2. John Konchar
Over the past several months, there have been a number of teams that have been found linked to John Konchar as being a potential trade destination ahead of February 8.
As we approach crunch time, one should expect phones to continue ringing with inquiries about his availability.
At 6-foot-5, 210 pounds Konchar measures in as an ideal two-three tweener in the NBA, while his long-range game and defensive abilities should only strengthen the interest rival clubs have in his services ahead of Thursday.

Currently in his fifth season in the association, the 27-year-old finds himself sporting sound averages of 4.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and just shy of a steal in just 17.5 minutes per game all while splashing home 47.2 percent of his attempts from the floor and 36.1 percent from distance.
With his expiring $2.4 million contract, Konchar makes for an optimal trade target for a bevy of cash-strapped ball clubs that may be looking to improve their three-point shooting before the playoffs.
With this in mind, teams like the Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers, and Golden State Warriors could all wind up finding themselves deep in the running for the Grizzlies wing's 3-and-D skill set.
