TOP FIVE GUYS PLAYING FOR A CONTRACT (excluding Tim Duncan and Grant Hill)...
|
|
Tracy McGrady |
Not that it matters; he'll break the bank no matter what he
does.
|
|
Jalen Rose
|
A big postseason will ensure a big payday, probably from the
Pacers.
|
|
Glen Rice
|
Increasingly likely he'll stay put, but you never know.
|
|
Eddie Jones
|
Magic, Bulls salivating at the possibilities.
|
|
Brian Grant
|
Can opt out of his deal, which would only make sense if he
rebounds from an injury-plagued regular season and dominates postseason like
he did last spring.
