    Anderson Varejao | Restricted free agent
    The Cavs are in control because he's a restricted free agent and the teams that had significant salary-cap space used it elsewhere. General manager Danny Ferry figures to be able to keep the 6-10 Brazilian, who played a key role in the Cavs' Finals run with his energy, rebounding and willingness to take charges.

    Mickael Pietrus | Restricted free agent
    While Miami is among the teams that has shown interest in the 25-year-old swingman, the San Jose Mercury News reported July 25 that Pietrus is poised to re-sign with the Warriors for one or two years. Pietrus averaged 11.1 points on a career-best 48.8 percent from the field last season, a previously unseen show of offensive teeth for this active defender. Although a scout worried about Pietrus' lack of consistency, he added that ''as Pietrus matures ... he could be a cross between Bruce Bowen and Michael Finley.''

    Chris Webber | Unrestricted free agent
    The 34-year-old, who rejuvenated his career somewhat with the Pistons last season, appears to be in no rush to decide his next move. The Mavs are said to be interested, just as they were when Webber became a free agent in the middle of last season after agreeing to a buyout with the 76ers.

    Andray Blatche | Restricted free agent
    At first glance, there's little remarkable about Blatche's two-year career averages of 3.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.5 blocks. Extrapolate the 20-year-old's numbers over 48 minutes, though, and you have a 6-10 forward who produces 14.5 points, 13.4 rebounds and 2.25 blocks. The Wizards have said they want to keep Blatche, whom some observers compare to a younger Chris Bosh, but re-signing him could put them over the luxury-tax threshold.

    Matt Barnes | Unrestricted free agent
    After bouncing around between four teams over his first three seasons, the 6-7 swingman found a home last year in Golden State, where he shot 36.6 percent from downtown while playing with hustle and energy. But is he a product of Nellie Ball? Barnes might be best served staying in a system in which he flourished.

    Ruben Patterson | Unrestricted free agent
    Patterson is coming off the most productive season of his nine-year career. Granted, those statistics came on a Bucks team desperate for warm bodies, and the swingman's shooting range has always been limited, but Patterson has long been a solid dirty-work sort of player. He might find a winning team willing to take a chance on a player whose legal troubles and sharp tongue have never made him easy to slot into a rotation.

    Charlie Bell | Restricted free agent
    After re-signing point guard Mo Williams and bringing back swingman Desmond Mason, the Bucks have set their sights on retaining Bell, the only Milwaukee player to play every game last season. The 6-3 shooting guard averaged 13.5 points and scored at least 20 points 20 times last season, his second full year in the NBA.


    Sasha Pavlovic | Restricted free agent
    The four-year veteran swingman enjoyed a career year last season, which included an average of 12.7 points on 47.7 percent shooting in his 28 regular-season starts. Pavlovic also demonstrated a willingness to play tough, physical defense at times, quite a change of approach for a player who once claimed his ''offense is his defense.'' Despite his improvement, an Eastern Conference scout warns: ''He seems to just want to blend in, which isn't bad, but over and over I've seen a play in which LeBron [James] would kick the ball to him, and he looked like that was the last thing he wanted to have happen.''

    Earl Boykins | Unrestricted free agent
    The 5-5 guard declined his $3 million option with the Bucks for next season to test the market. A shoot-first, pass-second type, the well-traveled Boykins has crafted a career out of providing an offensive spark off the bench, and he's improved his scoring average each of the last five seasons.


    Ime Udoka | Unrestricted free
    The 29-year-old swingman had appeared in only 12 NBA games before emerging last season to start 75 games for the Trail Blazers. The reigning champion Spurs have made a strong bid to sign Udoka, a defensive stalwart who made 40.6 percent from three-point range with Portland.

    None of those free agents are in the Spurs minds..

    Try Summer League Scrubs for cheap as the most easy way to get players.

    I think so. That whole crowd was star studded. Sitting next to Karl is First Lady Laura Bush. And right behind her is writer/director Kevin Smith. And if you look over on the right side you'll see Brian Dennehy checking out Udoka's ass. Behind him in the orange is a comatose Shawn Bradley. And to the left of Bradley is a family of elves.
