Buckle up, basketball fans. NBA free agency begins in less than a week, and it promises to be a crazy ride.
The league’s website lists 226 players who are free agents of one kind or another. A few of them have announced retirements, Dirk Nowitzki and Dwyane Wade most notable among them. A few others are already off the market, having picked up a player option or having had their team pick up an option on them.
That still leaves a bunch of free agents out there.
The sheer volume alone would make for madness once the free-agency period opens at 5 p.
