With nearly two full weeks to go until the trade deadline, we’ve already seen a spate of blockbuster deals. The addition of Shaquille O’Neal and Pau Gasol to Western Conference powers should only embolden the other top contenders to make moves of their own, making for what could be the most action-packed deadline in years.

What adds to the intrigue is that several of the non-contending teams have players they’d be more than happy to move for the right price — one that normally includes some combination of expiring contract, draft picks, and young talent.

It goes without saying that the Nets and Knicks are two of the teams who fit this description — indeed, nearly every high-price player on both rosters has been mentioned in some kind of trade scenario in the past few weeks.

But outside the tristate area, there are plenty of players available, too. So before a blizzard of personnel moves overwhelms us, let’s handicap the players most likely to have a new address by the end of this month:

ANDRE MILLER, 76ERS: Up until a week ago, Philadelphia was in the catbird seat in free agency because the Sixers were going to have more cap space than any other team. Not anymore — Memphis now has the upper hand, and Miami could become a player too if Shawn Marion opts out of his contract. Unless, that is, Philadelphia can deal Miller for expiring contracts in order to free up more cap space. The veteran point guard has played extremely well and has kept Philly in the playoff race — in fact, his scoring average and shooting percentage are career highs. But he’s 31 and the team is rebuilding, so it makes no sense to keep him around.

MIKE BIBBY, KINGS: Bibby has been the apple of Cleveland’s eye for some time, but his $14 million a year contract has made working out a deal difficult — mainly because the Kings want to stick whomever gets Bibby with the dead weight of Kenny Thomas’s contract (two years left, $16 million). Sacramento’s recent run of competence may also reduce the urge to deal Bibby, as they seem appear closer to playoff relevance than many suspected.

MIKE MILLER, GRIZZLIES: He’s an awesome shooter with a manageable contract (two years left, $19 million), but with the Grizzlies rebuilding and Rudy Gay established as the small forward of the future, it’s questionable whether he’s worth the money for Memphis. Demand is high, because several teams could use a shooter, especially one this versatile and well-rounded. But the Gasol trade gave Memphis all the cap space it can use, so it’s now in a position to be patient. Thus, prying him away will take much more than just expiring contracts.

RON ARTEST, KINGS: He’s a free agent after the season, and there’s no guarantee that he wants to stay in Sacramento. In fact, the New York native played for Isiah in Indy and has made noises about coming to MSG for the mid-level exception, which would be the last step in making the Knicks a full-fledged three-ring circus. Additionally, the Kings probably have misgivings about keeping him and have two productive players (John Salmons and Francisco Garcia) waiting in reserve. The question is whether expiring contracts and a late first-round pick would be enough to persuade Sacramento to deal. Denver has been rumored as a potential destination but may not have enough pieces to complete the sale; Golden State also seems just crazy enough to take a flier.

SAM CASSELL, CLIPPERS: He has Boston on the brain, hoping to join old teammates Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen in pursuit of a title, but that won’t happen unless he and the Clips reach a buyout agreement after the deadline. Don’t count on it — L.A. is looking to use his expiring deal to bring in a draft pick, or combine it with other expiring contracts to bring in a star of their own. Again, the name Denver comes up a lot — Cassell played for George Karl in Milwaukee.

COREY MAGGETTE, CLIPPERS: He can opt out of his deal this summer, and he’s had his differences with their coach, Mike Dunleavy, so you’d have to think the Clippers will try to deal him now and get something in return. His contract is actually a little too friendly — at $7.8 million, L.A. probably needs to combine it with another midsize deal to get back a star-caliber player. Dumping Cuttino Mobley (2 years, $19 million left after this season) would seem the best option, but the expiring deal of Cassell will be what other teams demand.

JERMAINE O’NEAL AND JAMAAL TINSLEY, PACERS: The Pacers have been trying to get rid of Tinsley for years and haven’t been successful. Indiana’s latest hope was to package Tinsley and O’Neal together, but O’Neal’s recent knee injury and $20-million-a-year contract has caused demand for his services to shrivel. If you’re curious, a Jason Kidd and Stromile Swift deal for Tinsley and O’Neal works under the cap (it would have to be structured as two separate deals because of restrictions on including Swift in a package), which has to at least make Rod Thorn go “Hmmmm …” . If healthy, a Tinsley-Carter-Jefferson-Boone-O’Neal lineup looks pretty solid for New Jersey, and all but Carter are on the good side of 30. Of course, that lineup would only be healthy about one day in 10, which is why the Nets are likely to say nyet.

TYRUS THOMAS, BULLS: The Bulls obviously need to reshuffle the deck, and he’s an alluring, yet nonessential, young player that can sweeten almost any trade package. The idea would be to package his deal with a deadweight contract (hello, Ben Wallace) to get somebody moderately good, or pair it with Kirk Hinrich or Andres Nocioni to get a truly excellent player. Easier said than done, obviously, which is why he’ll probably finish the year a Bull, but expect his name to come up a lot over the next fortnight.

WALLY SZCZERBIAK, SONICS: He’s twiddling his thumbs in the Northwest while the rebuilding Sonics look to develop Kevin Durant and Jeff Green, but he’s quietly had a very solid year. While money matters will scare some suitors (he’s owed $13 million next year), few can stroke it better, and the deal expires next summer. In particular, he’d sure look good in a Cleveland uniform with LeBron setting up jumpers for him, and a deal for Eric Snow, Ira Newble, and a first-round pick works under the cap.

RICKY DAVIS, HEAT, AND KURT THOMAS, SONICS: These two are veterans stuck on teams going nowhere, with Thomas the more coveted of the two because of his knack for post defense. But they’re harder for teams to acquire because they already have expiring contracts. Teams will need to throw in a draft choice or a desirable young player to pry them loose, which probably makes the asking price too high for most.
