Looking at the 2011 NBA Free AGENT Class it is not by any means the 2010 NBA Free Agent Class.....but with the right fit...there are some pieces in this class.

The Biggest Fish in the POND is CARMELO ANTHONY of the Denver NUGGETS. A few weeks ago he was surefire to go to the NJ NETS but the DEAL was taking to long to transpire and NETS Owner Phrokorov killed the deal by saying just that.

"MELO will have some options as he is an EARLY TERMINATION Contract Player and is due to make next year $18.5 Million. He has already turned down some $20 plus million per for the next 3 years the NUGGETS put on the TABLE last summer. There will be a few suitors for MR. ANTHONY and without a doubt they will be in the EASTERN CONFERENCE.

The BLUEDUDE list by Position of top 4-5 Free AGENTS for the Summer of 2011:
