When free agency talks begin the one name coming from everyone's mouth is Lebron James. He's been on the minds of GM's around the NBA for quite a while now. Teams the past couple of years trying to trim the big contracts and keep a solid group of starters to help Lebron James win a championship. Seriously interested teams include Chicago Bulls, The Nets (making the move to Brooklyn), New York Knicks, Miami Heat, and recently the Dallas Mavericks have been tossed into the pool.
According to a majority of ESPN analysts, the Chicago Bulls have pulled into a slight lead for the king but its anyone's game. ESPN also says that Chris Bosh is looking to follow Lebron closely to hopefully sign with the team James selects. Bulls fans should be extremely excited, having a squad that could potentially involve Lebron James and Chris Bosh. With Derrick Rose at point the Bulls could remind you of the old days with Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman.
Things are looking good for the Bulls but what happens to Cleveland? It probably sucks to be a Cavs fan right now. No Tom Izzo, most likely the departure of the greatest player in Cavs history. If the Cavs could secure one of the other major free agents on the market that is probably much cheaper than Lebron, they could start creating a solid TEAM. Other major f
ree agents include Dwayne Wade, Amare Stoudemire, Dirk Nowitzki, Richard Jefferson, Josh Howard, Shaq(even though he's pretty much done), Ray Allen, Carlos Boozer, Yao Ming, and Joe Johnson to name a few.Now I'm a hometown fan. I love the Pistons. So i have to wonder what Joe Dumars was thinking when he signed Ben Gordon and Charlie Villenueva. When you have this kind of free agency class, why wouldn't you save the money to sign a couple of these big names. The Pistons need to make some sort of move because these set of guys the pistons have now, won't win you a championship. So Joe D you need to wake up and pull something magical out of your rear!
Who would you like to see sign with your favorite team?
