In July of 2010, some of the NBA's biggest names -- LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Amar'e Stoudemire, Yao Ming and Steve Nash, to name a few -- are scheduled to become free agents, available to any team with enough money.

And salary cap room.

Here's a look at the players who could be available as part of the most anticipated -- and hyped -- free agent class in NBA history.

Key:

P = player option
T = team option
ETO = early termination option; player can end his contract outright and become an unrestricted free agent.
