Here’s where the top 20 NBA free-agents will (possibly) end up:

  1. Kawhi Leonard: Retires from NBA and signs 10-year max deal with BioFreeze and becomes top spokesman for the cooling gel. Then Lowry and Siakam beg him, and he un-retires, signs a short-term deal with Raptors, runs it back once or twice before bolting for the Clippers.
Kawhi becomes top spokesman for BioFreeze.

2. Kevin Durant: Retires and starts medical school at UCSF with a focus on the Achilles. Then un-retires and signs with Nets.

3. Kyrie Irving: Starts a podcast called: Kyrie Questions Everything, in which he brings in experts from various scientific fields and poses entirely unrelated questions. Signs with Nets.

4. Jimmy Butler: Sign-and-trade to Houston, Philadelphia gets draft picks from New Orleans; Pelicans receive Clint Capela and Eric Gordon

5. Kemba Walker: Signs with Celtics, replacing Kyrie Irving. Celtics play Tatum and Hayward at power forward and split the center minutes between 2nd year big Robert Williams, rookie Grant Williams, and vet Semi Ojeleye.

6. Klay Thompson: Spends the year rehabbing his knee and walking a pack of dogs around Lake Merritt. Also: signs max deal with Warriors.
