This year, free agency revolves around the Atlantic Division. For instance, the Toronto Raptors are not only the reigning champions, they also hold the key to the free agency with Kawhi Leonard being the biggest name on the market. The New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets are embroiled in a showdown to acquire the services of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Philadelphia has Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris as max free agent flight-risks. Oh and then there’s those rumors of the Boston Celtics being the frontrunners for Kemba Walker.
With the Atlantic Division shaping up to be the strongest it has ever been, the NBA is looking at a potential power balance swing to the Eastern Conference.
