The 2016 NBA Trade Deadline projects to be one of the wildest in NBA history. With the salary cap set to rise meteorically this coming summer, and the 2016 NBA Draft playing home to a number of star-caliber prospects, all 30 teams will consider making a significant move.

A number of teams have already reached the point of debating whether or not to trade their respectiev franchise players.

Not every team will hit the panic button and part ways with players who have played prominent roles for their respective organizations. Most will refrain from making any move whatsoever, and others will pursue deals that can be classified as under-the-radar.

As a number of stars approach free agency, and others simply fail to gel with their current team, borderline contenders will consider anything to make that final leap. One trade can alter the trajectory of a season, and from time to time, that means trading a franchise player.

The question is, which stars could be moved by the 2016 NBA Trade Deadline?
