Meaningful NBA games only just started up again, and they should be taking up a lion's share of your interest. But you need to know that longing for free-agency talk is perfectly normal.
Because it's never too early for summertime primers.
If you think about it, we have no choice but to discuss the best 2017 free agents at every position. All the rookie-scale extensions that were recently agreed upon force a change in pecking order. We might as well hash it out now.
Players with team options, such as Dirk Nowitzki, are ineligible, since their fate is not their own. Those who hold player and early-termination options will only be considered if they're expected to decline them—Pau Gasol, Greg Monroe and Dwyane Wade are more likely to play out the last year of their deals, so they won't be making an appearance.
