Trade Targets: Stars on the move?

The NBA's Feb. 18 trade deadline is only hours away. Here's a look at some of the top trade targets:


Dwight Howard, Rockets

Position: C | Age: 30

The Rockets are a mess. And with Dwight Howard able to hit the free-agent market this summer, Houston's best move could be trading its center.


Kevin Love, Cavaliers

Will the Cavaliers stand pat with a Big Three of Kevin Love, Kyrie Irving and LeBron James, or will Cleveland deal its big man at the deadline?

Position: PF | Age: 27


Blake Griffin, Clippers

Position: PF | Age: 26

Doc Rivers and the Clippers are adamant they have no plans to trade Blake Griffin. But is the door really closed?


Carmelo Anthony, Knicks

Position: SF | Age: 31

Carmelo Anthony is unlikely to waive his no-trade clause with the Knicks, but what if the right team came calling? And with Porzingis Fever sweeping the Big Apple, moving their franchise star could be a good step in New York's rebuild process.


Hassan Whiteside, Heat

Hassan Whiteside has been quite the find for the Heat over the past two seasons, but with free agency looming and character concerns present, Miami may have no choice but to send its center out of town.

Position: C | Age: 26


Jeff Teague, Hawks

With talk surrounding Atlanta of the Hawks breaking up their core of Teague, Al Horford, Paul Millsap and Kyle Korver, it's the point guard who has gotten the most interest. Teague can become an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Position: PG | Age: 27


Pau Gasol, Bulls

With Pau Gasol likely to opt for free agency this summer, the All-Star Spaniard could make for a good bargain as a rental player for a team looking to make a deep playoff run.

Position: PF | Age: 35
