22. Joakim Noah, Unrestricted
Rumors, they are a circulating.
However, I don’t believe them. In no way will the Washington Wizards extend a max contract offer to Joakim Noah. As great of a center as he was when he was healthy, he’s seen a pretty decent drop in production during the last few seasons. There’s no way he’s going to make that type of money on the open market.
Nevertheless, he’s still going to be a solid addition to any team that needs a backup – or even starting – center. I think there are two legitimate landing spots for Noah – New York and Minnesota. It’s really a tossup.
Prediction: Signs two-year deal in New York
Next: No. 21
