Free Agency officially begins on July 1, but you can already get the sense that this is going to be one wild period. Each year there is a headliner, this year it’s Dwight Howard and Chris Paul. We expect Paul to stay in LA, now that he has Doc Rivers, so we will leave him out of this Big Board of Free Agents.
