Who will be the next Clippers GM…? Who knows but they would surely love to have this guy locked up. Neal has been a pre-season beast and he is having a solid season so far this year. He has proven to be a big time shot-blocker averaging around 3.6 blocks per game the past 2 seasons. His rebounding seems to have improved finally doing 10+ so far this season. He has a nice midrange and shoots 83% from the free throw line. He should be a nice addition to any team if he decides to leave and at 24 years old he should have enough potential to continue to improve his game. If he can get to B A A-/A he should be worth the max he is sure to get this free agency.

Derrek Dickey was a total steal for Play and has developed into a very good big. He is a double double machine that gets 3+ blocks night in and night out. He is coming off his 3 year rookie deal and should finally get paid in free agency. With not a lot of many good and elite bigs out there Dickey should get the attention of many GMs who have cap this off-season. He started out with 100 potential and with a B rating there he should still improve. 24 year old big 11 rebounds a game and 3 blocks shooting 78% from the free throw line should get a Max contract offered to him. I bet he offers to resign with Play since he is the one who found him and he owes Play his LIFE.
SMALL FORWARD

By far in my opinion the best free agent available this year is ML Carr. Drafted in one of the weakest drafts in recent memory, Carr has developed into an all-around stud. Although he is not yet a superstar in the league, he is well on his way. This year coming off the bench Carr is putting up 22.5 points 10 rebounds 5 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.6 blocks and only 2 turnovers. His ratings are up there with the best of them, A- B B- A B and A potential. Carr still has the ability to get even better and soon be considered one of the best players in the league. He has grown very close with his teammates and frequently walks around naked helicoptering his dick around Kermit face so sources tell me he will offer to resign with the Nets. However; if he reaches FA, he is without a doubt, getting maxed this off-season.
SHOOTING GUARD

Lou Hudson SG 50 38 25.2 7.4 3 1.3 0.6 2 0.508 0.916 0.458
This guy is having an amazing season. He is putting up 25 points 7.4 rebounds 3 assists and 1.3 steals. His percentages are also pretty incredible so far… 50.8% from the field 91.6% from the free throw line and 46% from downtown so like yea this guy can score lol. The only knock against him is that people in the league are not too high on shooting guards. His defensive rating is only B- so he is probably a liability on that side of the ball. However, this guy is one of the best shooting guards in the league and should get a lot of offers from teams with cap. He will be 32 years old if he hits free agency and won’t get a full max offer. If the Lakers want to keep him, and I’m sure they will, they will probably offer a 4 to 5 year max… risky.

Glock comes back to FA after being stolen away from the Magic not too long ago. I mean what can I say about this guy other than he is an absolute stud. One of the best point guards in the league averaging 28.6 points per game with 6 rebounds 4 assists 2 steals and only 1.7 turnovers. His percentages are ummm good? LOLZ 50% from the field, 88% from the FT line and well his 3s aren’t important lol. Aaron traded away Nate because he wouldn’t have been able to keep Glock but even now giving him a max should be a very tight situation for OKC. He doesn’t dish it out a lot but there is not a doubt that he is one of the best point guards in the league. Even though he will be 33 years old, If he reaches free agency you can expect a team to give him something like a 3 or 4 year max.
BENCH

He is an interesting player here without a doubt. Larry is a shutdown defender on arguably the best team in the league. His A+ defense with his 2.5+ steals is something that is going to be coveted by teams with cap and he shouldn’t cost too much. Larry has more to offer to a team than just his defense, his offensive game so far this season is not too shabby. He is averaging 14 points on a team with elite scorers like Hayes Issel Nate and also Walt who averaged 26 points last year. 47% from the field 88.5% from the FT line and 42% is pretty good for sure. Like I said Steele should come somewhat cheap because the Bobcats will be pressed up against the Hard Cap and won’t be able to offer top dollar for his services. A team should be able to steal him away on a one year max or 8ish million dollars a year.

Bobby Mac also (potentially) hits the market this off-season and should be a very nice pick up for any team if he decides to leave Minnesota. Bobby is having a really good season putting 24 points a game on pretty much 50% shooting. He also has a nice midrange which should allow him to move to small forwards. The knock on the second overall pick a few seasons ago is that he can’t rebound and probably won’t be able to play power forward or center for any team unless he improves. He also doesn’t defend very well and doesn’t get steals or blocks. With A potential left he should continue to improve without a doubt and become at the very least a very, very good small forward in the league. This guy will get maxed without a doubt and I think he will hit the market. He should be a top price for teams with cap.

For the purpose of this article this team needs a backup point guard. Taylor so far this season has an assist to turnover ratio of about 4-1. Although he hasn’t played a lot of minutes in Denver he has put up around 12 points a game on good percentages ; 49% from the field, 79.5% FT and 44% from 3. He never lived up to the potential he was supposed to have as the fifth overall pick a few years ago but I think he can be a solid point guard in the league. Aar has always been high on him so why not let’s just throw him in there imo lol. He should be cheap… maybe an MLE or a 4 year contract around 5 mil per from Aar? I dk lol.
