The list of players who are (potentially) available is a long one. For each of the top-10 listed above, several others would need to be involved for salary-matching and valuation purposes.

A handful of teams may also attempt to navigate below the NBA’s luxury tax threshold ($187.9 million), seeking the end-of-year distribution to non-tax teams (roughly $11-$14 million apiece), like the Denver Nuggets, Phoenix Suns, Orlando Magic, Toronto Raptors, etc.

The following players (among others) could make the next update of the NBA Trade Block Big Board: Lauri Markkanen, Zion Williamson, Darius Garland, Jarrett Allen, LaMelo Ball, Domantas Sabonis, Klay Thompson, Bennedict Mathurin, Ivica Zubac, Quentin Grimes, Keon Ellis, DeMar DeRozan, Cam Thomas, Ayo Dosunmu, Nikola Vučević, Andrew Wiggins, Collin Sexton, Rui Hachimura, Dennis Schröder, Malik Monk, Daniel Gafford, and Anfernee Simons.
