NBA Free Agency 2021 is almost upon us, and the Portland Trail Blazers will soon be making decisions about which incumbent players to offer contracts and who to lure off the market. Today John Hollinger of The Athletic ranked current NBA free agent Centers and found Portland’s current candidates lacking, even in a relatively mediocre class overall.
Hollinger used his homemade reference point called “BORD$”, which he describes this way:
How much value can we expect a given player to deliver for next season? I based this on two variables: the expected quality of the players’ minutes, and how many minutes we’d expect the player to play on an average team.
