Where will the top 5 free agents go?

1. Dwight Howard, C Howard has been in limbo for over a year now, first with the magic, then with LA.  Hopefully this will end tomorrow at some point.  Howard has many suitors.  The Mavericks, the Hawks, Clippers, Nets, even the Warriors have a tiny chance.  He could even stay with the Lakers.  But, the Mavericks are just too old, the Hawks will not have a star once they lose Josh Smith, the Clippers and Nets don't have enough money, and I would be surprised if he stayed with the Lakers based on how bad of a season he had last year.  I think that he will go to the Rockets.  The Rockets want him more than any other team, and they would immediately be a contender with him.

Cody Zeller, Bobcats, C NBA Comparison- Brook Lopez I think that this is a solid pick for the Bobcats.  They don't need high-upside guys, they need guys who will be NBA starters, and good ones, too.  Zeller is very underrated in my opinion. Grade: B 5. Alex Le...
