Numerous trade rumors have been flying all over the about potential trades within the NBA—especially about Carmelo Anthony. Speculation is being made about what teams should do in order to improve or rebuild, and signing on new members to the team is a big part of those processes.

Here is a look at 10 players who are being talked about and where they could possibly be going. 

Andre Iguodala

NEW YORK, NY - FEBRUARY 06:  Andre Iguodala #9 of the Philadelphia 76ers shoots a free throw against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on February 6, 2011 in New York City. NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowledges and agrees that, by downloadi

Andre Iguodala has four years left in his contract with the Sixers, but they are supposedly looking to relieve themselves of the young guard. 

Iguodala has regularly had pretty decent stats, but he hasn't accomplished what the Sixers had hoped the Illinois native would. 

Steve Nash

PHOENIX, AZ - JANUARY 28:  Steve Nash #13 of the Phoenix Suns drives the ball during the NBA game against the Boston Celtics at US Airways Center on January 28, 2011 in Phoenix, Arizona. The Suns defeated the Celtics 88-71. NOTE TO USER: User expressly ac

The Phoenix Suns are not currently looking into any trade agreements, but rumors have been going around that Steve Nash would be better off on another team. 

Nash has worked hard for the Suns and his fans think the two-time NBA MVP deserves more than what the Suns have to offer. 

Antawn Jamison

MIAMI, FL - DECEMBER 15: Antawn Jamison #4  of the Cleveland Cavaliers talks with a referee during a game against the Miami Heat at American Airlines Arena on December 15, 2010 in Miami, Florida. NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowledges and agrees that,

Trade rumors about Antawn Jamison going to New Orleans have been circulating for some time now. There is considerable doubt as to whether or not a deal can be worked out for Jamison's last year under contract, as it is valued at $15.1 million. 

Dwight Howard

BOSTON, MA - FEBRUARY 06:  Dwight Howard #12 of the Orlando Magic reacts after he is called for a foul in the second half against the Boston Celtics on February 6, 2011 at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. The Celtics defeated the Magic 91-80. NOTE

With the trade deadline approaching, talk of Dwight Howard leaving Orlando have been circulating well within the rumor mill. Some speculation about Howard joining the Lakers has been floating around, but Howard has spoken out against a trade and free agency, saying he isn't going anywhere. 

Al Harrington

CHARLOTTE, NC - DECEMBER 07:  Al Harrington #7 of the Denver Nuggets against the Charlotte Bobcats during their game at Time Warner Cable Arena on December 7, 2010 in Charlotte, North Carolina.  NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowledges and agrees that, b

Al Harrington is continually being brought up as part of a deal involving Carmelo Anthony. Harrington isn't being rumored to be traded exclusively for his own talent but as part of larger trade agreement. 

Corey Brewer

LOS ANGELES - NOVEMBER 9:  Corey Brewer #22 of the Minnesota Timberwolves dunks against the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center on November 9, 2010 in Los Angeles, California. The Lakers won 99-94.   NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowledges and agrees t

Like Harrington, Corey Brewer has been rumored to be included as parts of deals surrounding Carmelo Anthony, as well. 

Ron Artest

LOS ANGELES, CA - FEBRUARY 03:  Ron Artest #15 of the Los Angeles Lakers reacts to a lost possession against the San Antonio Spurs during the first half at Staples Center on February 3, 2011 in Los Angeles, California.  NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknow

Charlotte is interested in Ron Artest. While there is a lot of speculation surrounding the reigning NBA champ, it has been said not to expect a deal. 

Aaron Brooks

BOSTON, MA - JANUARY 10:  Aaron Brooks #0 of the Houston Rockets celebrates his three point shot in the second half against the Boston Celtics on January 10, 2011 at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.  The Rockets defeated the Celtics 108-102. NOTE T

The Rockets would look to move Aaron Brooks by the trade deadline but don't necessarily want to. However, they just don't seem committed to putting Brooks back in the playing rotation. 

Chauncey Billups

DENVER, CO - JANUARY 13:  Chauncey Billups #1 of the Denver Nuggets dribbles the ball upcourt against the Miami Heat at the Pepsi Center on January 13, 2011 in Denver, Colorado. The Nuggets defeated the Heat 130-102. NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowled

Chauncey Billups could be another pawn of a Carmelo Anthony trade. He may be getting shipped along to pad a deal for the departing Denver Nugget.

Carmelo Anthony

DENVER, CO - JANUARY 21:  Carmelo Anthony #15 of the Denver Nuggets collides with Kobe Bryant #24 of the Los Angeles Lakers at the Pepsi Center on January 21, 2011 in Denver, Colorado. The Lakers defeated the Nuggets 107-97. NOTE TO USER: User expressly a

Carmelo Anthony's name has been going 'round and 'round the NBA rumor mill. First, it was the Nets, though the deal fell apart shortly before the Nuggets and Nets played. 

Now, rumor has it that the owner of the Knicks is preparing to move on 'Melo, who has mentioned in the past that New York was his preferred destination.  But with fresh interest shown from the Lakers recently, it's hard to say where the old Syracuse forward may end up.
