The 2013/14 trade deadline is still about two and a half months away, but that doesn’t mean it’s too early to start considering which players will 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 20th, but front offices figure to at least listen to offers on these guys, and perhaps even shop them in the coming weeks and months.
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 before the deadline, such as J.J. Redick and Jose Calderon, along with plenty more players who were eventually dealt in the offseason, including Marcin Gortat, Andrea Bargnani, and Jared Dudley.
A complete list of the players we’ve examined so far for the 2013/14 season is below, in alphabetical order. This list, which will be updated many times before February 20th, can be found in our right sidebar under “Hoops Rumors Features.” Be sure to keep checking back and clicking on each player’s name to read our thoughts on his trade candidacy:
