NBA free agency heating up!

July 5, 2012, 5:56 pm

Sekou Smith of NBA.com talks free agents on The Bald Faced Truth with John Canzano. Sekou puts a wide perspective on free agency NBA players that are recently changing contracts. He starts out talking about Steve Nash moving to the Lakers, Smith believes he will be good for the Lakers with his ability to make constant jump shots from all over the court.  With Roy Hibbert possibly moving and the Blazers are gunning for the max offer to Hibbert and The Pacers staying quiet. Smith says that Indiana believes they wouldn’t lose much if it means matching the max offer. Also if Indiana can get a hold of Chris Kaman they would not mind losing a non key player. Sekou thinks that Hibbert has something rare that everybody is looking for as a seven footer with true low post skills, who’s also able to shoot a little bit.

Smith does not see these free agents as fillers for spots on any team; he believes that every player that is up for grabs is well known and sought after by any team willing to pay the right amount. Each GM has a count on these players and will make a quick offer if the right opportunity arises.

The Game's Blazers insider Jason Quick also joined the Bald Faced Truth with the latest developments on Blazers free agent Nic Batum.
