NBA Free-Agency Prediction Contest - RESULTS POSTED

How it works:
I will list a number of NBA free-agents and it is your job to guess where they will sign. You also need to place your choices in order of confidence. You will be awarded 10 points for getting your #1 most-confident player correct, 9 points for #2, and so on.

The Players:

LeBron James
Dwyane Wade
Chris Bosh
Joe Johnson
Dirk Nowitzki
Paul Pierce
Amare Stoudamire
Carlos Boozer
David Lee
Rudy Gay

Please post your guesses in this thread - no PMs please.

Good Luck!

I'm assuming that, in the case of a sign-and-trade, we are listing the team that the player will END UP on?

From what I know, I am very confident in my top 5. Lebron/Bosh I think go to the same place, Booz goes where Bosh doesn't, Lee/Gay are the crapshoots for me.
