Ranking the Top 50 NBA Free Agents Heading into 2016 Offseason

If you're an avid fan of NBA[1] free agents being handed large sums of cash, then the 2016 offseason is most definitely for you. Nearly all 30 team will have an excess of financial wiggle room thanks to the impending salary-cap eruption, exponentially increasing the value of the contracts that get doled out.

And we're going to help burn through that extra money.

Soon-to-be free agents earned top-50 status primarily due to their performances this season. Their ceilings down the line, health, age, relationship to Stephen Curry[2], etc. were also all taken under advisement. Those with non-guaranteed deals for 2016-17 were excluded from the rankings.

The provided stats will focus solely on the regular season and seek to contextualize one or more aspects of a player's market value. We are not necessarily advocating in favor of huge paydays. These are just a series of data dives that seek to put a positive spin, however specific, on every top free agent's earning potential.
