Agreed.

I don't see any of the RFA's changing teams. For the UFA's the only ones I see moving are:

Al Jefferson (probably)
Greg Monroe (maybe)
Rajon Rondo (increasingly likely)
Kosta Koufos (almost certainly)
Ed Davis (probably)
Omar Asik (maybe)
Mathews/Afflalo (Portland resigns one, probably Mathews)
DeMarre Carroll (maybe, depending on what other moves they make Atlanta might only be able to offer MLE money)

Deandre Jordan to Boston (possibly S&T)

Omer Asik and Rajon Rondo teams up with Kobe in his last year in the NBA

Dwyane Wade opts out, finally goes home and plays for the Bulls (deliver ala KG from his press con: "If Lebron and KG can come home, why can't I?")

Afflalo to the Pistons doesn't make a lot of sense. KCP is starting to come along and Meeks is there as well. He'd be an upgrade, but the three is a greater need.

not even sure if Al opt out of his current contract.

unfortunately if he does, I can see Charlotte making the best offer for him to stay.

not seeing Tobias Harris up there. He will be a RFA, and he could be changing teams too

Omer Asik and Rondo in LA would be nice - especially if we landed a guy like D'Angelo Russell in the draft.

Rondo - Russell - Kobe - Randle - Asik. Not too bad, for a rebuilding disaster of a team.

I'm hoping for Towns though and then Rondo and Danny Green in free agency, although our recent luck would result in zero picks and a max deal for Boozer.

It will be interesting to see how many players opt in any final year options they have to be part of 2016 and how many sign deals with an opt out for 2016.

I think its too early for this.

Even though I'm not a big Harris guy, he should definitely be on this list ahead of some of the guys in the 15-30 range.

I agree. I like to wait on this type of speculation until we are at least fairly deep in the playoffs.

Is Koufos really one of the top 30 FAs?

really its nearly impossible to know. Last year Jodie Meeks got a deal bigger than the MLE and Aminu signed for the minimum. Who saw that coming? Ben Gordon got over $4M. Marvin Williams got 2/$14M.

He's a really nice backup big, capable of being a stopgap starter, and he's still barely 26 years old. I imagine he finds a pretty nice contract out there.

I liked him in Denver and was sort of disappointed when they traded him.

I just didn't know if he had been playing really well this year or something.
