FINAL FA PREDICTION

[Kanyewest]

You know what's funny? Considering Age, potential salary, potential to actually move to another team, and position etc., I'd only rank the following players above Shaun Livingston:

Lebron
Bosh
Gay
Lee
Amare

Miami would be wise to get Shaun Livingston, who is the most under-the-radar FA out there.

I would put Kyle Lowry ahead of Livingston, unless some team offers him a ridiculous amount of money.

Rich Bucher on the 11 PM Sportscenter, I think, even said that the most likely scenario is all the top guys except Bosh would stay with their current teams. Wade and Johnson don't want to leave. And Amare got offered max money over 4 years by Phoenix.

Dirk is the top priority for Dallas. However after that I think they make a strong move to trade for Joe Johnson. I think Joe Johnson fits well in Dallas and Atlanta would be better off with Beaubois and Dampier or even Haywood and filler. They can move Crawford into shooting guard and have Beaubois take the 6th man role and replace Bibby. They can flip Dampier for help at SF, because I don't think Marvin Williams is the answer there. Generally it is best in the NBA to have the big star, but Joe Johnson is not very good as the big star. So it may be a case where they are better off improve at multiple positions rather than getting a big star at one.
