With the league in hiatus, fans can return to future speculation. Free agency always proves to be wild, and the NBA offseason tends to often be a circus of nonstop entertainment. Now, where will the top 10 free agents this summer land?<\/p>\n
Ibaka has enjoyed great success in Toronto. He’s still capable of being a major game-changer for a title-contending team. With that said, there’s no better player to play with than LeBron James<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n If Ibaka is hungry for another title, landing in Los Angeles would only improve one of the most feared frontcourts in the league. The fit is there with Dwight Howard<\/a><\/strong> and DeMarcus Cousins<\/a><\/strong> set to be free agents.<\/p>\n Bogdanovic has the potential to be a star elsewhere, but he’s entering the summer as a restricted free agent. His name was thrown around during the trade deadline, but he stayed in Sacramento and even became a starter.<\/p>\n The Kings have plenty of youthful talent and keeping Bogdanovic would be key for their first playoff appearance in years.<\/p>\n Hayward has shown improvement this season after his horrific injury. He’s been crucial to the Celtics’ surge as one of the league’s top teams.<\/p>\n With a player option for $34 million at hand, Hayward will be returning to Boston.<\/p>\n The Heat pushed for Gallinari during the trade deadline but were unable to finalize a deal. The Italian international has continued his hot play, however, and has been a key factor in the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a>‘s rise in the playoff standings.<\/p>\n His shooting will be welcomed in a young line-up alongside veteran leader Jimmy Butler<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n VanVleet has emerged as a star in Toronto after the 2019 playoffs and his play this season. He’s a fan-favorite as well and has shown no desire to leave.<\/p>\n At only 26-years-old, he’ll sign a long-term extension with the Raptors and eventually form an elite duo alongside Pascal Siakam<\/a><\/strong> once Kyle Lowry<\/a><\/strong> leaves.<\/p>\n First off, Drummond has said that he plans on picking up his player option. With that in mind, the Cavaliers showed improvement after the Drummond trade. They traded for the big man for low value, but he should be in their plans.<\/p>\n With\u00a0Collin Sexton<\/a><\/strong>‘s improved play and what should be a top-five pick in the draft, the Cavs have a chance to build something.<\/p>\n Don’t forget about DeRozan. Sure, the San Antonio Spurs<\/a> won’t make the playoffs this season, but the former All-Star is averaging just about 22 points, six rebounds, and six assists per game.<\/p>\n Trae Young<\/a><\/strong> is entering star status, and the Hawks should surround him with more talent before the other lower-tier Eastern Conference teams finish their rebuilds.<\/p>\n Harrell is excelling off the bench this season, but he’s ready for a major starting role. The Knicks’ experiment of signing as many power forwards as they could this past offseason was yet another failure, but Harrell is different. He comes from a winning environment and is actually a piece to build around.<\/p>\n The Knicks have a decent young core and Harrell would be a much better fit than\u00a0Julius Randle<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Ingram is having a break-out season and even secured his first All-Star appearance. In addition, his fit with budding star\u00a0Zion Williamson<\/a><\/strong> has been superb. The two have a chance to form one of the league’s top duos, so look for Ingram to sign a long-term extension.<\/p>\n Like Ingram, Davis isn’t going anywhere. The Lakers have been the top team in the Western Conference, and arguably the favorite to win the championship. Davis will stay alongside James and eventually make the Lakers his own team.<\/p>\n Main Photo9. Bogdan Bogdanovic<\/a> – Sacramento Kings<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n
