I'd note that under contract, Deron Williams and Chris Paul would have bigger value.
Kobe...the biggest contract in the game...is now old enough that I can hardly see a viable trade.
Dirk has good value now,but that will drop off soon. Bogut may be a sleeper,along with Monta.

Love
Rondo

I think a lot of small market teams can hold out hope that Love (RFA) actually stays, unlike with a lot of superstars with shorter contracts.

Hmm .. I think that's a really good point! Because of the CBA, Love right now is going to play for the same team for at least three years (at less cost than most superstars), before he has the leverage to force his way anywhere. They'd probably like his work ethic to improve, and his age as well.

Little shocked Griffin went so early, I guess we're thinking he adds a ton to marketing?

Howard being that high is kind of a joke. I mean ORL is going to be forced to trade him for Brook Lopez and Marshon Brooks because of his contract status.
