NBA teams can begin negotiating with free agents Friday evening and the speculation about who might go where and for how much is ramping up.
It’s an impressive free-agent collection, ranging from proven veterans looking for another big payday to young players wanting to hit the contractual jackpot for the first time.
Usually, much of the speculation leading up to the opening of free agency proves to be just that but there’s a feeling there could be some significant movement.
The Raptors are in the thick of it, with Fred VanVleet and Jakob Poeltl becoming unrestricted free agents and they are sure to attract some interest from other teams.
