NBA Free Agency: Chronicling The Most Decorated Free Agent Class Ever

Is it hyperbole to say that? Probably. But it's also kind of true. With the possible exception of 1996, when Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal and Reggie Miller were the headliners, there has never been a free agent class as decorated as this one. Besides LeBron James, the following players are on the market:

Those guys, along with a handful of second- and third-tier players, make up a free agent class for the ages. Better yet, there are nine teams with over $10 million in cap room, as well as several others with the means to acquire top-level talent via a sign and trade. In other words, there’s enough demand to keep up with the supply.

The free agency period officially begins on July 1, but there will be a lot of speculation about where all these guys will go even before then. We already have a place to track the LeBron James speculation, but now, we have a place to track all free agency rumors. Check back for any and all updates that provide any clues about where any free agent not named LeBron will end up this summer.
