Over the past four months, NBA executives have been working the phones and trading players left and right. There are a decent amount of trades every offseason, but this summer was particularly chaotic. Since June, there have been 31 trades involving 96 players. Twenty-nine teams completed at least one trade, ranging from minor swaps to blockbuster deals, with the San Antonio Spurs finishing the summer as the only franchise that didn’t make a move (but not for lack of trying, especially on draft night).

All-Stars such as Dwight Howard, Andrew Bynum, Steve Nash, Andre Iguodala and Joe Johnson were dealt. Notable players like James Harden, Kyle Lowry, Ryan Anderson, Kevin Martin, Arron Afflalo, Mo Williams, Marvin Williams, Darren Collison, Emeka Okafor, Trevor Ariza, Raymond Felton, Lamar Odom, Devin Harris, Ben Gordon, Corey Maggette, Courtney Lee and Jason Richardson changed scenery as well.

Even after such a busy summer, the rumor mill continues to churn. Around the league, there are a number of players who find themselves on the block because they don’t fit into their team’s long-term plan for one reason or another. Some are veterans who are stuck on a rebuilding team, some are impending free agents who will likely be out of their team’s price range and some are starting-caliber players who are redundant because they’re on a deep team that has a logjam at their position.

Here are some players who could be dealt prior to the trade deadline on February 21:
