Centers -
1)Tyler Hansbrough C 6'8'' 245 34 A- C C- A A- D Cavalier
At 34 years of age, he may be a risk for a long term contract but based on his play last season he might just get that. Hasnbrough can score, rebound, and defend and with the Center position being probably one of the toughest to fill in BBS he might be the most coveted free agent.
Potential contract: 2 year MAX
Likely destinations: CLE, WAS, LAV
2)Al Jefferson C 7'0'' 283 34 C+ C- C A A D Rockets
Same as Hansbrough, except a much more mediocre offensive player. Though he blocks a ton of shots and grabs alot of boards and that alone with garner him a ridiculous contract.
Potential contract: 2 year MAX
Likely destinations: HOU, WAS, UTA, LAV
3)Tyler Perdue C 7'1'' 265 24 B C C+ A- B B Grizzlies
Had a breakout season last year and because of it will probably have a great free agency. Would not be surprising if he received a full 7 year max from the Memphis Grizzlies. He may not be as coveted as the previous 2, regardless of age, considering he hasn't shown to much ability to block a shot.
Potential contract: 7 year MAX
Likely destinations: MEM, NO, LAV, UT, CHI, WAS
Power Forwards
1)DeJuan Blair PF 6'7'' 268 31 A- C- C- A A D 76ers
The best Free Agent in this class. Does everything you could ask for at the 4 position. Many believe only Durant and Favors can be seen as more of a valuable player than Blair and that says it all. Highly unlikely he leaves Philadelphia, as New Orleans may be the only team to be able to steal him away.
Potential contract: 7 year MAX
Likely destinations:PHI, NO
2)Josh Smith PF 6'10'' 256 34 A- C C- A A- D Wizards
In the mold of Tyler Hansborough but playing at the 4 postion. Josh Smith is a much better blocker than Tyler and that makes his value all that much higher as well. Like Tyler and Jefferson though anything more than a 2 year MAX is unthinkable at this age.
Potential contract: 2 year MAX
Likely destinations:WAS, CHI, UTA,LAV
3)Bobo Bareagua PF 6'2'' 260 23 A- C- B+ B+ B B Nuggets
The best young free agent available. Bobo refused to re-sign in Denver and all reports point him to bolting out of town. Bobo almost landed in Dallas in a huge deal that involved Kevin Durant but management refused to part whom they deemed their best player. Denver is willing to break the bank with Bobo even if he wants to go somewhere else. Seeing the huge figure Denver is willing to give it wouldn't be surprising if he landed back in Denver.
Potential Contract: 7 year MAX
Likely destinations:DEN, NO, CHI, UT, WAS
