Everyone has a list of players for their favorite team to sign. However, here are five NBA free agents you should want your team to avoid.
The NBA offseason was off to a thrilling start on June 22 with a blockbuster Jimmy Butler trade to start the draft. Free agency promises to continue that thrill and carry it into July and beyond.
This free agency class is a mixed bag of superstars, stars and role players. However, the players at the top of the list such as Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry, don’t have much of a realistic chance to sign with someone other than their own team, the Golden State Warriors. So in that sense of free agency, there isn’t a big fish in the sea.
However, similar to the 2017 NBA Draft class, this free agent class promises to bring a lot of depth at varying positions. Experts aren’t expecting there to be a huge splash of spending similar to last season, as the salary cap didn’t rise nearly as much as predicted.
In fact, it actually went down $3 million since the April prediction and will sit at $99 million going into next year.
Teams have been informed the NBA expects the salary cap to go down from latest projections, per league source. $99 million the new number.

Since this is the time of the year where fans love to speculate, I’ll give you something to speculate about.
We all gloat and dream about what might be if our favorite team signs the stud free agents or even certain players who we believe fit well with our team.
This list is the opposite. This is the list of five players you absolutely do not want on your team. Here are five players you should hope and pray that your team avoids come July 1.
