The Leftovers: Free AGENCY

Okay, so yesterday was Nat'l Cheeseburger day, would've been awesome if I did a post called 'The Leftovers' on a day dedicated to food but I didn't and I'm sorry about that but hey, at least I'm writing.
So more than 75% of free agents have signed, the only players who are still there are old vets and young players who don't know exactly where they are right now. Let's talk about it!
Ray Allen G, 18yrs in league: Ray has had a great NBA career with the Bucks then the Supersonics, Celtics,and Heat, and in every season he was amazing at the 3-point line shooting 40.0% career making 2973 3-pointers. He has been so efficient even at 38 logging 1936 minutes total in Miami last season. The reason he isn't signing is he is wondering if he should retire or not, the Cavs are trying to get him, so lets hope this can be a farewell season to the 10x All-Star.
Aron Baynes F/C, 2yrs in league: This Aussie has become a super role-player for the Spurs being amazing last year in the finals when the Spurs bench destroyed Miami in the NBA Finals. He is 27 right now, but he has been with Gregg Popovich, and if Pop put him out there during the playoffs, or even the FINALS he's not average, he can actually make things happen.
Andray Blatche F/C, 9yrs in league: This big man does work for Brooklyn making fans sleep easy (Beastie Boys reference) and does work in the post. Even though he only started 7 games this season he has been remarkable for an off-the-bench type player with 11.2 points per game, 1 steal and 5 rebounds per game helping the Nets out against big players in the league when Brook Lopez is injured. The reason he hasn't been signed yet is because well, I would take him if I was a coach, on the bench of course, but I guess they aren't offering him enough money with his 1.3 mil he was earning. (EDIT he signed on a team in western China with Jordan Crawford)
James Anderson G/F, 5yrs in league: This guy may be one of the most underrated, under appreciated players in the league and he does it all for the 76ers. Philly has been mediocre for quite a while now, and when Philly nears a light a the end of the tunnel, the fans don't notice. Anderson scores 10 points per game, grabs 3 boards and dishes out 2 assists per game and he keeps getting better. Take a look at his total points in each season of his career: 94 in 2010, 190 in 2011, 308 in 2012, then he jumps to 810 in 2014. You don't just do that overnight, you work for it, the league needs more players like James Anderson.
Eric Bledsoe G, 4yrs in league: Eric is good at scoring(17.7ppg), Eric is good at passing (5.5ast per game), Eric is a decent boarder(4.7reb per game), Eric won't accept the Suns $48mil offer. Eric Bledsoe led a great team in Phoenix to a battle for the playoffs, and decided last year that they wouldn't rig it for Wiggins, that they would play with ferocity and not tank, that's what Eric Bledsoe brings to a team, fighting spirit and a reliability that lasts for seasons and he will do even better in the playoffs I guarantee it. Take the offer Eric.
