NBA Rumors: Ranking and predicting where the top 35 free agents will sign.
Now that the 2023 NBA Draft is officially in the books, the NBA’s attention will now shift to the start of Free Agency. Less than a week away, teams will be given the opportunity to have communication and contact with free agents.
Officially, teams and free agents are able to begin negotiation Friday, June 30 at 6:00 p.m. However, deals can’t be officially signed until July 6. In a loaded NBA Free Agency class, there will be plenty of intrigue over the course of the next couple of weeks. In anticipation, we rank the top 35 free agents and make a prediction of where they’ll sign.
The top 35 NBA Free Agents
Noteworthy: 35. Miles Bridges (restricted)
Heading into the offseason, it’s going to be impossible to not talk about Miles Bridges. He has officially been suspended by the NBA and that will likely ultimately lead to his return. All it takes is for one team to be willing to take a flier on him. Even though he probably doesn’t deserve another shot in the NBA, I believe he’s going to get one. Because of how talented he is, he’s going to be back in the league sooner rather than later. And I predict that will happen this offseason.
All indications seem to link him back to the Charlotte Hornets. That said, it will be interesting to see if the change in ownership changes that at all. However, for a team that is desperate for talent, I think he makes his return to the NBA with the Hornets.
Prediction: Charlotte Hornets
