Every team has a weakness that can be addressed at the 2016 NBA Trade Deadline. The question is, what must every team make sure they hold on to?

The trade deadline is set to expire on Thursday, February 18 at 3 p.m., Eastern Time. With mere hours remaining until the most important date of the 2015-16 NBA regular season, thus far, every team will look to make significant moves in hopes of becoming more viable contenders in the short and long-term.

No matter how good or bad things may be, all 30 teams have players or general assets that cannot be moved.

The word, “Untouchable,” is a difficult one to apply to some organizations. There’s always a trade to be made for virtually every player, but unless it consists of a truly transcendent player, these 30 teams cannot afford to take that risk.

The question is, what is your favorite team’s most untouchable asset leading up to the 2016 NBA Trade Deadline?
