I think Dell will not make a major FA signing until 2014. Hopeful by that time we would be looking for a final piece to the puzzle. I would keep my eye on what happens with Tony Parker next season.

P.S. The 2014 FA class is LOADED

I hope you realize most of those players will resign with their current team

You might as well eliminate any player on that list that doesnt have a P or nothing by his name.

You sure do say a lot without actually making a point. Saying that he would be nice does not make it an expectation.

Holy crap what a list of FA's!!!!!

Here is my look at some of the big names:
PG

Kyrie Irving - Knicks
Tony Parker - Spurs
Ricky Rubio - Best chance of a PG the Hornets can sign for the future
John Wall - Prob heading for greener pastures
Kyle Lowry - Resign
Jameer Nelson - Resign
Rodney Stuckey - Resign
Eric Bledsoe - Gone pecan

SG

Kobe Bryant - Retire
Ray Allen - Retire
Monta Ellis - Goes where the money is
OJ Mayo - See Ellis
Dwayne Wade - He won't be back in Miami, he is going to be wearing a different uniform, promise.
Andre Igoudala - One of my favorite players and I hope the Hornets take a run at him before he becomes a FA

SF

Lebron James - Will resign before its too late, he loves Miami
Carmelo Anthony - Could be trying the Lebron thing and heading to Miami
Rudy Gay - Memphis will not let him leave
Paul Pierce - Celtics for life
MKG - Will be much more valuable at that time and could be one of the top FA in this class
Luol Deng - Bulls won't want to pay him so he is prob heading to the coasts
Danny Granger - Worthy big man with an outside game that many teams will want to have, not sure Indiana will want to let him go though
Draymond Green - I only include him because I think he is underrated to the point that someone will clean up with a medium sized contract for him but he will be an all-star one day

PF

Dirk Nowitzki - possibly retiring
Pau Gasol - PLEASE RETIRE
Tim Duncan - See above
Chris Bosh - Has proven he is not worth 20 million a year, Miami will not resign him
Amare Stoudemire - Injury prone, not sure too many teams will risk it but he will be chased, just not by NY
Zach Randolph - Oldie but goodie, I would take him in a second, Memphis won't let him go
Anthony Davis - Hornets better hand him a blank check

Center

KG - Celtics for life
DeMarcus Cousins - HUGE gamble, valuable but has issues with work ethic
Andrew Bogut - Hate to say it but he is a 14 million dollar paperweight
Greg Monroe - Uh, why wouldn't anyone want him? NO won't get him but it would be nice if we did. Prob heading to Philly or someone looking for a big man


That is all I got after first look at the list, I want to look over it again and do a better review but don't be surprised if half these guys are signed before 2014

1) I think Lakers will give LeBron, Kobe's money to play in LA.
2) I agree with the Kyrie & Wall predictions.
3) I truly think the Spurs will draft Parker's replacement remember the 2014 draft is being called the deepest & grestest draft since 2003. (Harrison Twins, Parker, Wiggins & Randle)

I hope the Hornets make a move for both Tony Parker & DeMarcus Cousins

it will not happen

Any team with a first round pick that is good controls that players destiny for about 7-8 years. Both Cleveland and Washington will pick up their options/give them max deals as soon as they can and neither guy sniffs FA until after those extensions expire.

Irving is gonna stay in Cleveland and he and Lebron are going to have a Shaq/Wade in Miami relationship

Their cap situation would make it tricky. Pretty sure they would have to match salaries in a trade to do it. Miami would have to want the players that come with any matching salary, and I don't see a whole lot of enticing future pieces in Laker Land.
