NEW YORK _ The clock started ticking four years ago, when LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh took short-term deals for the option to become free agents in 2010.
The chase to sign them _ and a whole lot more _ begins at 0400 GMT on Thursday, when teams will find out if their cost-cutting moves paid off and if their franchises can be reshaped overnight.
Perennial All-Stars such as Dirk Nowitzki, Amare Stoudemire and Joe Johnson are also up for grabs.
NBA champions and Olympic gold medalists are in search of something else for their collections: A maximum-salary contract. And teams are positioned at the starting line, just waiting for the race to start.
