As the NBA offseason draws closer, we rank the top 25 free agents of 2016

NBA teams eagerly anticipate this time of year, a time of change. Free Agency is a mad dash for teams to try and sign back their best players as other teams attempt to make a run at those same players.

This is what makes the offseason, not so off. NBA free agency starts the first week of July – the 1st to be exact. Teams are allowed a week to meet and persuade free agent players on why they are the best suit for them (July 1-9). After that week is over, NBA teams are officially allowed to announce their signings and, most importantly, put pen to paper.

With some all-star names in the pool, the 2016 free agency is sure to be full of heartbreak and full of excitement.

Where will superstars like LeBron James and Kevin Durant play in the 2016-17 season? Will they stay or go?

We break down the top 25 unrestricted free agents of the 2016 class.
