Pe 1 iulie câţiva jucători foarte importanţi vor deveni agenţi liberi în liga profesionistă nord-americană de baschet masculin. Lista este condusă de către fundaşul Deron Williams (foto), unul dintre jucătorii care foarte probabil vor face parte din lotul SUA la Jocurile Olimpice de la Londra. 

El a jucat ultima dată la New Jersey Nets. Deron a anunţat că va negocia doar cu echipa tocmai mutată în Brooklyn respectiv cu cea din oraşul său de baştină, Dallas Mavericks.

Agentul liber (free agent) şi variantele posibile

Un alt jucător curtat va fi Steve Nash. De două ori MVP al sezonului, veteranul canadian a evoluat în ultimii ani pentru Phoenix Suns. De asemenea, Tim Duncan, de la San Antonio Spurs, Jason Kidd, de la Dallas Mavericks, respectiv Kevin Garnett şi Ray Allen, de la Boston Celtics, sunt alţi veterani ce vor semna, mai mult ca sigur, ultimul contract din carieră.

Lista continuă cu Eric Gordon, ultima dată la New Orleans Hornets, Brook Lopez, de la Brooklyn Nets, Roy Hibbert, de la Indiana Pacers. De asemenea, nu trebuie omis Brandon Roy, jucător care va încerca să revină în NBA după ce se părea că va fi forţat să se retragă din cauza problemelor medicale.

Nicolas Batum, Ersan Ilyasova, Omer Asik sau Goran Dragic se numără printre europenii cei mai importanţi aflaţi în postura de agenţi liberi. De asemenea, unul dintre jucătorii care au explodat în cursul sezonului scurtat, Jeremy Lin, de la New York Knicks, este liber de contract. Tot aşa cum şi Jason Terry fost campion NBA, este la final de angajament.

Lista completă a agenţilor liberi, salariul în sezonul 2011/12 respectiv statutul fiecărui jucător în parte (tipul de agent liber) sunt prezentate în cele ce urmează. Jucătorii au fost sortaţi în funcţie de postul pe care evoluează.
