NBA Trade Deadline: 10 players in need of a new team

Which 10 players are in need of a new team as the NBA trade deadline looms?

The Feb. 19 NBA trade deadline is rapidly approaching and over the last few weeks, we’ve already seen a large number of high profile trades come through, with players like Timofey Mozgov, Dion Waiters, J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert, Brandan Wright and Jeff Green swapping teams.

But the action probably isn’t over yet, and the rumor mill is swirling at this time of year. There are always NBA players bound to be unhappy with their team’s success, their role on their team, their front office or whatever else may make their current situation inconvenient and unpleasant.
