As we all know by now, the NBA rumors can get ridiculous at this time or year. Largely driven by uneducated speculation, big names suddenly find themselves on the “trade block” even if there’s no merit to reports.

As I highlighted earlier this week, there are a number of stars who are allegedly being shopped. It’s gotten so ridiculous that players like Klay Thompson and Anthony Davis have been mentioned as being available for the right price. It’s laughable, but that’s what the NBA rumor mill has evolved into.

Well, I’m here to help you get a better idea of who could actually be traded before the 2017 deadline. There’s no speculation here–all players on this list have been mentioned by credible sources as being available now or in the near future.

It’s tough sledding when you’re trying to determine fact from faction. However, with my help, you’ll be much more enlightened in terms of which players are actually available and which ones are just being mentioned as trade candidates to cause commotion.
