Some NBA trade targets are (much) more appealing than others.
We already looked at the players who hold the most auction value. The focus there was on the potential return teams could generate from certain names. But priorities shift to outside suitors when considering the most tempting trade options.
Superstars remain the cream of the crop from this perspective, but they seldom reach the chopping block. Studs like Paul George and John Wall aren't readily available, so they're not as attractive because of what it would take for their respective squads to answer the phone.
Team situations impact player values as well. Terrence Ross is balling and on a bargain-bin contract, but the Toronto Raptors aren't in a position to move someone of consequence without a blockbuster return of their own. That detracts from Ross' curb appeal.
Buyers aren't looking to overhaul their entire roster most of the time. Failing the acquisition of a legitimate All-Star, they want quality talent that won't break the asset bank.
