NBA Free Agency 2016: Small Forwards

Both LeBron James and Kevin Durant can change a franchise’s fortunes. Nobody expects LeBron to leave. Kevin Durant on the other hand…

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

Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-9 / Team: Oklahoma City
28.0 ppg, 8.2 rpg, 4.7 apg

Hits free agency for the first time in his prime. Outstanding scorer who can make a contender out of most teams. His departure would devastate Oklahoma City.

Career Earnings: $108,668,918
Player Option / Small Forward / 6-8 / Team: Cleveland

Nobody can picture LeBron James leaving Cleveland again. Look for him to sign a humongous deal with the Cavs.
Agent: Rich Paul
2015/16 Earnings: $22,970,500
Career Earnings: $172,770,813
Restricted / Small Forward / 6-8 / Team: Golden State
12.0 ppg, 4.6 rpg

He's putting up nice stats and winning every night. But with star potential, is he cool with a secondary role in Golden State?

Career Earnings: $12,645,278
Player Option / Small Forward / 6-9 / Team: Dallas

Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-8 / Team: Charlotte
14.2 ppg, 6.3 rpg, 5.5 apg

The French swingman is playing the best basketball of his career with a big role in Charlotte. Really bounced back from his poor 2014-15 season.

Career Earnings: $51,658,025
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-7 / Team: Boston
9.8 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 4.4 apg

Long-range shooting is still an issue with him. If you can look past that, a pretty nice player.

Career Earnings: $28,227,017
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-5 / Team: Atlanta
12.1 ppg, 5.0 rpg

The super athletic Bazemore has taken advantage of playing time in Atlanta and will be a coveted wing player in free agency.
Agent: Austin Walton

Career Earnings: $5,262,476
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-8 / Team: Miami

Career Earnings: $50,663,788
Restricted / Small Forward / 6-6 / Team: Portland

With Wesley Matthews and Nicolas Batum gone, he had to step up in Portland… and he did.

Career Earnings: $198,647,490

Ultra aggressive defender. One of the best rebounders at the small forward position. A bit of a head case.

Career Earnings: $22,766,122
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-7 / Team: Washington
