NBA FREE AGENCY: The Top Players Still Left Unsigned

Kevin Love and Draymond Green stay with their teams for a boatload of money. LaMarcus Aldridge and Robin Lopez don't even consider staying in Portland. Jimmy Butler gets a max contract to stay in Chicago while Deandre Jordan gets a max contract to move to Dallas. Dwayne Wade gets 20 million to stay in Miami, Greg Monroe gets 50 million over three years to move to Milwaukee.

NBA FREE AGENCY: Let The Frenzy Begin

It's almost time for the madness called the NBA free agency period. This year's edition promises to be an exciting one, as several marquee players are set to hit free agency. That being said, here are some things to keep in mind over the next couple of days.

THE SURPRISES
LaMarcus Aldridge being so determined to leave the Blazers - One of the truly surprising developments leading up to the free agency period was the decision of Aldridge to leave the Blazers, no matter what. He isn't even  giving them a chance to make an offer first. He just moved on to setting up talks with new teams. My guess is Aldridge did not like the perception that the Blazers are  Lillard's team, so he's out there looking for a team to be "his". And this is a team that made strong playoff runs the last two years, with Aldridge loggin in back to back 40 point games last year against a strong Rockets team.

Greg Monroe unwanted by the Pistons - Really? A young, strong, skilled center who averaged 15.9 points and 10.2 rebounds is someone the Pistons doesn't want? Either they know something I don't (which is extremely possible) or Stan Van Gundy has lost his mind. If he really is a misfit int he system Van Gundy wants to install, then do a sign and trade, get a good stretch four like Ryan Anderson for him. If they just let Monroe walk away and sign with (heaven forbid) the New York Knicks, the Pistons will be kicking themselves all season long, especially after Melo and Monroe kick the Pistons' butts over and over again.

The Business of Disrespect: The Melo-JLin Number Situation

The Houston Rockets had the opportunity to make a pitch to Carmelo Anthony, one of the most sought-after free agents this year. So naturally, they wanted Melo to visualize how he'd look like in a Rockets #7 uniform.
