3. LaMarcus Aldridge, UFA

In an era where guards supposedly dominate, the No. 3 free agent in the NBA is power forward LaMarcus Aldridge. He’s as consistent a scorer as you’ll find from the 4 spot, all the while providing an above-average impact defensively.

Oftentimes, people lose sight of the fact that Aldridge has an easily utilizable 7’5″ wingspan.

Aldridge’s clear appeal is his offense, as he’s an excellent post player with a lethal midrange game. He’s expanded his range to beyond the 3-point line and consistently posts double-doubles.

Aldridge, a four-time All-Star, is due for a major payday.
