This is the top 10 players that could be finding new homes next session,and also I will predict what team they will play good with (without considering cap space).

This offseason, teams will be making moves to keep their franchise player, make their team better, or just get new players. Please leave a comment.

Sorry about the stats.

Shawn Marion

Shawn Marion just doesn't fit in the Raptors' system. He doesn't play well with Calderon, Bargnani, and Bosh. He would play better else were.
PPG-12.9, RPG-8.5, BPG-1
Best team for him: Utah Jazz—Shawn Marion will be able to get more playing time and will work good with the team.

Amare Stoudemire

Phoenix looked to trade him all of last session. The Suns need to go into rebuilding mode and get some young players to excel in the West.
PPG 21.4, RPG 8.1, BPG 1.1

Best team for him: Toronto Raptors—If Bosh leaves, then Amare would be a great replacement for him.

Tracy McGrady

The Houston Rockets don't need him any more,if you can take the Los Angeles Lakers to a game seven, then you are a pretty good team.
PPG 15.6, APG 5, 3Pt% .376

Best team for him: Miami Heat—If T-Mac plays beside D-Wade then that will make the Heat a dangerous team. This increases the chance of T-Mac getting out of the first round and/or winning a championship, and will make D-Wade sign a contract extension.

Dirk Nowitski

Dirk in an interview after being eliminated from the Denver Nuggets said, "I only have a few more good years and I need a ring," hinting at the possibly he wants to get traded.
PPG 25.9, RPG 8.4, BPG 0.8

Best team for him: Cleveland Cavs—The Cavs have enough players to trade for Dirk like Wally Szcerbiak, Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Delonte West. That will for sure make LeBron want to stay.

Carlos Boozer

Boozer expressed his interest in being traded all of last session. The Utah Jazz could get some young players on the team for Boozer.
PPG 16.2, RPG 10.4, BPG 0.2

Best team for him: Chicago Bulls—He will get more playing time and will be dangerous with Rose, and Utah can get young players from the Bulls.

Vince carter

The Nets have been in talks of trading Vince Carter all of last season, as Carter is no more their franchise player (Devin Harris has taken over the thrown).
PPG 20.8, APG 4.7, 3Pt% .385
Best team for him: San Antonio Spurs—The Spurs have been the most interested team in acquiring Vince Carter.

Chris Bosh

If the Toronto Raptors don't make a big move then Bosh is destined to leave, leaving the Raptors with noting.
PPG 22.7, RPG 10, BPG 1
Best team for him: Detroit Pistons—Rumors have it that Detroit traded Billups to get ready for Bosh, and when the Pistons release Allen Iverson then they will have a lot of money for another star.

Steve Nash

The Phoenix Suns have been in talks of trading Steve Nash while he still has value.
PPG 15.7, APG 9.7, SPG 0.7

Best NBA team: Toronto Raptors—Not because I am a huge fan of the Raptors, only because in an interview he said, "I've enjoyed my success in Phoenix and would love to stay here, but if not Phoenix, playing in Toronto would be a dream come true in many ways"
