Re: 10 stars are on the block, 5 of them are superstars
Iverson: very difficult to trade, he's interested only in contender teams. But a great player, a great warrior, definitely a superstar. I'd give 30% chance he gets traded this summer.
KG: extremely difficult to trade, due to his monstrous contract. Plus, though he is a superstar, he needs a second star co complement him and You have to give a lot to the Wolves for him. 10% chance.
Marbury: extremely difficult to trade, 'cause he is not a superstar but he thinks he is. I don't see how anyone would want him right now (or ever), apart for very desperat teams (like Wolves). 15% chance.
JO: very difficult to trade: a combination of huge contract and he is really superstar (despite a weaker season) and Pacers are hoping to get a lot in exchange. I don't think he'll be traded, I give ni more than 5%.
Paul Pierce: difficult to trade, but to a lesser extent the the others. A large, but not very long contract + a great season + Celtics don't like him that much. The question is his leadership. Let's say 40%.
K-Mart: very difficult to trade, a huge contract + offcourt issues. Here, however, Nuggest just have to trade him, so IMHO they'll have to accept even a poor offer just to get rid of him. I doubt he'll be a Nugget next season, so despite all this problems: 95%.
Baron Davis: quite difficult to trade, but it's a complex and interesting problem. On one hand a great player, former All-Star, atheltic, nice to watch, energetic ... On the other: he failed to make Warriors a better team + injury prone + large (but not too long) contract. Should Warriors trade him? IMHO yes, they should try. 45%.
Carlos Boozer: quite difficult to trade, but it's also more complex. A great second half of the season, he showed glimpses of All-Star-ish play. But the huge question mark are his injuries. As a Jazz fan I'd keep him for at least one season more. 20%
Steve Francis: extremely difficult to trade, see Stephon. 15%
