Going ... going ... gonzi?

Paul Pierce of the Celtics isn't the only big-time guy in the playoffs who could find himself playing elsewhere next season (see page 51). This might be your last chance to catch these players with their current teams ... unless, of course, their teams already have been eliminated.

Michael Finley, Mavericks. Dallas jettisoned Steve Nash when it appeared age might catch up to him, and the Mavs could do the same with Finley. He's 32, has lost a step and is coming off his least productive season as a Maverick. Plus, Dallas has talented young wingmen Josh Howard and Marquis Daniels--as well as Jerry Stackhouse--behind Finley. It's a good time for a trade.

Bonzi Wells, Grizzlies. Wells has butted heads with coach Mike Fratello and didn't even suit up for Game 4 of the playoffs. Because Wells will be a free agent next summer and because Fratello surely will be back, you can be sure Bonzi will be gonzi.

Andre Miller, Nuggets. He had problems sharing the ball early in George Karl's reign, leading many to believe the Nuggets would deal Miller over the summer in hopes of getting a more passing-oriented point man who is better suited to run the fast break. Miller turned around his performance over the last six weeks of the season, though, and getting back into Karl's good graces has hushed the trade talk.--Sean Deveney
