With the NBA’s trade deadline fast approaching on February 18, the rumor mill is again exploding with all kinds of trade rumors. Some teams are looking for extra talent to get over the hump and compete with elite teams like the Golden State Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs while others are stacking assets for a run next season. Some deadlines are full of blockbuster trades while others barely register a whisper.  Here are some of the teams that are rumored to be looking to move some assets before the deadline:

1) Boston Celtics—Since the era of Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, the Celtics have smartly loaded up on assets and they are arguably the “richest” team in terms of young talent and future draft picks.  On their roster, they have various trade assets including aging big man David Lee, guard Avery Bradley, and swingman Evan Turner. Reportedly, they are eyeing a trade for Atlanta Hawks big man Al Horford despite their loaded frontline. Horford is a free agent next season and the Hawks would rather get something than nothing by trading him. The Celtics are currently 3rd in the Eastern Conference and are poised to make a leap into the NBA elite by acquiring one or two top notch talent.
