With the additions from the OKC/CAVS/MIL trade we now have 5 players on the roster with expiring contracts PF Wilcox, PF Marshall, PF Joe Smith, C Petro and SG/SF Mason.Expect more deals maybe now and definately at trade deadline.

I agree.... will we get more #1's or trade for an unhappy all Star? or just clear cap space to resign Durrant

New Jersey trades Sean Williams and Eduardo Najera for Collison?

I'm sure Marshall will be traded or bought out very soon. Hopefully we come out with something good!

I'm not expecting any trades unless we're getting some young talent or draft picks in return the smart thing to do would be to just let them expire and build this team through the draft. We already have a young budding star in Durant and two solid young role players in Westbrook and Green if we can surround them with some more young talent we'll have a bright future we need to build this team like Portland has built there's.

Agreed. There is no such thing as a young All-Star available for expirings. Sure they could get someone near the end of their prime but that would compromise any long term plan. My guess is no more than a future 2nd comes out of any expirings getting traded this year.
