Maybe Steve Nash, but that is a team option, and he certainly isn't a long-term solution, which IMO if you are clearing cap space, you are looking long term.

Maybe a Bosh/Wade/Lebron run is in the works. Which is too bad since they could have had either Bosh or Wade originally, but had to pick Darko instead.

Yeah no way Kobe leaves. And Lakers just signed Bynum to 4 years so he's off the list. Same with Artest. I think your list is outdated. Marion isn't realistic with Prince there. Same goes for Odom.

I'm sorry, but landing one of those superstars would be tough enough. There is no way he lands two. Besides, with Oneal there in Toronto now with Bosh who says he goes anywhere?

Lebron won't go. He can take his Cavs as far as he could take that Detroit team. I still think Lebron resigns or we see him in a New York.

I think Wade is 'possible'. Not sure on Bosh, because I'm not sold on O'Neal. Detroit has a good reputation for good fans, and an excellent front office, and on knowing how to win, so I could see Detroit having appeal for guys wanting to win, like Bosh and Wade, or even Lebron. I do think that New York/New Jersey is more likely going to happen IF Lebron leaves.
