend as they can sign him after and go over the cap but can't do it the other way around. I hope this makes sense.

Where the heck is this Monroe to MIA talk coming from? I can't see Riley going for that. I think it's more likely Bosh leaves and Melo comes to MIA, than Monroe.

I think one of Parsons or Hayward will end up in Dallas.

Hayward is a restricted free agent and I reckon Utah will match any offer they receive as Utah find it hard to get any star players to sign with them.

I think the only way Hayward gets out of Utah is to play 1 more year there and become an unrestricted free agent and then he will bolt to Boston to play for Brad Stevens.

If he wants maximum money though he will sign somewhere this off season (Boston, Dallas or Cleveland) and have Utah match the money.

Whoops

Monroe - Pistons
Deng - Heat. No Mavs. No heat

Deng definitely is the hardest one to gauge.
