The Milwaukee Bucks had a dissappointing year. After trading for Richard Jefferson and having Michael Redd, it looked as if a serious move was going to happen. Andrew Bogut and Redd played for less than half the season. And that made all the difference. This is a crucial time for the Bucks. Keith Bogans and Damon Jones are both free agents. Charlie Vllanueva had a break out year and is a restricted free agent. And, to top things off, Jefferson and Redd both could opt out of their contracts next summer. If things don't go well this year, that could happen. Also, Ramon Sessions was a nice surprise. He is also a restricted free agent.

The Clippers had a horrible year. They were suppose to be more than just a playoff contender. Fred Jones is a free agent and Ricky Davis has a players option. I doubt he will leave. The Clippers have the first overall pick and will take Blake Griffin. A trade could happen and if it does it's likely to involve either Camby, Randolph, or Kaman who all have close to or over 10million on their contracts.

The Hawks continue to improve and will continue to improve providing the resign Mike Bibby. The most important move they can make this summer is to retain the 31 year old point guard. Last year he made 14million and they will have to be close to that to keep him. If someone manages to lure him away, there is no viable option on the team. They have the 19th pick in the draft. However, that won't yield them a player that is ready to step in. There are three other options:

This year the Thunder made some good trades and lots of improvement the second half of the season. The continued growth of Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and Jeff Green will be carried onto next year. One player overlookd was DJ White. He showed some promise at season's end. The Thunder are in great position with the 3rd overall pick and another late first rounder. But, what about free agency?
