Since the NBA draft happened, there have been some moves in
the free agency that have surprised some of us, and some that has not. The first big player, LaMarcus Aldridge from
the Portland Trail Blazers will be meeting with 2 teams this Tuesday. The Lakers and the Rockets will be the first
2 teams to meet with Aldridge to discuss possible signing opportunities. Wednesday, Aldridge will be meeting with more
teams including the San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks, Phoenix Suns, Toronto
Raptors, and also the New York Knicks.
From this activity it seems that Aldridge will be highly unlikely to
stay with the Trail Blazers.
The most dominate basketball player in the world, LeBron
James, will be a free agent July 1st, in which he was a part of the
Cleveland Cavaliers finals run this season.
My opinion on this is that he will be returning to the Cavs before the
start of the season, yet he will be negotiating contract plans and also try to
help lure in other teammates. It has
been reported the James will not be meeting with other teams, which constitutes
the fact that he will be returning with the Cavs.
The last player is the NBA’s most improved player, Jimmy
Butler, for the Chicago Bulls might not be returning to the Bulls this
offseason. Butler is a free agent right
now and looking at other teams to give him a huge contract deal. Now the Chicago Bulls have the right to match
any offer that other teams offer, yet it is solely up to Jimmy on where he
wants to play next season. There have
even been rumors that Butler wanted to sign a short deal with the Lakers for a
year or two. Let’s hope he stays in
Chicago where they need him, as he’ll provide a solid backcourt option with
former MVP Derrick Rose.
