Here is a detailed report of the free agents list, teams positions and
basically everything that I feel you may want to know. I know that the
C's aren't going to have a major impact on the free agency this season,
unless some totally unrealistic trades are carried out, but I'm sure
some of you are still into it all.
We'll start out by listing the free agents, what teams they're on,
division by division. Then I've composed a list of all of the players at
each position that are free agents (Huckaby, I dont know him, so I
placed him at shooting guard, it shouldn't really matter).
Then I've put each team taken away its free agents and then put

now with that in mind, lets have a look at the order of teams that will
be able to spend the big dosh on these guys. (Using a estimated
$30,000,000 cap) (also note that the following teams are over that
already- Indiana, Lakers, Miami, New York, Orlando, Portland, San
Antonio, Washington- they dont go in the 22.) Gang Green is $3,599,500
under the cap.
1- Denver 6- Golden State 11- Milwaukee 16- Dallas 21- Boston
2- Philly 7- Chicago 12- Clippers 17- Cleveland 22- Seattle
3- Phoenix 8- Toronto 13- Vancouver 18- New Jersey
4- Houston 9- Detroit 14- Atlanta 19- Portland
5- Charlotte 10- Sacramento 15- Minnesota 20- Utah

shall make an update at the trading deadline when it is almost
definite.)
