Top 100 NBA Free Agents -- Where Did They Go? What did they Get?

Thanks to cbssports.com for the chart.  I will identify my thoughts by grade.

General thoughts -- a lot of guys who get B's are good but are slightly overpaid.  C's are kinda like I feel "ehhhh, Ok, fine"

D -- that is a bad idea.

F -- inexcusable, simply cannot be explained.

Rondo gets an F+ because while he was wretched last year (absolutely did not try) if you could get him to try he would be a low-level starter, so it may be worth a shot but it is pretty close to inexcusable.
Solomon Hill gets a D minus because it is a really bad idea, but he is not so clearly terrible or unworthy of the money that I could place him with an F.
