Guess what teams get worse after this summer without getting any high profile free agent, but losing its own? Especially those high ambitious? For instance Heat, if Wade goes away, then what happens? Knicks does not get Lebron, then what? The higher the expectation is, the more the disappointment will be! -- the all-in teams I think the biggest loser will be Heat, but biggest winner will be Nets
It's looking like the Knicks. If Lebron doesn't choose the Knicks and Bosh decides against Miami. Miami will push for and probably get Amare. The Knicks would be left with Carlos Boozer and having to pay major dollars for Paul Pierce or trading for Gilbert Arenas.
Richard Jefferson will be the biggest loser! If Joe Johnson get the max contract then he will be the biggest winner!
Biggest Winners: Amir Gooden Milicic Frye Gay Rockets after we land bosh and NY strikes out Biggest Losers: Whoever overpaid these. And New York.
Biggest losers would probably be small market teams with poor GMs foolishly overpaying for marginal talent. It's going to be their fault the NBA gets locked out too which ultimately makes us basketball fans the big losers. Every stupid FA signing is another nail in the coffin of the 2011 NBA season because it's making these teams financially insolvent. The NBA is like a very nice rental neighborhood where half the homeowners are spending more than they can afford on their home and will eventually go bankrupt and have to put their home up for sale through foreclosure and thus will bring down the value of all the homes. Only in that analogy everyone in the neighborhood will have to be homeless in 2011 until the homeowners can agree on a way to make the rent they charge their tenants actually cover their expenses on the house.
Clippers because there is never hope for them besides every lottery draft. They get Blake Griffin back but thats about it.
Biggest loser will be the knicks. They wont get Lebron, Wade, or Bosh. Dirk stays in Dallas, Pierce stays in Boston, Atlanta recently offered Johnson a max contract, so what does that leave for the Knicks?
biggest loser: heat - be fun to see how many nbaDL players they have next year. 2nd: Knicks... they will get amare but not good enough. winners: nets - lebron bulls - wade rockets - bosh
