Odds for where every top NBA free agent lands
The biggest free agent class in recent history officially opened for business on Sunday, the day teams and players can verbally commit to new deals.
Right out of the gates, some of the biggest names agreed to deals in the opening hours. Paul George re-signed in Oklahoma City with a max deal, Chris Paul got big money to stay in Houston and Kevin Durant, to nobody's surprise, remained in Golden State on a two-year deal.

But all eyes remain on LeBron James, who has opted out of his deal with Cleveland and could now find a new home this offseason.
He was seen flying into Los Angeles as free agency was set to begin. Is that an indication that the Lakers are the team to beat, or just a routine return home to his L.A. home to weigh his options?
One sportsbook gave the Lakers odds as high as -5000 to sign James (bet $5,000 to win $100), and while most others aren't going nearly that high, there's no question that L.A. is the team to watch if LeBron bolts from Cleveland.
With a James-George combo in L.A. off the table, attention also shifts to DeMarcus Cousins, who is reportedly going to meet with New Orleans and Los Angeles.
Kawhi Leonard, the subject of plenty of trade rumors this offseason, could come into play with Los Angeles or other possible LeBron James destinations as well.
