NBA Free Agency

NBA free agency has officially begun and already, the Detroit Pistons made a splash signing both Gordon and Villanueva. They're good moves and makes them more competitive next year. However, I don't think the moves make them a SERIOUS contender in the East. With teams like Cleveland, Orlando, and Boston, Detroit still does not have enough to compete with the big three.

Anderson Varejao opted for free agency, leaving the Cavs without a 4. They have been in talks with Ariza, which I find intriguing. However, he's only 6'8" and plays the 3 and does not solve the problem of the 4. If you can't resign Varejao, who would you put at the 4 if you're Cleveland? LeBron? Z? Food for thought.

FA Hedo Turkoglu would be a nice fit in Toronto. The reason why I say Toronto and not Portland is because Portland has some big man depth with Fernandez.

My top 5 power rankings for next season:
1. Lakers
2. Cavs
3. Boston
4. Spurs
5. Magic

Stay tuned!
