The start of NBA Free Agency is just around the corner and there are a number of top players that will be hitting the open market. While plenty of the top targets around the league will return to their old team, most of the top available players will be up for grabs.

This year, Chris Paul and Dwight Howard are undoubtedly the top two players on the open market.

Unfortunately for teams looking to add a top point guard, Paul’s representatives have already stated that he plans to return to the Clippers next season. For teams interested in Howard, it looks like they will need to outbid the Houston Rockets or Dallas Mavericks.

NBA Free Agency appears like it will be a wild ride, so buckle up and prepare for the fun.
