NBA free agents are players whose contracts have run out. Unrestricted NBA free agents can sign with any team in the league who offers them a valid contract. Restricted NBA free agents can do so as well, but if they do so with a new team, the previous team has the right to match the contract and keep the player.

Negotiations with NBA free agents start Thursday, July 1, 2010. Actual signings can begin a week later.

On May 21, 2010, Alan Hahn of New York Newsday ranked the top 10 NBA free agents. Here's what he reported:

1. LeBron James - Two-time MVP has been the main target for two years now. Can the Knicks convince him to take on the challenge that awaits?

2. Dwyane Wade - Expected to stay in Miami and even battle Knicks for free-agent big men, but what if LeBron wanted him to come to New York?

3. Dirk Nowitzki - If he really wants to consider options before re-signing with Dallas, Knicks would love to make a pitch.

4. Joe Johnson - Ask any NBA player and he'll say Johnson is a major talent, but is he worth a max contract? Knicks may not be sure.

5. Chris Bosh - All-Star PF would be a great complement to LeBron because he can carry an offense. Could be had in a sign-and-trade with Toronto.

6. Amar'e Stoudemire - Another All-Star big who could be the key to attracting LeBron, but may have his mind on joining Wade in Miami.

7. Rudy Gay - Restricted free agent has intriguing potential as finisher and defender; seems to want out of Memphis.
