          Trade targets: All 30 teams

          Miami Heat

          Record: 29-24
          5th place in East

          Status: Buyers

          Update (Feb.16): The Hornets, Grizzlies and Heat made a trade centered around Courtney Lee. Read the trade grades here.

          Pat Riley's Heat are going to be one of the most interesting teams at the deadline. Miami is always in win-now mode.

          While the season has been a disappointment, the Heat have been better lately and are well situated to make a run in the East. With Dwyane Wade, Luol Deng and Hassan Whiteside among eight Miami players headed for unrestricted free agency, the Heat are as apt to pull off a blockbuster shake-up as anyone.

          Potential trade targets

          Carmelo Anthony
