July first marked the beginning of NBA free agency and hardly a sound was heard from NBA teams. The media had their own idea of where they thought the top tier free agents were going. One thing that is known for sure, the road to the 2010 NBA Championship has just gotten a lot more tougher with the Spurs and Magic making trades for essentially nothing. The Eastern Conference has boosted its cache of legitmate contending teams, and the Western Conference just keeps plugging along. More significant changes are in store for teams such as Cleveland, Lakers, Celtics and Detroit to name a few. I will also talk about teams that are still in the conversation to pick up an inpmact free agent or two.
