The NBA trade market feels like it never really closes, but it definitely has its peak business hours.

Since the draft can only grant so many roster wishes, and free agency feels forever short on spenders and star players under this collective bargaining agreement, the trade market looms as a potential savior for so many stuck-in-the-mud shoppers. But what exactly can they hope to acquire this summer?

Well, funny you should ask, since the whole reason we're here is to identify this offseason's top realistic trade markets and rank them based on their perceived desirability and potential impact.

Andrew Wiggins, Miami Heat 1 of 10Wiggins' name bounced around a good bit during last trade season, and it figures to make another rumor-mill appearance here shortly.

Assuming the 31-year-old picks up his $30.2 million player option, he could immediately become a principal part of Miami's next whale hunt.

Teams probably aren't paying that, but they could (and should) be willing to pay a premium for the athletic 6'8" shotmaker and versatile stopper. Since he'd fit with both win-now shoppers and win-soon ascenders, he could have a vast market of suitors.

Tyler Herro, Miami Heat 3 of 10There might be some controversial names on this list. This shouldn't be one of them.

That could easily be the case. Extension talks went nowhere last offseason, and it's hard to see things going smoother after he just had such an injury-impacted campaign and they seemingly picked up a suitable replacement in Norman Powell (who needs a new deal now).

Anthony Davis, Washington Wizards 5 of 10While Davis has yet to suit up for the Wizards, his days in the District might already be numbered. NBA insider Chris Haynes revealed there's "a good chance" Davis gets moved over the offseason, and Jake Fischer reported hearing "that same trade sentiment floating around the league."

Davis, who turned 33 in March, may not love Washington's chances of competing on his timeline. The Wizards, in turn, may not be thrilled at the prospect of covering his next contract—he holds a $62.8 million player option for 2027-28—when they might not be ready to rise before he starts to decline.

Trey Murphy III, New Orleans Pelicans 7 of 10The Pelicans might want to hang onto Murphy, but there are realistic reasons to think he should be available. They aren't remotely competitive (117 losses over the past two seasons), and he should be nearing his prime—which, by the way, may see him peak as a star role player and not an actual star.

Alperen Şengün, Houston Rockets 8 of 10Rockets fans will probably push back at the classification of Şengün as a realistic trade target. Their lead executives might do the same.

Kawhi Leonard, Los Angeles Clippers 9 of 10It doesn't take a huge leap in logic to wonder whether L.A.'s draft lottery luck might convince this club to lean further into the future-focused shift that started at the trade deadline. If the Clippers think they can find a franchise centerpiece at No. 5, they could be ready and willing to move on from Leonard, the 34-year-old currently filling that role and approaching his final season under contract.

"Them getting the No. 5 pick in the draft is the piece of information they've been waiting for," a West executive told ESPN's Brian Windhorst. "At the very least, you'd expect them to have some fresh conversations to assess his [trade] value."

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks 10 of 10Is Antetokounmpo still a "name your price" type of trade asset? It feels like the market will let us know soon, since the Bucks are reportedly "open for business on trade calls and offers" for the two-time MVP, per ESPN's Shams Charania.

Jalen Duren, with an ADP of 58, outperformed expectations by averaging 19.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.6 stocks per game. While a few more stocks would boost his value, he still ranked 38th in 9-cat leagues and 51st in High Score formats. Duren finished fifth in double-doubles, cementing his status as one of the most reliable and efficient big men to target within the first four rounds of fantasy drafts. But that postseason was rough. He averaged a mere 10 ppg after posting 20 per game in the regular season and was a shell of himself overall. He picked the wrong time to turn into a pumpkin and it cost the Pistons a possible berth in the Eastern Conference finals.

After consecutive Western Conference finals appearances, the Minnesota Timberwolves were ousted in the second round by the San Antonio Spurs.
