The you look at the Free Agent class for the coming year and you see very few players that will move the dial for some of these bad teams. RFA's are rarely lost to the teams that currently have them, a lot of the older UFA's arent going anywhere and there are virtually no other impact players available on the open market.
Carmelo Anthony isnt going to bad team
Lebron isnt going to a bad team
Dirk isnt going to a bad team
Evan Turner hardly made an impact on a terrible team where he had pretty much a free hand
Gordon Hayward is likely to resign in Utah but isnt a star player by any means
Deng is a nice player but he hasnt exactly lit the world up in Cleveland and the Bulls havent missed a beat without him
Greg Monroe might be available in a sign and trade but he is more of a nice player than a star
Bosh isnt going anywhere unless Miami has some sort of other plan in mind. Even then he'd likely go to Dallas which is a team that is trying
Bledsoe is a lock to stay in PHX
Wade isnt going anywhere
Pau Gasol is a good player but is slipping and probably doesnt want to go to a rebuilding team
Lance Stevenson is most likely staying in Indy and isnt a great fit on a bad team
Kyle Lowery is a good player but isnt making anyone 10 games better
Shawn Marion and Paul Pierce have forks ready
Spencer Hawes?
Rodney Stuckey?
Gortat is going to stay in Wash
Granger is a shell
Chalmers and Ray Allen are probably staying and arent stars
Nick Young? Trevor Ariza?

What do you think about Z-Bo? Do you think he stays with Memphis or decides to move on?
