The NBA Trade Deadline is just a few short weeks away. The trade market has been relatively quiet in recent days, but it’s only a matter of time before it sparks up once more.

There’s a large number of high-caliber shooters that will be available to buyers on the trade market and those players should be in demand. But what about big men who will be moved at the deadline?

Teams have already started the process of revealing who is available. One name is Andre Drummond, who the Cleveland Cavaliers are benching until they can find a suitable trade partner for the center.

Big men are in demand at the NBA trade deadline

Another one is Blake Griffin. Well, he was a trade candidate before agreeing to a buyout with the Detroit Pistons on Friday, allowing him to sign where he pleases, aka the Brooklyn Nets. That takes one name off of the trade market and may also remove one buyer, at least one seeking a big man in the coming days and weeks.

Still, there will be plenty of big men available. The All-Star break is when general managers take (extra) stock of their team and figure out how they want to move forward. A flurry of moves could be coming after the game is played.

The NBA Trade Deadline is on March 25. By the time the dust settles that evening, the landscape of the league could be very different.

Which big men will be on the move before then? Here are five big men trade targets, as well as the teams that may be on the hunt for them.
