NBA Free Agents 2011: Least Desirable Signing Each Team Should Avoid

It's inevitable that teams sometimes make bad decisions. It's the human element of error, and no one is exempted.

That said, aside from the draft, franchises will look into the free-agent market to fill their needs.

Obviously, only a few players will fit the mold for each team.

However, there also are those that simply do not match.

Whether they just don't fit the system, or aren't simply good enough to fill the role, these players should be avoided for that specific team.

Just because one player fits well with Team A does not mean that he will fit well with Team B, etc...

Now, that isn't always the case either, but nonetheless, here are those that are the least desirable for each team.

NOTE: To view an article of free agents that do fit the mold of each team click here. Also, no FA was selected more than once in order to capitalize on all of those available. 

Atlanta Hawks: Shaquille O'Neal, C Boston

The Hawks have solid forwards in Josh Smith and Al Horford.

Their centers are also good, but not complete players like Smith or Horford.

So a center is needed.

That said, Shaq is way too old, and although he'd be a decent role player for them, they're better off looking elsewhere in free agency or the draft since Atlanta already has four centers.

Boston Celtics: Yao Ming, C Houston

The Celtics are in need of a center.

However, they need a fresh man at center as opposed to the injury-prone Yao Ming.

Either in the draft or elsewhere in free agency will suffice, because those injuries have made Ming older than he really is.

Charlotte Bobcats: Josh Howard, SF Washington

Because of injuries the past few seasons, don't be surprised if a lot of teams needing an offensive-oriented SF pass on Josh Howard.

He can be very effective when healthy, but it is a risk nonetheless.

That said, the Bobcats need an SF who can propel their 29th-ranked scoring offense (93.3 ppg).

Not to say that Howard couldn't be that guy, but taking the safer route with a healthier player is the better decision.

Chicago Bulls: J.R. Smith, SG Denver

J.R. Smith's offensive game is very good.

However, if Chicago were to sign him, then it would just replicate what they now have with Kyle Korver.

Coach Tom Thibodeau needs a complete SG, because the Bulls first priority is defense, which coincidentally is not J.R.'s forte.

Cleveland Cavaliers: Tim Duncan, PF/C San Antonio

As much as Cavs' fans would love to see the Big Fundamental in Cleveland, Tim Duncan is just not a good fit.

Cleveland is in a rebuilding process, so signing Duncan, who will be 36 next season, doesn't work.

In addition, it's virtually impossible to picture Timmy not ending his career with San Antonio.

Dallas Mavericks: Samuel Dalembert, C Sacramento

The Mavericks could use another solid center, even if it's just for depth purposes.

The problem is, Samuel Dalembert is used to being a starter in Sacramento, where he's a big fish in a small pond.

In Dallas, he would be far from the spotlight with the likes of Dirk Nowitzki, Tyson Chandler and Jason Kidd.

It may seem like a good fit at first, since Grant Hill is a solid defender on and off the ball.

Combine that with George Karl's fandom of defense, and it's a win-win.

Problem is, the Nuggets already have a solid core group who have top-seed potential next season.

Chances are that Grant would not start, and it's reasonable to believe that that would be troublesome for him.

Detroit is in the need of a standout PG who's had a significant amount of experience in the Association.

Mike Bibby does meet that criteria, but with all the problems going on in the Motor City, a complete overhaul appears more evident.

That said, although Bibby would definitely start and contribute, he's better off elsewhere if he wants a shot at an NBA championship.

Golden State Warriors: Jason Richardson, SG Orlando

If Jason Richardson were to sign with Golden State, he'd battle Monta Ellis for the starting SG position.

Ellis has a lot of potential, and Richardson, although talented, needs to go where offense is a top priority.

Also, it would interfere with the chemistry between Ellis and PG Stephen Curry.

As much as the fan base would love to see Shane Battier back in a Rockets uniform, the organization is clearly headed in a new direction.

Even if Murphy were to switch to SF, there's Mike Dunleavy and Danny Granger.

Kurt Thomas put in a lot of work this past regular season due to Joakim Noah being out for two months.

Now although Thomas did produce, he's going to be 39 this fall, so retirement is sooner than later.

However, the Clippers could use a more experienced center to pair with Blake Griffin, but they first should give their young centers some more opportunities to try and improve.

Jamal Crawford would be a tough fit for the Lakers because he's not used to sharing the rock.

Which is also why they neglected to pursue Carmelo Anthony when he was with the Denver Nuggets.

A big question in Memphis is whether Marc Gasol is the long-term answer as the primary big man.

They could use some depth there, but adding a player like Ronny Turiaf doesn't add that defensive attitude they're looking for.

For starters, New York doesn't really play defense, and it actually matters to Memphis, so no reason to force the issue.

If the Heat want to be NBA finalists and champions for consecutive seasons, adding a dominant big man at center is a must.

That said, they need someone who can keep up with Dwayne Wade and LeBron James as much as possible.

Tony Battie is not that guy.

It's rough in the paint, and only giving roughly 10 minutes per game won't cut it.

Not to mention, he will be 36 next season.

As appealing as a free agent David West is to Milwaukee, they need to look at an offensive juggernaut.

West can give you the points, but with forwards like Carlos Delfino, Corey Maggette, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute and Drew Gooden, the Bucks are basically set.

Now, it does depend on whether they are willing to split with some of those forwards, but don't expect them to look in West's direction.

Rasual Butler is definitely better on the defensive side, and the Timberwolves are in need of a SG.

And, they allowed 107.7 points per game ranking them 30th in the NBA.

However, since Minnesota has two top-20 first-round picks (one being the No. 2 overall), they should take their chances with the draft.

That way, they can mold a player along with Kevin Love from the get-go.

Therefore, anticipate NOLA signing someone else, or scouting the draft to fill the role.

And, if they happen to sign Maurice Evans from Washington, nothing will change.

Delonte West doesn't really fit, because although he can score just as well as, if not better than, Rudy or Wesley, his defense needs some work.

And in Portland, defense is a critical aspect to their philosophy.

If they want to make room for him by not re-signing Maurice Evans or Josh Howard, that's not a bad idea.

The problem then becomes choosing to start Butler over Rashard Lewis.

Why?

Because if you sit Lewis, then there's tens of millions of dollars on the bench not being put to use.
