http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/feature/feat...afreeagency2006All these free agents, including names like Ben Wallace, Peja Stojackovic, Drew Gooden, Al Harrington, Nene, Jason Terry!Who goes where? What do you guys think about all these people going to free-agency? Who gets signed, and who doesnt ?Let the debate begin!
Jason Terry has the rights to the Mavs next year. Its a big promise he'll sign a new contract with the Mavs.Peja leaves Indiana, I believe he announced he will become a free agent. Big loss for Pacers. They trade Artest for Peja and Peja leaves, lmao.I could see Al Harrington making a move. He has been in trade rumors here and there, so he could resign elce whereImo Ben Wallace stays a Piston
One person I don't see staying is Nene Hillario. It's amazing he's 23, no where near his prime, and is capable of taking over a starters role. Last year's injury was only his first of his career.Where will Nene go to? Atlanta has a large cap space, as do the Charlotte Bobcats and Orlando Magic. But his new home will be New Orleans. They are weak up front, with the likes of Chris Andersen suspended for two years. Nene would be perfect, taking the starting role, and playing with the aging PJ Brown and the up and coming David West. Plus, New Orleans is on the verge of the playoffs, and Nene will probably want to be with a winning team, but with a future. I would want to play with Chris Paul if I were in the NBA.

The Wizards could really use a big man other than haywood Also SunnyD I agree w/ u about Nene, I think he goes to the Hornet's, they're getting better and better with Chris Paul/J.R. Smith on their side.
Ben Wallace isnt coming to DC, he's been here before and we kicked him out 'cause he thought he was trash...look how he is now.
For those who think Ben is leaving I highly doubt it.Detroit gave him a chance to play and prove himself and I don't think he will forget that.Not only that but he won a ring with them, I don't think he will be the type to go out and sign with another team just because they pay him more.

He still always in the spotlight defensively. He would suck on offense on any team. He is likely staying with the Pistons, unless he pulls a Carlos Boozer.
Ben goes nowhere. Peja goes to a team that needs his outside shooting, the Nuggets.Nene to New Orleans.Gooden is resigned.Harrington is a mystery to me, I don't know who will get him, but whoever does is lucky.If the Mavs make it to the Finals, and it looks like they will, Terry resigns as a Maverick.

Ben Wallace back to the Pistons, obviously.I see Mike James going to Houston.Drew Gooden- back to ClevelandJason Terry- MavericksNazr Mohammad- spurs (why would you want to leave that team)Peja- IndianaAl Harrington- I could see the lakers making a proposal to him with their MLE but it probably won't be enough money to get him.
