Players Who Could Be On The Move

Hanukkah began Friday night, Christmas is two weeks away … and trading
season in the NBA is about to get more bountiful.

Tuesday is the first day on the 2009-10 hoops calendar that more than 70 of
last summer's free agents are eligible to be included in deals.

It's an influx of potential trade assets that naturally increases everyone's
options and historically starts to stir more serious trade discussions, with
teams having a better feel for their rosters after completing a fourth of the
season and with the league's annual trading deadline in February just two
months away.
The full list of 72 players who will soon be trade-eligible can be found
below in Box 8, but we've narrowed it down for starters to the five most
recognizable names most likely to be made available by their new teams.

1. Andre Miller, Portland Trail Blazers

Miller would have occupied the No. 1 slot here even if the Blazers weren't in
the market for a competent big man and/or wing player after losing Nicolas
Batum (shoulder), Travis Outlaw (foot) and now Greg Oden to the second
season-ending knee injury of his young career.

Reason being: Most of general manager Kevin Pritchard's peers around the
league have believed for months that Pritchard only signed Miller -- after
failed free-agent runs at Hedo Turkoglu and Paul Millsap -- to ensure that
Portland at least came away with a tradable asset last summer … which is
projected to be the last summer for a while that Portland has salary-cap
space.

And for all the ongoing skepticism about how the ball-dominating Miller fits
as a backcourt partner with Brandon Roy, there's no doubt that the
33-year-old is movable in the first year of a three-year, $21 million that is
only partially guaranteed in Year 3. Quite movable.

As covered in this cyberspace last week when we surveyed advance scouts about
the opening quarter of the season and again by Professor Hollinger in this
post-injury analysis of the Oden-less Blazers, Miller might actually find it
easier to room to operate in Portland's offense with Oden off the floor and
less of an emphasis on throwing the ball inside. Harsh as that sounds, given
Oden's unquestioned likability and hideous luck, Miller and Roy appeared to
be the main sufferers from the lack of offensive flow that has plagued
Portland this season as Oden's role expanded. If the Blazers open things up a
bit more with Oden sidelined, as Roy envisions, that could really help Miller.

Yet the reality remains that Miller and Roy are an iffy tag team because both
need to see so much of the ball to be effective, which explains why Miller
has only started nine games. There's this, too: While NBA front-office
sources say there is considerable outside interest in young (and mostly
forgotten) Portland guard Jerryd Bayless, Miller's more substantial salary --
$6.7 million to Bayless' $2.1 million -- would probably bring a bigger talent
payoff in a trade.

"They need a Mo Williams-type to play with Brandon Roy," said one rival team
executive in the West. "They need a shooter to play off him."

2.Nate Robinson, New York Knicks

3.Marcin Gortat, Orlando Magic

4.Brandon Bass, Orlando Magic

5.Ramon Sessions, Minnesota Timberwolves
