     This offseason which big name PG will most likely be shipped?

     Could D.J. Augustin be moved as well?

     The whole Kyle Lowery/Goran Dragic situation needs to be resolved in Houston. Both have proven that they are starters in this league but Houston only has enough time for just one. After they decide who will be their starting PG, they’ll need find a solid back up PG who is a willing bench player. 

    Jeremy Lin is another player who could be on the move after saying he’ll weigh his options out. With Steve Nash looking like he may join a contending team, I could see the Suns going all out and try to lure him away from the Knicks. 

    Andre Miller is also another PG who still has a little bit left in the tank. Yes, he’s not the fastest and he may only have a few years left but this guy can help a lot of teams. He’s a great floor general. It’ll be interesting to see how it play out in Denver because I know Coach Karl loves him.

    Deron Williams might ditch the Nets in free agency, despite the move to Brooklyn.

    Jeremy Lin will be an unrestricted free agent and the Knicks have an awful lot of money tied up in Melo, Amare, and Tyson Chandler. The franchise is rich as balls, and the fanbase is ravenous for success, but still… $$$. Harder cap and all that.

    The Celtics were trying to trade Rondo for some unfathomably moronic, short-sighted reason. That could resurface.

    Andre Miller is getting pretty old, but someone will sign him.

    In the fallen-from-grace department, Gilbert Arenas will be looking for a new contract. Who knows if he suddenly get’s his **** together somewhat? It could happen.

    Jameer Nelson has a player option, though I can’t really see the Magic not re-signing him.

    Mo Williams also has a player option, probably looks for a long-term contract. The Clips have Chris Paul, so re-signing Mo probably not a priority.

    Chauncey Billups will probably leave the Clippers in free agency, chase another ring with someone, still has some in the tank.

    Jason Kidd is an unrestricted free agent, but honestly he’s basically 40, so not likely to be a huge deal if the Mavericks don’t re-sign him. Might retire in the offseason anyways.

    And perhaps most significantly for next season, Steve Nash could very well leave the Suns and chase a championship, potentially taking a pay cut to play with either the Heat or the Lakers, both of whom have superstars but lack a truly established star PG. Nash is old, but he could still be close to king-maker with the right signing.

    Last and least, Allen Iverson could come crawling back to the NBA and surprise people.

    Are we talking about point guards being traded or just leaving via free-agency?

    I think Jameer Nelson is another name we could hear coming up in trades.

      I mentioned him but I didn’t think he’d be traded. What are the Magic really likely to get for him that is going to be worth more than Jameer to their remaining competitive in the short-term, in order to convince Howard to stay? Still, crazier moves have been made. And I suppose if the Magic do end up trading Dwight, rather than risk him bailing in free agency leaving them with nothing but cap space, Jameer could be included in that blockbuster.

    Steve Nash will not be a Sun next year.  He will be playing on a contender next year or could possible finish his career in Toronto in his home country.

    The Bulls need a short term solution at PG.  They are saying D. Rose is out 8-12 months.  I don’t think CJ Watson is the answer.  Would not mind seeing Andre Miller fill the void, but not Chicago has the $ to make it happen.

    I really want Nash to be on a contender because he deserves it so much.. But he is really loyal to the Suns so who knows…

    Nash is the big name moving, but Lowry or Dragic could end up as good. Orlando will move Dwight, probably to NJ, so I assume Deron stays…

    And AMG, Lin can’t move. He’s maxed at the mid-level from the Gil Arenas rule.

      Well what do you know. I thought Lin was unrestricted for some reason, but he is restricted. Also, I didn’t really know about that rule.

      Strictly speaking it’s not that he straight up "can’t move", it’s that he can’t move IF the Knicks are willing to pay him the mid-level, which they will be.

    Nash, DWill, Lin, Miller, Lowry, Dragic, Mo Williams, 

    Billups, Hinrich, Nelson, Augustine, Felton, Sessions, Harris, Kidd, could all change teams but most probably won’t.

    Kidd, Nelson, Augustine, Harris are nothing special.
