Not So Easy To Plan for 2010

2010 will probably be one of the most important free agency of the history of the NBA. Hence a lot of teams which are struggling right now are looking forward to this date to get an all star in order to become an NBA championship contender.

Among the best, Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire and Steve Nash will be free in less than 2 years.

What also participate to this big buzz is that big cities are struggling right now. We all know big towns like New York, Chicago, Detroit or New Jersey could offer great exposure and raise the merchant value of players.

Nevertheless, one of the key factor these players will consider prior to making a decision is the team's competitiveness to win a NBA titles. A lot of teams, especially the Knicks and the Pistons, are making a bunch of deals to get some salary cap space. They are also checking out players that would be a good fit if Lebron is coming in town.

Though, it is difficult to put all your eggs in the same basket: if you can't get James, and that your team has been set up for his arrival, how are you going to compose your roster?

What makes it difficult is that the best players available are all playing at a different position: PG(steve Nash), SG (Dwayne Wade), SF (james) PF (Bosh) and center (Stoudemire). If you get your team ready for Lebron, meaning you get a great point guard and peoplz that are good down the paint, that would be difficult to get Bosh in the best conditions to get a NBA title. That is all the problems GMs have to face.
