I didn't know Al Jefferson was a free agent. I'd love to sign him if we strike out on Whiteside.

I'm not going to do the whole list but here are a few predictions:

Hassan Whiteside - Los Angeles Lakers
Chandler Parsons - Los Angeles Lakers
Pau Gasol - New York Knicks
Joakim Noah - New York Knicks
Dwyane Wade - Miami Heat
Dwight Howard - Miami Heat
Al Horford - Dallas Mavericks
Mike Conley - Dallas Mavericks
Al Jefferson - Golden State Warriors
Harrison Barnes - Golden State Warriors
Demar DeRozan - Toronto Raptors
Kevin Durant - Oklahoma City Thunder

I think all the big names stay where they are for the most part... it's those upper mid tier not quite big named guys that'll be on the move. hopefully it'll be entertaining or at least the fans reaction should provide some fun...

Pau to the Knicks I have to think is almost a given... Durant will stay in OKC unless somebody wows him but still OKC gives him the best chance to win other than going to the Warriors

Only the big names or players that I care about:
Kevin Durant - SAS
DeMar DeRozan - TOR
Al Horford - LAL
Hassan Whiteside - POR
Kent Bazemore - LAL
Nicolas Batum - CHA
Courtney Lee - SAC
Bismack Biyombo - TOR
Harrison Barnes - GSW
Festus Ezeli - GSW
Dwight Howard - NYK
Mike Conley - MEM

I think Durant goes to the Spurs and Whiteside goes to Portland.

Kind of proud of myself got some right. Missed badly on what the Mavs would do. Best picks was from the Pelicans nailing both Moore and Hill for them. Hell even got Mozgov to the Lakers! Had Affalo to the kings but on the bonus for some reason I put him down again for bulls ill give myself a half point.

Return to Los Angeles Lakers
