Complete List of 2017 Free Agents By Team

Space City Scoop offered a list of free agents for 2016 by position. This list looks at the following season (2017) to showcase the horde of free agents who will be available including top tier talent  when the big portion of television advertising money kicks in driving the salary cap through the roof.

Just to demonstrate the flood of free agents who’ll enter the market in 2017, they are listed below by team. Further there are several at the center position which I’ve listed with a bolded C after their name. The reason this becomes a talking point is some teams make be willing to trade this summer for those players especially if they feel the player doesn’t fit their long term plans or may have designs on leaving after next season.

Suffice to say there are many more top tier talents who’ll be available in a year. The problem is every team will have cap space by virtue of the television revenue which is set to hit a high that year. Moreover players like LeBron James who have repeatedly signed 2 year deals with opt outs (though not mentioned on this list) will also take advantage of the new monies to sign previously unheard of contracts.

The series leading up to this article highlighted the free agents by position. Now perhaps it’s understandable why Dwight Howard is wise to take advantage of the potential for a large contract one year sooner. He’ll have less competition then in 2017 and in truth should have many teams vying for his services.

In the coming weeks following the wrap up of the SCS Draft Prospect Series the next major series the writers will tackle is Free Agents.  Specifically the series will look at individuals and dive into which players make sense for the Houston Rockets to target, who might be a logical fit for a low end contract and which major free agents should receive the Rockets priority focus. For now, the above list provides the comprehensive picture.
