2. John Konchar

Though he may be the least sexy name mentioned on this list today, John Konchar is a player who has reportedly drawn ample attention from title-hopeful teams throughout trade season and it's easy to see why.

Since coming into the league back in 2019, the 27-year-old has established himself as a highly reliable 3-and-D talent as well as a consistent contributor within coach Taylor Jenkins' rotation.

Along with his ability to stroke it from deep, with his highly underrated athleticism, Konchar is also someone who can provide a team with efficient mid-range and interior scoring, thus only further securing himself as being a solid fit for virtually any team looking for wing help.

Throughout his five-year playing career, Konchar finds himself sporting averages of 4.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and just shy of a steal in just 17.4 minutes a night all while cashing in on 47.5 percent of his attempts from the floor and 36.1 percent from distance.

Attached to an expiring contract with a salary of just $2.4 million contract, the forward makes for a near-ideal target for a multitude of cash-strapped championship contenders, with teams like the Boston Celtics already rumored to be interested.

Of all the names mentioned here, Konchar very well could be the most likely to be traded before February 8.
