While plenty of low-end bench players may be switching teams this summer, here is a look at the10 most notable NBA players who are likely to move.

For NBA fans hoping to see a wild summer of free agency, you’ll probably be hoping to see names like Kevin Durant appear on this list. Possibly even LeBron James if you want things to get really crazy. But those scenarios are just not realistic right now, not even in the case of Durant, whose impending free agency has been one of the most talked about topics in the league for some time.

Those theories and sizzling hot takes can be saved for another time. Once the fate of each top contender has been sealed in the playoffs, more light and context will be shed on Durant’s situation.

In the meantime, there are plenty of other interesting players to consider in free agency.

Pau Gasol has one more chance to get a big contract and look for a new contender for the end of his career, while Harrison Barnes has the opportunity to unleash his talent with a bigger role, flood his bank account and emerge as a top scoring option for a new team. Even though they may not have everyone in the basketball world focusing on their every rumor, plenty of notable players could be on the move this summer.

So, in no particular order, let’s take a look at 10 players who may highlight a potentially wild 2016 free agency class.
