At dahil matatapos na ang 2002 season, siguradong kabi-kabilaan na naman ang pakikipagnegosasyon ng mga team sa mga players na ito.
Pinanangungunahan ni Jeffrey Cariaso ng Coca-Cola Tigers ang listahan ng mga expiries at inaasahang tataas ang presyo nito matapos tanghaling Best Player of the Conference ng Selecta All Filipino Cup.
Bukod kay Cariaso, mag-eexpire din ang kontrata nina Estong Ballesteros, Ato Morano, Rafy Reavis, Chris Bolado, Jay Misolas at Jovy Sese.
