NBA Free Agent Frenzy

Today is D-day in the NBA. Teams have given away everything for a shot to land LeBron and some other pieces to make a championship push. I believe that LBJ won't be going anywhere. There are a number of reasons James will be back with Cleveland.

Reasons he will stay:

1. LeBron grew up outside of Cleveland
2. The city revolves around him
3. Byron Scott
4. Have the last meeting with LeBron before he decides where to go.

Reasons he won't go to

1. Miami : He will be #2 behind Dwayne Wade in the fans eyes
2. Chicago: He is trying to get away from being compared to MJ
3. New York/New Jersey: Big Markets but LeBron has his own market that would follow him no matter where he ends up. He is one of the faces of the NBA.
4. Clippers: Win some games and then we'll talk

Lebron is simply meeting with other teams to see what he is worth to them and then he will go back to Cleveland and say pay up.

Players that won't be leaving:

1. Dwayne Wade: He has no intention on leaving. He is the only player that is going to other big name players and saying come join me and play with the Heat.
2. Dirk Nowitzki: He and Cuban are attached at the hip. Cuban has treated and paid Dirk handsomely over the years and he will do so again. The only reason Dirk opted out of contract was so he could get additional years onto his contract.
3. Paul Pierce/Ray Allen: These two will be back especially after Boston announced that Doc Rivers will be coming back and he said "(he) would like to give it another shot with this group".

Players that will be on the move:

1. Chris Bosh: Will be going to join Dwayne Wade in Miami. He has played in Toronto his entire career, he is going to want some warm weather and Miami also got the cash to pay him.
2. Amar'e Stoudemire & Joe Johnson: Will be joining the Knicks to play for their former coach when they were with the Suns Mike D'antoni
3. Carlos Boozer: Will be playing for the Bulls. He is the 3rd on their list of free agents to go after behind James and Bosh.

Players that could end up anywhere and will play key roles in a teams success:

1. Rudy Gay: 19.6 PPG 5.9 RPG 1.9 APG Signed 5 yr $82 Million deal with Memphis
2. David Lee: 20.2 PPG 11.7 RPG 3.6 APG

5 roll Players that will help any team:

1. Richard Jefferson: 12.3 PPG 4.4 RPG 2.0 APG
2. Tracy McGrady (when healthy): 8.2 PPG 3.1 RPG 3.3 APG
3. John Salmons: 15.4 PPG 3.3 RPG 2.8 APG
4. Ronnie Brewer: 8.8 PPG 3.2 RPG 2.7 APG
5. Raymond Felton: 12.1 PPG 3.6 RPG 5.6 APG
