Power Forwards

Unrestricted Free Agents (Mavs): David Lee, Charlie Villanueva

Let’s be honest. We know Dirk Nowitzki is opting out of his contract so he can sign a two-year deal and finish his career with the Mavs. The only power forward shopping they would be doing this summer would involve backups for The Big German.

Mirza Teletovic – Phoenix Suns: Pursue

Teletovic just finished up his best year in the NBA. He’s already at age 30 with only four seasons under his belt but his shot from three-point range is no joke and he showed it off by averaging 12.2 points per game this season. He’d be an excellent scoring threat off the bench.

Luis Scola – Toronto Raptors: Pursue

His best years are behind him and his numbers have began to decline every season, but his work in the paint makes him a valuable bench big man.

Josh Smith – Houston Rockets: Avoid

With just nine double-digit scoring games this season, Smith is in a dangerous position. Playing for drama-filled teams like the Clippers and Rockets didn’t help his case either.
