Imagine an NBA trade deadline without the business restrictions; a place where, come Feb. 24, every team has had a trade wish granted.

That's essentially our scenario here. We're not making trade predictions, but rather uncovering each club's primary need and identifying the ideal player—or asset—to address it.

Some realism is obviously needed, otherwise we'd just have a handful of superstars being deployed across the league. Teams trading for stars here are those with the motivations and resources to do so. Each addition also must be at least conceivably available, and no players are picked twice.

This isn't a crystal ball; it's a peek into an Association where everyone leaves the deadline satisfied.
