The 2012/13 trade deadline is less than two months away, which means it's time to start exploring in earnest which players could be on the move this season. Leading up to the deadline, Hoops Rumors will take an in-depth look at a number of players we consider to be trade candidates. These aren't players who necessarily will be traded by February 21st, but front offices figure to at least listen to offers on these guys, and perhaps even shop them in the coming weeks.
Our Trade Candidate pieces explore why a trade might happen, the likelihood of a deal going down, and potential suitors, along with other relevant details. Last season, we profiled guys who were moved by the deadline, such as Leandro Barbosa and Stephen Jackson, along with plenty more players who were eventually dealt over the summer, including Andre Iguodala, Devin Harris, and Kevin Martin.
