Mark your calendars as July 1 is just a few days away, What’s with this day? It’s the beginning of testing the open market for the 2010 NBA free agents.
This is probably the most talented crop of free agents in basketball history and leading the pack is two-time NBA regular season MVP (Most Valuable Player) from the Cleveland Cavaliers, LeBron James.
James who was the number one overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft also already won two All-Star game MVPs. He already reached the Finals in 2007 but failed to win the trophy as the San Antonio Spurs swept the Cavs.
Recently in the NBA Playoffs, the Cavaliers won over Bulls in the first round but the Celtics beat the Cavaliers in the next round
The five teams that have the most money to spend for the 2010 NBA free agents are; New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat, New Jersey Nets and Los Angeles Clippers.
