Top Ten Winners of the 2018 NBA Free Agency
Now that most of the more important free agents have signed let's look at some of the winners of the 2018 NBA Free Agency.
The Los Angeles Lakers are an American professional basketball team based in Los Angeles. The Lakers compete in the National Basketball Association, as a member of the league's Western Conference Pacific Division.
Head coach: Frank Vogel
Arena/Stadium: Staples Center
NBA championships: 2020, 2010, 2009, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1988, 1987, 1985, 1982, 1980, 1972, 1954, 1953, 1952, 1950, 1949
Owners: Philip Anschutz, Ed Roski Jr., Patrick Soon-Shiong, Joey Buss, Johnny Buss, Jesse Buss, Jim Buss, Jeanie Buss, Janie Buss
Did you know: The Los Angeles Lakers have the second-highest all-time NBA regular season win-loss record percentage (.598) among all current NBA teams. The Lakers just pulled in my opinion the greatest player of all time LeBron James. And at the time I am making this post they are in the running for Kawhi Leonard. Their plan isn't to win the championship. It is to consistently improve and in maybe 1 or 2 seasons they will maybe win it.
Kawhi Anthony Leonard is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Clippers of the National Basketball Association. He has played for the San Antonio Spurs, Toronto Raptors, and the Clippers. Kawhi Leonard holds all the cards. He will pretty much dictate the trajectory of the NBA for years to come.
The Golden State Warriors are an American professional basketball team based in San Francisco. The Warriors compete in the National Basketball Association as a member of the league's Western Conference Pacific Division.
Location: San Francisco, CA
Arena/Stadium: Chase Center
Head coach: Steve Kerr
NBA championships: 2018, 2017, 2015, 1975, 1956, 1947
Owners: Joseph S. Lacob (majority), Peter Guber The Warriors pulled DeMarcus Cousins. My only problem with this is next Off-Season Klay Thompson and DeMarcus Cousins will be going into free agency. Kevin Durant has a player option and the next season Draymond is expiring. How are you gonna pay all these guys?
With LeBron gone Sexton will get to take over this team assuming that Kevin Love 's traded.
The Philadelphia 76ers are an American professional basketball team based in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. The 76ers are my pick to win the East. With LeBron out I think they will emerge with the Celtics as the beast of the East.
The Boston Celtics are an American professional basketball team based in Boston, Massachusetts. They are specifically known for honing infamous players such as Larry Bird, Bill Russell, Paul Pierce, and more. They are also known for having the most championships in NBA History, with 17 total. See Philadelphia 76ers.
Earvin "Magic" Johnson Jr. is a retired American professional basketball player who played point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association for 13 seasons. Magic won't have to quit his job now. He brought LeBron to the Lakers. Let's see what happens now.
An American professional basketball team, the Indiana Pacers are based in Indianapolis, Indiana. They are a member of the Central Division in the Eastern Conference of the NBA. The Pacers have seen significant success in the league playoffs and sport navy, gold, and white as their team colors. People are really sleeping on the Pacers in the East. Let's remember the last time we saw the Pacers they almost beat the Cavs. I could see the Pacers being that 3rd team in the East.
The Houston Rockets are an American professional basketball team based in Houston, Texas. The Rockets compete in the National Basketball Association, as a member of the league's Western Conference Southwest Division. I know the Rockets lost Ariza. If you just think about it though they resigned Chris Paul. They are probably going to match anything for Capela. Besides Ariza they will pretty much be the same team that probably would've beat the Warriors.
The Dallas Mavericks are an American professional basketball team based in Dallas, Texas. The Mavericks compete in the National Basketball Association as a member club of the league's Western Conference Southwest Division.
Devin Booker will only get better, Ayton is a very promising rookie, They got Trevor Ariza, and Mikal Bridges could also be a solid starting player in the future.
