Top 10 NBA Free Agents (and where they're going)

With the craziest NBA free agent signing period ever beginning in just a few hours, I'm tired of listening to all the rumors so I've decided to just let you know what's going to happen.


10. Ray Allen, SG, Boston Celtics: Great shooter, very inconsistent and at the end of his career.

Likely Signing With: Boston Celtics. Possibly whatever team Lebron signs with to be the wide-open three-point shooter and pick up two more rings before he retires.


9. David Lee, PF, New York Knicks: Tremendous rebounder and role player in the prime of his career.

Likely signing with: New Jersey Nets or New York Knicks.


8. Carlos Boozer, PF, Utah Jazz: Great scoring and rebounding power forward, potential all-star. Horrible timing with becoming a free-agent this year where there are at least four power forwards available that are better than him.

Likely Signing With: Los Angeles Clippers or New Jersey Nets.


7. Paul Pierce, SF, Boston Celtics: Strong scorer that can provide a go-to player for any team in the clutch.

Likely Signing With: Boston Celtics, possibly Los Angeles Clippers to play with childhood friend Baron Davis.


6. Joe Johnson, SG, Atlanta Hawks: Top scorer in the prime of his career. Younger version of Ray Allen.

Likely Signing With: New York Knicks to become their primary player.


5. Dirk Nowitzki, PF, Dallas Mavericks: Possibly the best pure scorer available, Dirk is unstoppable on offense.

Likely Signing With: Dallas Mavericks to finish his career where it started.


4. Amare Stoudemire, PF, Phoenix Suns: A beast in the post, he's got great offense and improving defense in the prime of his career.

Likely Signing With: Miami Heat to join forces with Wade.


3. Chris Bosh, PF, Toronto Raptors: Perennial all-star in the post that will loosen up any defense for outside shooters.

Likely Signing With: Chicago Bulls or Cleveland Cavs, wherever Lebron goes.


2. Dwyane Wade, SG, Miami Heat: Second best player in the NBA.

Likely Signing With: Miami Heat, possibly Chicago Bulls to play in his hometown.


1. Lebron James, SG, Cleveland Cavaliers: Best player in the NBA, probably will finish his career as the best ever.

Likely Signing With: Cleveland Cavaliers, Chicago Bulls, New Jersey Nets. This is a tough one to call. James is from Ohio and a loyal person but Chicago has the best opportunity to build a championship legacy. On the other hand, his good friend is a co-owner of the Nets.

Also, you heard it here first: Lebron James has purchased a mansion in New Jersey. This is not from any media outlets out there, but from a friend of a friend. Good to know real estate agents.
