With the NBA season nearing its midpoint, many teams are figuring out what kind of roster changes they need to make in order to stay in the playoff race.
The trade deadline is March 15, so GMs looking to bolster their rosters with role players or even a franchise-altering star have about a month to negotiate.
Twenty of the league's 30 franchises are realistically in the playoff mix.
Translation: there will be a lot of trade talk over the next few weeks.
The Phoenix Suns have said, repeatedly, that if Steve Nash requests a trade they will grant his wishes. With Phoenix going nowhere fast, Nash could join one of a slew of contenders in need of an upgrade at point guard, i.e. Lakers, Jazz, Hawks, or Magic (if they don't trade Dwight Howard).
Chris Kaman already sat out a number of games while his new team, New Orleans Hornets, looked for trading partners. He'll be dealt, the only question is where? Indiana and Boston look like his two likeliest destinations.
Devin Harris is having an extremely disappointing season in Utah. With so many teams looking for point guards, however, expect quite a few to hope Harris can return to form. He also comes fairly cheap (about $13 million left on his deal through next season).
