Perhaps the best way to consider current NBA rosters is to list those players who are not about to be traded, according to some general manager, front-office lackey, published report, Internet message board or hot dog vendor in Section 228 of your local arena.

Already this season, we've seen five trades involving 18 players, from Jalen Rose and Ricky Davis to Rick Brunson and Brevin Knight. But it won't end there, for a variety of reasons. One team, the Trail Blazers, has a mandate for change that comes from the organization's brass. Another, the Hawks, is prepping for an old-fashioned fire sale.

Some teams have a general managers -- Glen Grunwald of the Raptors for instance -- who sense an opportunity to take advantage of the watered-down Eastern Conference and firm up their shaky job status by transacting their teams into the postseason.

After discussing the situation with several front-office types, Sean Deveny of the Indianapolis Star breaks down the 10 most likely members of the NBA's most likely to be traded club, which includes Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Theo Ratliff and Jason Terry of the Hawks, Kurt Thomas of the Knicks, Jamaal Tinsley of the Pacers, Zydrunas Ilgauskas of the Cavaliers, Marcus Fizer of the Bulls, Lamond Murray of the Raptors, newly acquired Antawn Jamieson of the Mavericks and Rodney White of the Nuggets.
