Free agent pool full of impact players By JEREMY SHORTPress Sports Editor Immediately, the first team that stands out as a great fit would be the Knicks where Kidd could run Mike D’Antoni’s fast-paced attack.
The only problem is that New York is not likely to pay even close to the $21 million Kidd got paid last season. Another free agent who could become a solid addition to a team is Rasheed Wallace. Wallace probably needs to land on a veteran team where he does not have to be the primary focus. Atlanta, Dallas and San Antonio are listed as early suitors for Wallace. The Spurs, if they don’t acquire Odom or another marquee big man, look like the best fit. With Wallace’s history of emotional outbursts, Coach Greg Popovich and the veteran Spurs would be a calming influence on him. Plus, if he does get out on control, the Spurs would not feel inclined to keep Wallace with players like Duncan, Richard Jefferson and Tony Parker already in place. Although free agency is a crazy and hectic time of year, it is exciting to see some of the biggest names in the sport changing teams. It keeps things interesting from year-to-year. It also keeps the teams that are willing to spend money evenly distributed with talent and prevents teams from becoming juggernauts.
