Where do you see the free agents going this Summer?

Kevin Durant – Knicks

Kawhi Leonard – Clippers (Championship or not)

Kyrie Irving – Nets (Not sure he goes back to LBJ)

Klay Thompson – Warriors (It just seems right to keep him, Steph & Draymond together)

Jimmy Butler – Sixers (Sixers need him more than Harris & he has a good relationship with Embiid & Simmons)

Kemba Walker – Hornets (I dont like it, but I think he stays loyal & enjoys the big paycheck which screws the franchise for the next 5 years, but hey)

Tobias Harris – Pacers (I would’ve said Jazz, but I have them using cap to get Conley. In Indiana he would straight away be a 2nd option scorer & the team has a good culture)

Khris Middleton – Bucks (They got close, their star is 25yrs old & it would be dumb not to run it back)

D’Angelo Russell – Nets (Irving/Russell back-court is what I see. Brooklyn has the ability to put a better supporting cast around their duo though, unlike Portland who still got to WCF so they could be lethal)

Malcolm Brogdon – Bucks (To important to leave behind, key to the way Milwaukee plays)

Nikola Vucevic – Mavs (Love Dallas, but they tend to not get the big names. They could do with a starting C & why not make it an all-Out big 3 in Doncic, Porzingis & Vucevic)

Trade Targets:
Anthony Davis – Lakers (I think it happens & I think it makes sense for it to happen. They will round out their roster with guys like Bojan Bogdanovic & other solid role players)

Bradley Beal – Knicks (Durant will need help to win, Bradley Beal wants to win but is in a poor situation in Washington. Knicks can offer tools for a rebuild in #3 pick, Kevin Knox & Dennis Smith Jr)

Mike Conley – Jazz (Much like Tobias Harris I have it down to here or Indiana. Utah seemed more aggressive in wanting his services, but the Pistons are a dark horse here)

I like the list. Here’s where I disagree.

Vucevic- he stays. The magic GM is too smart to let him walk. Vooch and Porzingis both stretch the floor, but porzingis can’t guard most forwards.

the wizards should keep Beal, otherwise Wall has little trade value.

kawhi to the clippers makes no sense. Especially if Toronto is on the verge of a dynasty.

I can see Vucevic staying, especially if Orlando used Mo Bamba to bring in an upgrade PG or SG. (I know they have Fultz, but we still don’t know how good he is)

Wall has no trade value with or without Beal.

Dynasty might be a bit of a stretch they haven’t won anything yet, but a short-term deal of 1 + 1 or 2 + 1 is highly likely for him to stay in Toronto.

Kevin Durant – Knicks (He wants to be "The Man" on his own. Let him try to carry a team solo)

Kawhi Leonard – Raptors (I don’t buy the LA or bust narrative)

Kyrie Irving – Lakers (I don’t care that he just bought a house in South Orange – he’s from the Oranges, so that doesn’t mean that much to me about free agency. I think he reunites with LBJ to run it back)

Klay Thompson – Warriors 

Jimmy Butler – Sixers (this one I’m not positive about, but it still seems likely)

Kemba Walker – Hornets (He said he wants to stay. MJ wants to keep him. He can get WAY more $$$)

Tobias Harris – Sixers (don’t see Elton making the move just to let him walk)

Khris Middleton – Bucks 

D’Angelo Russell – Nets 

Malcolm Brogdon – Bucks

Nikola Vucevic – Kings (Vlade will convince him)

Julius Randle – Suns (Phoenix needs a PF. Good fit)

Trade Targets:
Anthony Davis – Pelicans (Griffin won’t give him up until they give the AD-Zion-Jrue trio a solid go at it)

Bradley Beal – Lakers (They won’t get AD, so Beal is a good backup plan – Ball, Ingram, and 4th pick get it done) 

Mike Conley – Jazz (It just seems like a good fit. Not sure what the Jazz give up to get him, though)

[MopgrassParticipant]

I like Randle on the Suns. It’s good him, good for them. The team would grow together. He also needs to leave the Pelicans. He and Zion are some of the most power forward-ie players in the NBA. They can’t play other positions for long periods of time.
