NBA Free Agency 2016: Power Forwards

Perhaps not much left in the tank but Pau Gasol, Tim Duncan and Dirk Nowitzki remain All-Star caliber players for now.

POINT GUARDS / SHOOTING GUARDS / SMALL FORWARDS / POWER FORWARDS / CENTERS

1. Pau Gasol Player Option / Power Forward / 7-0 / Team: Chicago 16.9 ppg, 10.9 rpg, 1.9 bpg Could be looking at his last big deal in the NBA. Has made clear he's OK with being underpaid as long as he can get another shot at the title.

3. Dirk Nowitzki Player Option / Power Forward / 7-0 / Team: Dallas 17.6 ppg, 6.6 rpg Will be a 38-year-old free agent if he opts out. Based on history, he will not force the Mavericks to break the bank for him. Remains a lethal scorer.
