most likely candidates are
James Harden [OKC will have to let him go at some point with Durant and Westbrook both probably receiving maximum contracts]
LaMarcus Aldridge [It's only a matter of time before he requests a trade out of Oregon]
Monta Ellis [Whatever GS has been planning isn't working, he should be on the block]
David Lee [same as above]
Rudy Gay [Memphis can't afford to keep everyone, plus i don't know how long they may remain good]
Marc Gasol [along the lines of Memphis can't really keep everyone]
OJ Mayo [he's most likely to be sent out]
Indiana Can't possibly afford Hibbert, Granger, George, and Hill on the same roster and would have to give up on 1-2 of them
Harden is as near untouchable as an be... OKC wont give up Harden/Ibaka in a Howard deal theres no way hes going somewhere else.
Alrdige has to be in the same boat. Kids an incredible player on a very reasonable contract. Portland wont get good enough value in return for trading aldridge.
Marc Gasol is another player not going anywhere. His numbers for the value he is at is crazy good as well. he might be the best true all around center in the game. Very underratted, Memphis wont be onloading him especially after theyve just locked him up.
If Ellis is available itll cost us Rondo. I dont see any use for Lee or anybody we can trade for him. Gay would be great but would be a high cost for a player who would play at the same position as out best player.
and Mayo ive been one of the few in the slight majority with interest in him but Memphis has just said they arent letting him go anywhere.
Unforutnately none of these will be coming to the Celtics before the end of the week.
