Dwyane Wade – Stay - Justise Winslow fell into the Miami Heat's lap with the 10th overall pick in the NBA Draft last week. That and small forward Luol Deng just opted in for the 2015-16 season. This should give Dwyane Wade extra incentive to stay in the 305. The three-time champion will also make more money in Miami than he would anywhere else.(Photo: Jason Miller/Getty Images)

Kevin Love – Stay - Yes, a return back to his home state of California via signing with the Los Angeles Lakers would be appealing. Returning to Oregon, where he grew up, via signing with the Portland Trail Blazers would be intriguing as well. But Kevin Love came to the Cleveland Cavaliers to play alongside LeBron James and win the NBA title. It was rocky at times this past season, but if Love was healthy during the postseason, the Cavs just might have won it all. Love should stay in the Land. His job isn't done yet.(Photo: Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)

Rajon Rondo – Go - After being traded from the Boston Celtics to the Dallas Mavericks this past December, Rajon Rondo struggled to find his footing. A blowout argument with Mavs coach Rick Carslisle on the bench didn't help his cause much, either. It's time for Rondo to hit reset and get a fresh start...not to mention, as much money as he can get. Who's interested?(Photo: Stephen Dunn/Getty Images)

Paul Millsap – Stay - This one is a no-brainer. Of course, Paul Millsap should stay with the Atlanta Hawks. The power forward was one of four Hawks to make it to the All-Star Game and the team did get to the Eastern Conference Finals. Millsap should definitely re-up and try to take the Hawks one step further. (Photo: Jason Miller/Getty Images)

Greg Monroe – Go - At only 25, Detroit Pistons power forward Greg Monroe is coming off a 2014-15 season, in which he averaged 15.9 points and 10.2 boards per game. Gotta sell when your stock is high. It's time for Monroe to roll the dice with another team and cash in.(Photo: Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)

LaMarcus Aldridge – Go - LaMarcus Aldridge once again put up solid numbers for the Portland Trail Blazers to the tune of 23.4 points and 10.2 rebounds per game. But after his ninth year in Portland, we just think his tenure with the Blazers has worn its course and it's time for a change. Then again...we say that and it's not us that would be leaving the $30 million extra — that only Portland can offer him — on the table.(Photo:Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)

Josh Smith – Stay - After struggling at times during the regular season, Josh Smith had some nice moments in the playoffs for the Houston Rockets. They're clearly trying to build toward a championship and Smith should try to stick around in H-Town to be part of the process. (Photo: Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)

DeAndre Jordan – Go - This is a tough one. On one hand, staying with the Los Angeles Clippers will allow DeAndre Jordan to continue looking great, catching lobs from Chris Paul. On the other hand, if the Clippers in any way, shape or form try to undercut DJ's value to keep him, he should bolt and get that big contract. Having delivered an 11.5-point, 15-rebound per game season, Jordan's stock is soaring. (Photo: Harry How/Getty Images)

Marc Gasol – Stay - You've got to realize when you have a good thing going...and Marc Gasol definitely has that in Memphis. Not only does he have the luxury of playing next to another legit big man, who can rebound and has a nice shooting touch — in Zach Randolph — but the Grizzlies are also a flat-out solid team. He's got to stay!  (Photo: Andy Lyons/Getty Images)
