Where will the 2010 FA's end up?

Test of Wills · Post #1 » by **Test of Wills** » Wed Jul 16, 2008 4:27 am

I think it is way too early but there is still some speculation from different people that a player like Lebron James will go to Brooklyn to his best friend Jay-Z to bring that franchise up again. Or someone like Dwayne Wade who some posters say will either go to his hometown Chicago to play with Derrick Rose or even New York the mecca. Overall that is all just talk. Where do you guys see the 2010 FA's ending up? And by this I mean the superstars and allstars like LBJ,Wade,Bosh,McGrady,Bryant,Pierce and Joe Johnson. You don't have to predict where all of them go just the ones that you want...

I see:
Lebron staying in Cleveland
Wade going to the Knicks
Bosh going to Dallas
Amare going to Toronto

well first of all we need a list of teams with cap space in 2010.
I can name three: Nets, Clippers and Wolves.

Umm the Kings? With KT/SAR/Miller all gone and off our cap in 2010, we will have some serious cap space...

Amare wont go to Tor.

Big time American free agents dont want to go to Canada.

Now if the Jazz win the lottery in 2010 via NY's 1st round pick they would be in a pretty good position to either trade the number 1-3 pick for one of the MANY studs in the FA market or they could just draft the top prospect. Andrei Kirilenko comes off the books in 2010 so the Jazz should have some cap space to work with too. IMO if Andrei is still with the Jazz, he should take a pay cut to stay in SLC.

Either way it looks like it will be an interesting summer two years from now.

JO expires that off season, that's 22 million off the books. Hopefully we resign Bosh and grab someone else too.

It's too hard to predict since there are about 20 teams with a lot of cap space in 2010.

LeBron James to Cleveland
Dwyane Wade to Miami
Chris Bosh to Toronto.

Orlando... they will all end up in Orlando. Then Bosh and Amare will for the legs, Wade and Howard will form the arms, and Lebron will form the head of the super basketball phenom known as BallerTron

Every team has a plan for 2010, but it is doubtful the big names change zipcodes.

Money talks, not a location. Plus, if someone can bring Amare somewhere, its Bryan Colangelo. I'm not saying its going to happen, far from it, but you can't write anything off.

I really hope this happens, this is actually the most likely result. It would shut up a lot of writers and members of the media.

You might want to check your info... AK contract last til 2011 at a nice 17 million dollar price tag and you still need to keep Boozer who has a player option in 2010 that he will surely opt out.

Right now there is too many variables for anyone to make an educated guess on where players would go.

Wade to the Knicks
LeBron to the Nets

well cleveland has about 5 million (gibsons newly signed contract) currently on the books for 2010...so right now, we have about 55 million in cap space

Bosh to Memphis. Makes Memphis a legit contender.

Post #18 » by **GameTime_3** » Wed Jul 16, 2008 7:56 pm

Amare,Wade to Miami
Bron to NJ
Joe Johnson to Hawks
Bosh to Knicks

Miami is about 30 million dollars under that cap for 2010.

The only one I see jumping ship is LeBron, ONLY if one of the New York teams has cap space and a nice competitive core. Maybe Amare if they are unable to tool appropriately when Nash is declining.

The Cavs have a boatload of cap space so I'm going to say the Cavs keep LeBron and sign Wade/Bosh
