Rasheed Wallace
Lamar Odom
Elton Brand
Shawn Marion
Gilbert Arenas
Some may opt out, but I doubt it. I think the Clips don't let Elton go unless he demands it.
Rasheed or Odom could really help our young players and add huge front court depth.

R Wallace will definitely be Too old to be a target-though I guess he might work as a 1 or 2 year contract and at way less $ than what he gets now.
I figure LAL trades Odum or re-ups him. Likewise Brand-you'd think would be an asset the Clips won't just lose-if his legs are okay. The Clips are prone to some strange moves though.
Miami ain't a bad place to spend your winters...unless you have to play on a loser. Here-the question may be whether Marion even sticks around that long. Arenas? He's hard to predict except for the fact he's apt to be seeking $20 mill and we won't likely be that far under cap. I tend to think the W's will look more at FA's a notch or two lower on the pay scale and probably younger than most of these guys. If it's gonna cost $18-20 mill per for a guy over 30....might just as well keep Baron.
There are always some interesting names who fit into the slot between MLE and $10 mill.
Between now and then-we will be re-signing Biedrins-Ellis and will do some tinkering with the bench,which if it works can mean some other guys earn deals. Cohen's finances,willingness to spend-are hard to predict. If at that point in time the team is not very competitive-and chooses not to be high bid for Baron-the W's might then be looking a bit further-with Harrington-Jackson expiring next. Let's say Baron bolts and we get a FA who cost's $7 or 8 mill. A year later-Harrington-Jax expire and at that point we COULD have the full cap gap to bid on the best FA at the time.
Next summer--the W's may be a team that improved or backslid over the season and most likely is also looking at a new coach. Deals,the draft,emerging players,by then can tilt our priorities.
