NBA Free Agency Atlantic Division Primer – The Eastern Powerhouse

With NBA Free Agency Moratorium set to begin this weekend T.I. serves up a primer for each of the 30 teams by division. First up the Atlantic Divison.

Of the six NBA Divisions, the Atlantic enters free agency with the most top tier free agents. This became especially true with the injuries to Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson although the former was presumed to have earmarked this division as landing spot should he leave Golden State.

Of the top tier of free agents, a good majority come from the Atlantic Division: Kawhi Leonard, Kyrie Irving, Jimmy Butler, Marc Gasol, Al Horford, Tobias Harris, and D’Angelo Russell. Even the next level down has players like Danny Green, Marcus Morris, J.J. Redick and DeAndre Jordan in the mix. What the top seven players listed elect to do will shape much of what occurs throughout the Association. In essence, there will be a domino effect based on these decisions.

In fact, with the injuries to the Warriors what the Eastern Conference top talents decide may well shape the rosters of the NBA not just for next season but for the next few seasons.

With that Thunderous Intentions dives into the Atlantic Division with a view to how they hit free agency and this offseason.
