NBA Free Agency

I don't know if you know what is going on in the NBA right now, but many say this is the deepest free agency since the current salary cap started in 1984. Some of the marquee names who can switch teams and sign a new contract are: Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire, Carlos Boozer, David Lee, Dirk Nowitzki (IDK if this is spelled right), Paul Pierce, and many other key players to their current teams. This summer has the potential to completely shake up the NBA. Powerhouses can become bottom feeders and bottom feeders can become contenders. There are many scenarios about what COULD happen, but what will happen might be quite different.

Amare already verbally agreed to join the Knicks, that means Lee is probably not going back to New York.

Rudy Gay, who the Timberwolves were targeting agreed to resign with the Grizzlies.

Dirk is back in Dallas.

Paul Pierce took a pay cut to return to Boston, I expect Ray Allen to return as well, he may move though.

Joe Johnson agreed to a max contract with Atlanta.

The big names: Lebron, Wade, Bosh, Boozer, and Lee have not agreed to go anywhere yet.

This is what I expect to happen:

Lebron will resign with the Cavs, Bosh will not play with Wade or Lebron, and Wade stay with Miami who will get Lee or Boozer.

Mark my words, Lebron will retire a Cav. He is not leaving Ohio. The summer of change will be the summer of resigning and there will be no power shift in the NBA the same way there will be no polar shift in the year 2012, but there will be a lot of speculation up until then.

Lebron will bring a championship to Cleveland, which has not won a championship in 40+ years. It is just a matter of time, maybe Hickson will be his second hand man when he matures a little. They will win the title though. These are strong predictions, but this is just what I think will happen.
