While there are still plenty of familiar names available as free agents, there's a multitude of reasons those players remain unsigned. Some teams may be scared off by price, while others may not believe that those familiar names represent a significant upgrade over their in-house options at a particular position.
That's led to an increase in trade chatter and speculation on the rumor mill, which seems to only grow louder with every free-agent signing. In fact, the names being bandied about as potential trade chips are just as familiar and notable—a list that, this week, includes a handful of former All-Stars.
Keep in mind these proposed deals are only ideas and pure speculation. Unless otherwise noted, there's no indication any of them has actually been discussed.
