It's easy to get caught up in trade rumors concerning some of the NBA's more recognizable names. That's certainly been the case through the first half of the 2014-15 season.
Rajon Rondo, Josh Smith, J.R. Smith, Dion Waiters and Jeff Green have already changed teams. Brook Lopez and Lance Stephenson have been bandied about in the league's gossip columns of late and could be joined by other impact players in that regard before the Feb. 19 trade deadline comes and goes.
But the scuttle that drips from front-office phone lines to the front pages of sports websites makes up a mere fraction of the transaction conversations, serious and otherwise, that take place behind closed doors. Likewise, for every player moved and deal consummated, there are scores of others that don't and aren't, respectively.
And then there are those players who, given their current circumstances, seem ripe for the plucking. Think of those guys who've seen their roles shrink on account of competition at their positions but who are still valuable commodities on the market. Think, also, of those whose talents are going to waste on terrible teams and whose services could fetch a decent return.
Chances are, you'll come up with a list that features these players in some form or fashion.
