NBA Free Agency 2017: Power Forwards

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

	1. Blake Griffin Player Option / Power Forward / 6-10 / Team: LA Clippers 21.6 ppg, 8.1 rpg, 4.9 apg
Look for him to opt out and get a humongous deal. With the Clippers’ championship window closing, will he look for greener pastures?

Agent: Sam Goldfeder

2016/17 Earnings: $20,093,064

Career Earnings: $96,463,407

	2. Paul Millsap Player Option / Power Forward / 6-8 / Team: Atlanta 18.1 ppg, 7.7 rpg, 3.7 apg
Overachieves year after year. May not have superstar talent, but makes a very noticeable impact on both ends of the court.

Agent: DeAngelo Simmons

2016/17 Earnings: $20,072,033

Career Earnings: $92,110,037

	3. Serge Ibaka Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-10 / Team: Toronto 14.8 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 1.6 bpg

2016/17 Earnings: $12,250,000

Career Earnings: $55,165,662

	4. Pau Gasol Player Option / Power Forward / 7-0 / Team: San Antonio 12.4 ppg, 7.8 rpg
Like most, he’s sacrificing stats in order to fit with what the Spurs do. His stint in San Antonio is mostly a success story so far.

Agent: Steve Heumann

2016/17 Earnings: $15,500,000

Career Earnings: $178,599,916

	5. Dirk Nowitzki Team Option / Power Forward / 7-0 / Team: Dallas 14.2 ppg, 6.5 rpg

Career Earnings: $16,631,175

	10. Amir Johnson Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-9 / Team: Boston 6.5 ppg, 4.6 rpg

Career Earnings: $66,062,970

	18. Donatas Motiejunas Unrestricted / Power Forward / 7-0 / Team: New Orleans 4.4 ppg, 3.0 rpg

	19. Jared Sullinger Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-9 / Team: Phoenix 3.4 ppg, 2.5 rpg

	28. Luis Scola Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-9 / Team: Brooklyn 5.1 ppg, 3.9 rpg

	29. Adreian Payne Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-9 / Team: Minnesota 3.5 ppg, 1.8 rpg

	33. Nick Collison Unrestricted / Power Forward / 6-10 / Team: Oklahoma City 1.7 ppg, 1.5 rpg
