Free Agents: 2009 and 2010

Updated: July 6, 2008, 12:30 PM ET

Those who have been observing as the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, New Jersey Nets and New York Knicks, among others, maneuver to create salary cap space have already heard about "the Summer of LeBron." That's 2010, the year that LeBron James can opt out of his contract with the Cavs.

But the offseason of 2010 is not just the Summer of LeBron: It's also the Summer of Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire, Ray Allen, Tyson Chandler, Manu Ginobili, Richard Jefferson, Joe Johnson, Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki and Michael Redd, each of whom can become an unrestricted free agent in 2010.



And in 2009, the list is illustrious, too: Kobe Bryant, Carlos Boozer, Allen Iverson, Ron Artest, Richard Hamilton, Jason Kidd, Shawn Marion, Andre Miller, Lamar Odom and Rasheed Wallace can become unrestricted free agents next year.



And that's not to mention all the restricted free agents, as you can see below.



Of course, not all of these players will reach free agency. But some will, and that's why we're already hearing buzz about the summers of 2009 and 2010.

Take a look and see whom your team could lose ... or which players it might ink in '09 and '10.



Key: ETO = Early Termination Option; P = Player Option; T = Team Option

Definitely, Andrew. I'll keep that in mind.

LBJ, AI, joe Johnson, Rip, T-mac, Wade, RJ, Redd, Amare, Roy, Manu, D-Will, Boozer, CB4! Maybe one of them could be wearing new uniforms by 2010.. Waaaaaa

I hope it isn't Roy!....and it won't be

HAHA! The Blazers would definitely hang on to him.. He's the face of the franchise, and the Blazers are not crazy enough not to retain him.. He would probably get his extension next year.. He is a Restricted FA by then anyway..
