So what are those teams going to do? Let's assume that LeBron stays in Cleveland, or goes to New York. Some teams, as much as they'd like to think they have a chance at one of the above superstars, just don't. But let's be honest: LeBron isn't heading north to Minnesota, and D-Wade isn't trying to take his flash out to Sacramento. But that 'everyone else' is pretty good, and some of the above teams will be significantly better come next November. Now, obviously, this summer is really about LeBron and everyone else. Most sources list 8 teams with enough cap space to go after one of these superstars and offer a maximum contract this summer: Miami, New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Washington, Sacramento, Minnesota and the L.A. Bron Bron, D-Wade, Chris Bosh, Amare, and possibly Kobe will all be up for grabs.
It is no secret that this summer's free agent market is the biggest in NBA history.
