NBA Free Agency: Top Small Forwards on the Market

Ah the free small forwards.

One can't mention free agents and small forwards without automatically thinking of The King, of course.

But only one team will acquire him, and while it's hard to believe, there are other small forwards that will make a huge impact on whatever team they join.

LeBron James

Former team: Cleveland Cavaliers
Age: 25
Height: 6'8"
Weight: 260 lbs
College:: Straight to the pros of course!
2010 Stats: PPG: 29.1, RPG: 9.3, FT%: 0.767

There's a reason why they call him The King.

LeBron is arguably the best player in the NBA and the most sought after free agent in the league's history.

Everyone wants LeBron on their team, and the best part? He's only 25 and about to enter the prime of his career.

Predictions: While LeBron has mentioned staying in Cleveland is a possibility, he most likely will pick Miami and join Dwyane Wade to create an unstoppable force. There has also been talks of the New York Knicks being an option.

Mike Miller

Former team: Washington Wizards
Age: 30
Height: 6'8"
Weight: 218 lbs
College: Florida
2010 Stats: PPG: 10.9, RPG: 6.2, FT%: 0.824

Miller has had trouble staying healthy as of late, but makes the most of the opportunities he is given.

Recent rumors say Miller would be a good addition to the Cavs if LeBron re-signs, as he is best off the bench.

Predictions: New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, L.A. Clippers

Travis Outlaw

Former team: L.A. Clippers
Age: 25
Height: 6'9"
Weight: 207 lbs
College None, straight into the pros
2010 Stats: PPG: 9.1, RPG: 3.6, FT%: 0.800

Outlaw came into the 2010 season with huge expectations, but suffered a broken foot in November. Look for Outlaw to get a chance to finally live up to those expectations this coming season.

Predictions: Washington Wizards, Toronto Raptors

Richard Jefferson

Former team: San Antonio Spurs
Age: 30
Height: 6'7"
Weight: 225 lbs
College: Arizona
2010 Stats: PPG: 12.3, RPG: 4.4, FT%: 0.735

Probably the most surprising free agent this year was Jefferson, who opted out of his $15 million contract with the Spurs to see what else was out there.

Jefferson says he felt the Spurs didn't best fit his skills, and that he wants a multi-year contract.

Predictions: Most think Jefferson wants a multi-year contract with the Spurs. He has also said he would love to be with the New York Knicks.

Josh Howard

Former team: Washington Wizards
Age: 30
Height: 6'7"
Weight: 210 lbs
College: Wake Forest
2010 Stats: PPG: 12.7, RPG: 3.6, FT%: 0.750

Howard may be a risky addition to any team.

Legal issues caught up to him in Dallas, and a torn left ACL is what caused the Wizards to forgo picking up his option this year. However, Howard could be a great cheap pick up down the road.

Predictions: There hasn't been much talk about Howard, but it seems as if the Wizards are still showing interest.
