The February 18 NBA trade deadline is fast approaching, and a majority of teams around the league are still looking to add at least one piece before it hits.
Check out the most underrated players potentially available at the deadline below.
1. Gerald Green
Green hasn’t been reported on the trade block--sources insisted to Sporting News that there’s “no way” Phoenix will move Green this year--but several signs indicate that he could be available.
Green’s minutes are down overall from last season, from 28.4 to 21.3. He’s also primarily coming off the bench. Another big indication was Green’s DNP-CD against the Bulls on January 30, after playing every game last season and every game so far this season.
Coach Jeff Hornachek said the decision was based on matchups, but it prompted speculation that Green could be moved soon.
Green, 29, will be an unrestricted free agent after this season, and is making just $3.5 million this season.
Green is an attractive option for contenders looking to bolster their wing, launching almost six three-pointers a game and making a tidy 41 percent of them. The Suns are loaded with players, so might be content to get a draft pick for Green instead of potentially letting him walk away this summer for nothing.
2. Luis Scola
