Guys do you think we have a realistic shot at Durant?
Also what should be out moves for 2016?
2016 FREE AGENTS
KEVIN DURANT: It is quite possible that he will be the best player in the game, given his age (27 in 2016) and the heavy lifting LeBron James may have to do in Cleveland. It is also quite possible that he will have had his fill of living in a fly-over state with a cheap owner and want to come home to the DC area and join what likely could be the best backcourt in the NBA.
JOAKIM NOAH: With the outside exception of Anthony Davis, there is no reason to believe he won’t be the best all-around center in the game. He also will cost a lot more than the $60 million over five years that he got in his current deal.
AL HORFORD: No one questions his ability, and he would be even better if he spent more time at power forward rather than playing as an undersized center. But he has missed 116 of 230 games due to injury since signing a five-year, $60 million deal and needs to put together a couple of healthy seasons to get a max deal.
NICOLAS BATUM: He will only be 27 in the summer of 2016 and could be very intriguing as something more than the third offensive option he is in Portland. Don’t be surprised if he is maxed out because his two-way skills will be in great demand, especially because he plays the same position as James and Durant.
MIKE CONLEY: He has never been an All-Star, and his name never comes up when discussing the game’s top point guards. But how many of those guys are actually better two-way players? He has played way above the five-year, $45 million contract many thought was a reach and easily is in line for a deal averaging in the teens.
OTHERS: Kobe Bryant will be 37 and probably ready to call it quits. …
David Lee won’t get anywhere near the $80 million he got in his last deal. … Teammates
JaVale McGee and
Danilo Gallinari will help clear out Denver’s cap but need to stay healthy to maintain their earning power. …
Nene will be 33 with a long history of injuries and probably end up with the mid-level exception. …
Ryan Anderson and
Jeff Green are nice third options but probably don’t warrant eight figures.
