Dwight Howard
Dwight Howard is the most dominant center in the league, without a doubt. He's the third highest scorer in the league and the leader in both rebounds and blocks. The question still remains: Will Dwight Howard resign with the New York Knicks or will he pursue a more lucrative destination?
The New York Knicks have $37,828,711 to use on any free agent of their choosing. They can use this money to offer Howard a max contract. But will they?
According to our sources, Yes!

Chris Paul
2013 MVP, Chris Paul is a highly sought after commodity. Averaging 23.2ppg, 3.8rpg, and 7.5apg, Chris Paul lead the league in assists and came out second in steals.
The Chicago Bulls paid a steep price to acquire Chris Paul, and our sources state that General Manager, Aubrey Graham, is very eager to have Chris Paul re-join the Chicago Bulls.
Chris Paul stays in Chicago, he has a legitimate shot at a championship and is surrounded by an excellent front-court.

Deron Williams
Deron Williams is the second best point guard entering free-agency. Without bird rights to Deron Williams, Oklahoma City Thunder is going to have a difficult time re-signing and convincing Deron Williams to stay.
Sources state that Deron Williams was infuriated after the Thunder had an embarrassing second round exit.

Josh Smith
Second in the league in blocks, Josh Smith is destined to be pursued by every team entering free-agency. His athleticism and vertical ability are phenomenal and something you don't see out of every players.
Josh Smith has a lot of places where he could go that could really use his talents. Denver Nuggets, Sacramento Kings, and the Indiana Pacers.
The young prospects in Denver should win Josh Smith when it's all said and done.

Roy Hibbert
Standing at 7' 2", 280 lbs, Roy Hibbert is no slouch. He's only 26 years-old and he has a very bright ahead of him. His rebounding and defensive abilities are very sought after, especially in a league so thin on big men.
With a back-court consisting of Serge Ibaka and Rudy Gay, Hibbert isn't leaving Canada.

Al Jefferson
Big Al Jefferson is another big man that a lot of teams are interested in. He's older than Hibbert at 28 but he's a terrific rebounder and low-post scorer.
Under the right conditions, Al Jefferson can end up being a nightly 20-10 guy.
Look for Al Jefferson to move to the Sacramento Kings. With Damian Lillard and Russell Westbrook, Al Jefferson will be able to score more and handle most, if not all, of the rebounding duties in Sac-Town.

Andrew Bynum
Not much to say about Bynum, he's been a superstar in Cleveland.
He's third in both blocks and rebounds and 17th in scoring.
Look for Dan Gilbert to resign the injury-plagued center.
Best Fit:
O.J. Mayo
Standing with a big grin on his face, Mayo knows that someone is destined to offer him a large contract. O.J. Mayo and Eric Gordon are the two best Shooting-Guards heading into free-agency and they will be a very sought after commodity.
Mayo may look to sign with the Oklahoma City Thunder, playing alongside Kevin Durant and DeMarcus Cousins.
But perhaps that's not the best destination for Mayo. With Durant being the main scoring option, Mayo will look to go to the Chicago Bulls.
The Bulls have shipped out Luol Deng, a three-point marksman, but now they are going to need someone else to handle the shooting.

Paul Milsap
Undersized for the power-forward position, Paul Milsap has been a great asset for the Indiana Pacers.
However, with Derrick Williams on the roster, will Milsap see enough minutes to warrant staying on the Pacers? Could he look to more attractive destinations such as the New York Knicks?
Disappointed with a second round exit and with no clear-cut agenda by the Pacers, Milsap will look to go to the New York Knicks to team up with Dwight Howard to form one of the best front-court duo's in the league.
The league will have to see how much synergy Howard and Milsap will have, but Milsap should be able to space the floor for both Derrick Rose and Dwight Howard to dominate.

Brook Lopez
Judging by the grin and macho look, Brook Lopez already knows where he's going, do you?
With a block-buster deal that sent Chris Bosh to the Brooklyn Nets, look for the Denver Nuggets to resign Lopez.
The future looks bright for the Nuggets with a starting line-up of Kyrie Irving-James Harden-Paul George-Josh Smith-Brook Lopez
A line-up that not only rivals the Miami Heat, but destroys them on paper.
