With all the overpaying right now i'm curious what some of you think the top Free Agents will earn in Free Agency next year.

I'm just listing the better guys(with my next post i will list them so you don't have to scroll down forever to reply) who will be Free Agents next year and want to see what you guys think each player is worth in your eyes and what he most likely will earn.

PG's:
Dragic
Rondo
Jackson
Lin

Wings:
Ellis
Afflalo
Matthews
Leonard
Gay
Harris
Eric Gordon(if he opts out)
Jimmy Butler

Bigs:
Aldridge
Monroe
Gasol
Brook Lopez (if he opts out)
Al Jefferson
Millsap
Amir Johnson
Asik
Kanter
DeAndre Jordan
Hibbert
Thaddeus Young (if he opts out)

Lakers lineup next year

PG: Rondo/Lin
SG: Kobe/Butler
SF: Leonard or Afflalo/Swaggy P
PF: Jordan Hill/Randle
C: DeAndre Jordan or Hibbert/Ed Davis

Salaries? Don't ya worry 'bout it. Mitch go 'em.

Look at all those bigs....

This is what the Suns have been waiting for...




Although Len has been looking good these few games....

On a side note I predict a lock out in our future.

Seems like every player is getting the max these days.

Owners only have one option in these talks.... Sign the guy for max....or let him walk and your team sucks.

I bet Owners will seek more leverage over players.

Yes, but how much can the Suns spend next summer?

They'll be at roughly 59m with Dragic's 16.5 to 17.5m per yet to be added on July 1. (10 million more than he's making now)

If the cap goes up to say? 72 million. Yes, the Suns could add a 12 million dollar (big man) contract before signing Dragic to his big payday.

For Dragic to stay on and a big man signing, Sarver will have to be cool with a (roughly again) 82-84 million dollar payroll for '15-'16

just sayin'

I bet rudy gay gets a nice contract this summer. He balling out right now!

Think someone will offer Jimmy Butler the MAX and Chicago won't match right now he is their best player.
Chicago is a big market team but act like OKC & Memphis.

Jimmy Butler is getting paid!!

You forgot our #1 draft pick.

Even before this season began, looking at the sort of contracts being donated to young wing players, I felt Jimmy Butler was worth the max, as well. However, I thought Chicago could've locked him up for a bit lower than the max-- Y'know, before he started putting up numbers this season. That boy Jimmy gon' get paid. . .

Ellis has a player option, let's see what he does. Tyson Chandler also comes off the books.

Dragic won't extend if he'll continue to be withouth the ball in his hands... He is not a SG and is the best point on the team, the way he had to play so far is ridiculous. Signing Zoran to appease him won't be enough.

Yup. The Bulls screwed up here. According to reports, Jimmy would have taken $50 million over four years. Next summer, he'll get offered $15 million annually for sure. Chicago only have themselves and their "hometown discount" idea to blame for this.

Oh ****. I guess that makes Jordan/Hibbers useless. Since we're going with Jahlil Okafor.

PG: Rondo/Lin/Clarkson
SG: Kobe/Butler
