#38 NBA Moves! Free Agency, Players that will have the biggest impact PART 1 (Haas Picks)

Where will the last free agents land? Let’s find out together.

Hi welcome back everybody! Like most of you know I posted about the regular season of the NBA weekly as well as I did while the play-offs were on. During the past season I posted over 30 times about my take on the best performers weekly. I really enjoyed doing it and will be back for sure next year!
A few months ago I watched the Championship parade in Auckland and realized we all have to wait until the last week of October again to watch some regular season action. Luckily we are in for a great off-season if you ask me, I expect many great moves and the Warriors will be looking closely on who wants to dethrone them.
Today I will post about the trades with the biggest impact to me. what free-agents will really turn a franchise around or will make sure they can make the next step.

LeBron James
Let’s start very obvious, everywhere LeBron will play the team will be in the play-offs. Therefore I believe the Lakers will make it to the play-offs. The West is deep but the Lakers added some good experienced players and I think they will surprise some people. I believe they will need to add another star player in order to really be a contender. Can’t wait so see how LeBron will carry the Lakers

DeMar DeRozan
Every talks about the other side of the trade, Leonard to the Raptors will help them. But as I mentioned before I love DeRozan I wished he was able to play for the Raptors his whole career. When I had my season seat of the team he was the one that made the Raptors better every year and even more important he made the whole franchise more important in the NBA. If the Raptors will be able to convince Khawi it if a good trade, it he does not want to stay the Raptors have cap-space to find a different star next season we will see.

I think the Spurs made sure to stay relevant with this trade, Rudy Gay resigned aswell, they did not glue the few months they played together but they have different roles now. I hope that DeMar will be able to upgrade his game a little bit more and show the West his talent.

Trevor Ariza
The Suns are super young and they need experience to guided them. Therefore them signing him is a very strong move. You won’t see the biggest impact this year but all the young players will be stronger their whole career because of his guidance. I don’t know if Ariza will be there long-term, but I think it’s possible for sure especially if they can sign some other players next year.

Witch moves are you most pleased by? Only a few more trades left before all teams can focus on next season. Soon I will post some more thought on the moves the teams made.
