Free Agents: 2009 & 2010

Those who have been observing the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, New Jersey Nets and New York Knicks, among others, maneuver to create salary-cap space already have 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, which is 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.

How much you wanna bet Dirk takes less money to help get one of these guys signed? I can even see Kidd doing it if he has a nice year and wants to keep playing and stay here. But Dirk, i have no doubt he'll take what is seen as below market value for someone like him.

If the Lakers don't win the title this coming season then I don't see Kobe playing there anymore and I hop he comes to the Mavs to play with Dirk.

Will Dirk stay with the Mavs if we lose?

I cant see Dirk playing anywhere else. I think it would be best if we go after Redd or Johnson.
