Top Restricted Free Agents

Now that there is a new CBA in place things have changed slightly. Teams maximum tender for a restricted free agent is a first-round pick now. What this basically means is, you might see more teams attempting to get a top tier free agent with this new rule in place. When you think first round of the draft, you always have to think first round bust, so trading a first round pick for a quality player may be worth the price of drafting a potential bench warmer.
The only thing which will make life hard for those teams looking to get a resticted free agent is the player’s current team will have the right to match any offer he recieves. Teams still looking to get a player away from his current team will have to give up a first-round pick, and be willing to pay that player and the amount that his team will not match.
