Exclamation ESPN: The 10 Players Most Likely To Be Traded

http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/insid...deWatch-071213

1. Jason Williams, Heat
Now coming off the bench behind Chris Quinn, it is simply a matter of when, not if, the Heat will trade him.

Unless the Heat decide that Udonis Haslem is expendable -- or if they decide to sell high on Dorell Wright -- Williams' contract represents one of the few true trade assets they'll have either this season or next. The Heat expected better from Williams after he came to camp in his best physical condition in years, but he has continued to be plagued by poor shot selection and an inability to finish in the lane, which has hampered him throughout his career.

2. Andre Miller, 76ers
Asked last weekend whether the Sixers were getting a lot of trade calls, new general manager Ed Stefanski said: "No, we're the ones making the calls."

It's hard to see why Philadelphia wouldn't be willing to ship Miller to Miami for Williams if the Heat were willing to give up an unprotected No. 1 pick in the 2010 draft, but there is talk that Miller is not Riley's kind of player. Of course, they said that about Ricky Davis, too.

3. Smush Parker, Heat
He was kept away from the team at Riley's behest after getting into an altercation nearly two weeks ago with a valet parking attendant, and he wasn't exactly making Riles feel all warm and fuzzy prior to that.

His track record with Riley and coaches Phil Jackson and Bob Hill will scare away a majority of teams, and his $2.5 million player option for next season is a deterrent, too. But he did have 230 3-pointers and 259 steals over the past two seasons, and at some point -- especially if Miller is traded sooner rather than later -- there is going to be a secondary trade market for point guards in which he will be a major player.

Walter Herrmann is a very solid player. Hes caught somewhere between Nocioni and a very poor mans Dr.J or Clyde Drexler.

cant see how anyone would want Smush, or why the Twolves would trade Ratliff's deal rather.

9. Theo Ratliff, Timberwolves
Players with huge, expiring contracts always have value for teams looking to clear cap space, and Ratliff will stand head and shoulders above all others in February because his expiring deal pays $11.6 million.

The rub here, however, is that Minnesota is not going to take any bad contracts back, because the Timberwolves, too, would be happy to simply let Ratliff come off their books at the end of June. But if they could combine Ratliff in a trade that would rid them of Marko Jaric's contract -- even if it was for a player or players who come off the cap in 2009 -- they'll strongly consider it.

Wallace/Duhon for Ratliff/Jaric works on tradechecker. I'd do that deal in an instant.

Walter Hermann should never be in the same sentence as Dr. J or Clyde Drexler unless there's a at the end.

I believe the term is "homeless man's"...

Why does ISH hate Smush so very much. We act like he shouldn't be in the NBA.
