    Rumors are starting to pop up on teams who will be in for some serious roster moves in the off-season. A combination of disappointing performances, a deep draft, and the talent rich free agent pool will lead to a lot of changes this season. Which team will have the biggest shake up?
    And what do you see the team doing?

    The biggest shake up will take place on the Spurs in my opinion. Here is a shake down of their team changes -

    Staying Players -
    PF - Malik Rose
    SF - Bruce Bowen
    SG - Emanuel Ginobili
    PG - Tony Parker

    Free Agents -
    C - Mengke Bateer (Unlikely to be resigned)
    PG - Speedy Claxton (Possibly resigned)
    C/PF - Tim Duncan (Likely to be resigned)
    SF - Stephen Jackson (Likely to be resigned)
    SF - Danny Ferry (Possibly resigned)

    Likely Retiring -
    PG - Steve Kerr
    SG - Steve Smith
    C - Kevin Willis
    C - David Robinson

    This was their old lineup was -
    C - David Robinson/Mengke Bateer/Kevin Willis
    PF - Tim Duncan/Malik Rose
    SF - Bruce Bown/Stephen Jackson/Danny Ferry
    SG - Emanuel Ginobili/Steve Smith
    PG - Tony Parker/Speedy Claxton/Steve Kerr

    Their new lineup will look like -
    C - Tim Duncan
    PF - Malik Rose
    SF - Bruce Bowen/Stephen Jackson
    SG - Emanuel Ginobili
    PG - Tony Parker

    The Spurs will then look to sign Jason Kidd. If they don't get him then they will likely sign players like Jermaine O'Neal or Elton Brand. Then the Spurs have the 28th pick in the draft. If they end up signing Kidd then they will probably trade Tony Parker. They will have a busy offseason. Almost their whole team goes out for Free Agency.

    its gonna be either portland or the pacers.

    i think houstons going to make a few moves as well. mobley is maybe out, or moved to the bench and stevie will move to the 2, and a veteran point might be brought in. rices contract is in its last year, so it will be moved. also a coaching change is very possible.
