July 1st is the start of N.B.A. free agency. With many players hoping to ink deals with their perspective teams or other organizations; Deron Williams will be leading the pack of free agents this year with the most attention and exposure. This has been a difficult time and decision for him. The two teams that he is considering are the Brooklyn Nets and his hometown Dallas Mavericks. Many believe that he will re-sign with the Nets, but may feel overwhelmed if he doesn’t get help there. D-Will is also feeling optimistic that he can bring other players to play in the new Barclays Center. He isn’t waiting for Dwight Howard to get there because that can be a long process in itself. Williams is one of the best point guards in the league that can change the organization for which he plays in. His quickness and pass first mentality makes him great. Wherever he signs will be the best for him and his family.
Our second prospect is 2-time MVP point guard Steve Nash. Many are wondering where he will land this summer and sign a lucrative contract. My prediction is that he will sign with Toronto Raptors. I know what you’re thinking people; why the Raptors, they suck? I know they are abysmal and they don’t look great, but this team can give him a 3 year/$36 million contract. Now that is a lot for a 38 year old aging player. I think that Nash still has some left in the tank, but the Raptors are desperate and may regret this contract. Toronto hasn’t been the same since the Vince Carter days. The Phoenix Suns only want to give him a two year deal. Nash wants more and who can blame him.
I want to talk about Joe Johnson of the
Atlanta Hawks. In 2010 they signed Johnson to a 6 year/$119 million deal. This
was a ridiculous contract to give him. Don’t get me wrong, he is a good player
but I don’t think great. Sorry Joe! He will most likely be traded this
off-season because of his bad contract and start somewhere fresh. The team that
is very interested in his services is the Brooklyn Nets. The only question I
ask them is how the hell they are going to trade for a player that is owed that
much money and who will they give up? This is very funny because they don’t
have many players signed to their roster. If they do get Johnson and re-sign
Williams, the Nets are going to be a playoff team and someone to be reckoning
with.
Lastly I want to talk the greatest shooter in N.B.A. history Ray Allen. I think that he will re-sign with the Boston Celtics for a two year deal. Why would you go to the enemy the Miami Heat? I just don’t see that happening, but I could be wrong too. I highly doubt it though. To the other free agents out there; good luck on getting that deal that you are looking for. What are your opinions people on this year’s free agency?
