Who are the big players next summer? The following 6 teams have under $40mil committed next year: The teams who need to re-sign restriced free agents are: Philly: $23mil, need to re-sign Turner and Hawes Suns: $36mil, need to re-sign Bledsoe Utah: $28mil, need to re-sign Hayward And the top 3 players of the offseason will be: In third place, Orlando Magic: $35mil. Entire young core is under contract, so should be big players and an attractive option. Great weather, great developing squad... In second place, Lakers: $35mil commited (only Kobe, Nash, Sacre on the books though) Biggest destination club in the league, will be linked to everyone, but Kobes new contract makes them the second must watch team of the summer and can only afford 1 max contract. Pau most probably gone. Drum roll please... the most watched and best team that will be everywhere this offseason is... Dallas: $26mil. Cuban with this kind of cap space? Its going to be glorious. Friendly tax laws, the best owner in the league, a championship coach... Dallas will be linked to everyone. Yes, they need to re-sign Dirk, but unlike a fellow veteran, hes already said hed take a very cap friendly deal ala KG and Duncan (#goodguyPFs They have a back court of Ellis and Calderon and will keep Dirk, meaning any big name SF and C on the market, Cuban has room to throw two max contracts around and will flesh it out with a few $5mil deals too. Hes going for the instant rebuild after missing on Deron and Dwight. Hell be like a kid in a candy store. *Cle will have $39mil committed should they release Bynum and Varejao. $48mil with both of them... still room for 1 max free agent, should a SF be available...
