NBA's Top Potential 2011 Free Agents
Carmelo Anthony, Nuggets
Unrestricted ($18.5M player option for '11-12)
The 2010 free-agent class was the most celebrated in NBA history. How is the '11 group shaping up? Here is a look at the top potential free agents, with two caveats: Some players might sign new deals with their teams before even getting to the market next summer; and a potential lockout would put free agency on ice.
With that said, Carmelo Anthony could be the prize of the '11 class. The Nuggets have offered Anthony a three-year, $65 million extension that he's yet to accept. There's no urgency for Denver's franchise player to sign, unless he wants to lock in a long-term deal now with a lockout looming next year.
