I was thinking about how similar this season has been to last season with extremely fast starts, lots of wins, a KG injury, and the adding of a PG and a big man who were bought out of their contracts after the trading deadline. And then I thought that this seems to be becoming a good way to add to teams and I think it will probably continue as teams try to find ways to save money. Teams that are out of true title contending next season could be buying out high priced talent left and right in an attempt to save even the smallest amount of money.

So who looks like a good bet to be bought out and who might Danny be interested in adding next year for the stretch run to another title? Will he leave a space or two empty in hopes of acquiring someone later in the season the way he has with Brown, Cassell, Marbury, and Moore?

Here's a list of the players that will be unrestricted in the summer of 2010:

Speedy Claxton
Maurice Evans (P)
Joe Johnson
Randolph Morris
Ray Allen
Tony Allen
Paul Pierce (ETO)
Brian Scalabrine
Raja Bell
Nazr Mohammed (ETO)
Vladimir Radmanovic (ETO)
Brad Miller
Anthony Roberson
John Salmons (ETO)
Tim Thomas
LeBron James (P)
Sasha Pavlovic
Ben Wallace
J.J. Barea (T)
Josh Howard (T)
Dirk Nowitzki (ETO)
Jerry Stackhouse
Antoine Wright
Kenyon Martin (ETO)
Amir Johnson
Kelenna Azubuike (P)
Brent Barry
Chuck Hayes (T)
Tracy McGrady
Yao Ming (ETO)
T.J. Ford (P)
Marcus Camby
Derek Fisher
D.J. Mbenga
Josh Powell
Greg Buckner (P)
Darko Milicic
Udonis Haslem
Dwyane Wade (P)
Dorell Wright
Richard Jefferson (ETO)
Michael Redd (ETO)
Luke Ridnour
Mike Miller
Brian Cardinal
Mark Madsen
Craig Smith
Sebastian Telfair (P)
Bobby Simmons
Rasual Butler
Tyson Chandler (ETO)
Antonio Daniels
Peja Stojakovic (ETO)
Chris Duhon
Larry Hughes
Jared Jeffries (ETO)
Chucky Atkins
Earl Watson
Rafer Alston
Tony Battie
Willie Green (ETO)
Steve Nash
Shaquille O'Neal
Amare Stoudemire (ETO)
Steve Blake
Travis Outlaw
Joel Przybilla (ETO)
Kenny Thomas
Matt Bonner
Bruce Bowen
Manu Ginobili
Roger Mason
Fabricio Oberto
Kurt Thomas
Chris Bosh (P)
Kris Humphries (P)
Jason Kapono (P)
Patrick O'Bryant
Matt Harpring
Brendan Haywood
Darius Songaila (ETO)
DeShawn Stevenson (P)

Now, I think we can eliminate all Player Option and ETO players as their contracts are still actually longer and worth more than just a couple of months. Also all players from contending teams probably can be eliminated. So, outof the rest, who would you like to be bought out and added next year?
