The dominoes have fallen and the curtain for the biggest show in the 2014 NBA free agency has finally fallen with LeBron James coming back home to Cleveland and Carmelo Anthony resigning with the New York Knicks. Many are already looking ahead at the 2014-15 season while others are tuned in on the upcoming FIBA World Cup of Basketball were USA will look to defend its title againts the best basketball teams around the world.

With big stars already settled, there are a handful of free agents left on the market that could provide great value to any team, especially contenders, on a discount. Here is a quick look at the top 3 best values on the 2014 NBA free agent market.

Ray Allen - Fresh off his 39th birthday, the best three point shooter in NBA history is not rushing things. Recent reports and rumors suggest that Allen is contemplating on retiring or joining LeBron James in the Cleveland Cavaliers for another shot at an NBA title. John Dorn of Bleacher Report believes that if Allen does decide to play this season, it would be for the veterans minimum. And considering what he provides to any team - clutch shooting and veteran leadership - Dorn thinks that it will make Allen the best value player, dollar for dollar, in the NBA.

Ramon Sessions - CBS Sports reveals that the Charlotte Hornets and Chicago Bulls were among the teams that had interrest in signing Sessions this summer. He is not a great shooter nor a pure point guard. But as a back-up option who can do a little bit of everything in both ends of the floor, Sessions should prove a great pick up especially if he comes at a bargain.

Andre Blatche - Blatch has had a fair share of issues, both on and off the court, in his career. But amidst the issues, he is still one of the most offensively skilled big men in the league according to International Business Times. He can handle the ball surprisingly well for a big man, can drive to the basket, post up, and shoot the ball in the perimeter. If Blatche takes a pay cut, he could provide solid minutes to any team be it a contender in the coming season.

Emeka Okafor and Jordan Crawford are also among the top free agents who could be considered as great values to any team. These players are still waiting for a franchise that they can call home this summer in the 2014 NBA free agency but any team should be looking on adding these free agents who could provide great value for a discount price.
