New Home? (Top Free Agents This Year)

Test the Waters. That's what Free Agents do. Let's see the top five testers this year. Will they resign, or find a new home with a struggling franchise?

1. Ron Artest- Age:29 Stats: 17.1 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 3.3 APG

Ron Artest brings a added toughness and ability, that all teams need. The questions with his attitude still linger, although he has clearly taken steps to improve it.

2. Carlos Boozer- Age: 27 Stats: 16.2 PPG, 10.4 RPG, 2.1 APG

Anytime you can pick up Olympian, teams will jump at the opportunity. Boozer will definitely have offers, they might lower than expected though, due to his injury ordeals. In truth, since signing with the Jazz in 04', he has only played in 276 of 410 regular season games.

3. Hedo Turkoglu- Age: 30 Stats: 16.8 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 4.9 APG

After the Magic acquired Vince Carter, Turkoglu immediately made it clear he won't consider being a 3rd or 4th option. He's going to take advantage of his great postseason and get a big time contract.

4. Lamar Odom- Age: 29 Stats: 11.3 PPG, 8.2 RPG, 2.6 APG

Lamar Odom is a slightly worse Hedo Turkoglu, ha, a very good player! Any time would die to have one of these two, 6' 10'' guys that can handle and stretch the defense. Odom sacrificed his stats for a world championship, teams like that unselfish play.

5. Ben Gordon- Age: 26 Stats: 20.7 PPG, 3.5 RPG, 3.4 APG

Ben Gordon, the youngest and best scorer of these five, would be a great pickup for any team. There's just the question of his size and shot selection.

The Next Five-
6. Trevor
Ariza
7. Shawn

8. Rasheed

9. Allen
Iverson
10. Jason
