Who's ready to have some fun? Free agency moratorium starts on July 1 at 12:00am (midnight) EST. Contracts can be offered, but a signing cannot be made official until July 6th at 12:00pm (noon) EST as that is when the moratorium ends.
Challenge:
Of the following 25 free agents listed... each contestant needs to determine if the player is leaving his current team or will be joining a new team. If they will be joining a new team what team will they be going to. How many years (including player option, team option, or eto) will that player get? How much will they make in their next contract (per year averaged, not total) plus or minus 5% (so for example, if player X makes $10M a year, and a contestant said $10.5M they would still be correct)? For sign and trades.. we want the team the player is traded to.
Bonus: Who of the 25 free agents will Woj (@WojVerticalNBA) tweet about first on or after July 1st as potentially signing a new contract with a team?
Tie Breaker: How many points will the Raptors score in their first summer league game (against New Orleans) on July 7th?
List of free agents:
1. Kyle Lowry (Toronto Raptors)
2. Serge Ibaka (Toronto Raptors)
3. Patrick Patterson (Toronto Raptors)
4. P.J. Tucker (Toronto Raptors)
5. Chris Paul (LA Clippers)
6. Blake Griffin (LA Clippers)
8. J.J. Redick (LA Clippers)
8. Rudy Gay (Sacramento Kings)
9. Arron Afflalo (Sacramento Kings)
10. Tyreke Evans (Sacramento Kings)
11. Paul Millsap (Atlanta Hawks)
12. Danilo Gallinari (Denver Nuggets)
13. Amir Johnson (Boston Celtics)
14. Andre Iguodala (Golden State Warriors)
15. Jrue Holiday (New Orleans Pelicans)
16. Taj Gibson (Oklahoma City Thunder)
17. Kyle Korver (Cleveland Cavaliers)
18. Nick Young (LA Lakers)
19. Vince Carter (Memphis Grizzlies)
20. James Johnson (Miami Heat)
21. Dion Waiters (Miami Heat)
22. Jeff Teague (Indiana Pacers)
23. Derrick Rose (NY Knicks)
24. Dewayne Dedmon (San Antonio Spurs)
25. Gordon Hayward (Utah Jazz)
You get one point for determining if the player stays or leaves. Two points if a player is leaving and you selected the right team. Two points for determining the contract length. Two points if the contestant guesses the contract size (within 5%). An additional 3 points if you got the Bonus correct. A score of 178 (25 players times 7 points + 3 points for the bonus) will be a perfect score.
The contest is locked in on June 30 at 6:00pm EST. Edits are welcome up until that time. If an Edit occurs after that time, that contestant will be disqualified. Free agents can take their time to sign a contract (or in some cases, retire or join a league in China).. and I do not want this to drag on for too long. So the winner, regardless if each free agent has signed on a new contract or not, will be revealed on Juy 30, 2017.
We'll use BasketballInsiders.com as the official site to get each players contract information unless they fail to update their site by July 30th. In that case we'll use (in the following order): An article from NBA.com, an article from the Vertical, or an article from ESPN.
Reward:
This is a sig bet. The losers all have to place the following in their signature from July 31, 2017 until October 1st, 2017:
Nostradamus has nothing on [insert RR Free Agency Challenge winner here]. I cannot believe that I get to post on the same forum as they do. I really am not worthy.
Good luck!
