2 Groups to keep in mind approaching the Feb. 21 trading deadline
2. Players in need of a new home
Jason Kidd, Nets: He'll be the top prize at the deadline, but which contender can assemble a package acceptable to New Jersey? It's not going to be easy.
Damon Stoudamire, Grizzlies: He would love to enhance a winning team with leadership and shooting.
Zaza Pachulia, Hawks: Al Horford has claimed his minutes, and his $4 million salary is attractive.
Mike James, Rockets: Houston has one point guard too many, and a lot of teams need help in the backcourt.
Hakim Warrick, Grizzlies: His minutes have been sliced in half this year, but he remains an efficient scorer and mismatch-maker.
1. Teams in need of a new player
Cavaliers: Andre Miller or an additional shooter could help Cleveland make a second-half run.
Bulls: Could Jermaine O'Neal provide the low-post scoring to turn around their season?
Kings: They could hasten their rebuilding by moving Mike Bibby at the deadline, and Brad Miller's stock is up as well.
Warriors and Hornets: Both teams need to strengthen their reserves. Could Golden State send a package to New Orleans that would land Bobby Jackson as a backup to Baron Davis?
Mavericks: They may be looking to bring in another veteran for the stretch run, though acquiring Kidd may be too great a makeover.
