5. Williams, Mo PG CLE could be traded to TOR

The Cavs definitely want to unload him. Perhaps he gets dealt for Jose Calderon and both can benefit from fresh starts.If Chris Bosh leaves Toronto like we all expect him to, Williams could even approach 20 ppg. It's just a rumor, so don't take it to the bank, but do know that Williams will likely be in a new uniform this season.

4. Stojakovic, Peja SF NO will likely remain in the NBA

There was talk of leaving for Europe, but he has recently mad it sound like he'll stay and take the $14.3 million owed to him for this season. Really, who wouldn't stay for that kind of dough? The big question is whether his health will allow him to be a low-end three point specialist in fantasy leagues or not.

3. Przybilla, Joel C POR will stay with the Blazers

He exercised his $7.4 million player option to stay in Portland. Playing behind Oden and Camby, he'll surely see some good court time when they're injured, so he can be useful in h2h leagues at some point when he's getting the minutes and you need rebounds and blocks.

2. Randolph, Anthony PF GS may be dealt to Minnesota

A move anywhere out of Golden State would help this young, upside forward, but Minny might not be best, with Jefferson, Love, and Milicic already in tow. However, a change of scenery could be just what Randolph needs to begin to realize his potential.

1. Rodriguez, Sergio PG NY signed a contract with Real Madrid

He ended up getting a shot with the Knicks last season, which he parlayed into a nice three-year European deal. Toney Douglas currently sits atop the Knicks depth chart at the point, but they could easily sign, trade for, or draft a new point guard in the coming months. Still, perhaps Douglas will emerge as a consistent fantasy contributor in 2010-11.

ALSO

Chris Wilcox C/F DET exercised his player option to remain with Detroit. He's not likely a fantasy consideration, but if injuries strike and he manages 25 minutes per game for a stretch, he's a potential deep-league C2. He's still only 27 years old... Delonte West PG CLE is likely to be cut in a penny-pinching move. He was actually fantasy-worthy for a week or so last season. If he lands in the right spot, he could have deep-league value again, but he has trouble staying healthy both mentally and physically, so he'd be nothing more than a late-round flyer in a deep league... Hedo Turkoglu SF TOR wants to return to the Kings... Caron Butler F/G wants to return to the Wizards... The Timberwolves are interested in free agent Rudy Gay SF MEM... Brandon Haywood C DAL may have worn out his welcome with the Mavs after a poor end of season and playoffs... It's sounding more and more like Tony Parker PG SA will be moved. That's good news for George Hill... Daequan Cook was apparently hurt all year last year. If healthy again, perhaps he can get back closer to the 2.0 3PM/G from 08-09 in 10-11.
