If there is no NBA season at all this year, which is now looking more and more likely, now is the time to talk about what free agency will look like next season. There are some big-name players who will be on the free agent block.
Here are just a few of those big names: Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, Dwight Howard, Steve Nash, and Tim Duncan. They have all been top players in the league and will all enter free agency in the 2012 off season.
Dwight Howard is obviously the biggest player who will be the free agent field the last year of his contract with the Orlando Magic this season.
He will be set to make a ton of money this year. I can't think of any team in the league who would not be willing to spend money on this player. He is the best center in the league, and he averages a double-double for his career. Dwight Howard is arguably the best player in the league right now, and he's a great player to build a team around. He would look really good in Madison Square Garden with the Knicks, especially since they can't play defense.
I think Chris Paul would be a great addition to any team that already has another big scorer-- would take some of the pressure off Paul every night. He will get his points and assists (just give him the ball); he gets the team involved and moving on offense as well as playing great shut-down defense from the Point Guard position.
If your team has a primary scorer and would like to pick up a veteran leader, Ray Allen or Kevin Garnett would be a good fit. Ray Allen can still score points, and he's the best three-point shooter in NBA history, so he would be a good addition to any team that lacks the three-point offense. Kevin Garnett is an inside threat as well as a medium-range player. Garnett is also older but plays good physical defense.
I am very excited about who may go where in the NBA free agency next season.
