Carmelo Anthony Trade: The Top 10 Players Left on the NBA Trade Block

With the top prospect off-the-block, who's left for the rest of the NBA?

Chances are another trade may not happen before the deadline, but you never know.

And if worse comes to worse, then this off-season could be interesting.

However, in the event of any rumors, here are the top 10 players on the block.

10. Stephen Jackson

CHICAGO, IL - FEBRUARY 15: Stephen Jackson #1 of the Charlotte Bobcats moves against Ronnie Brewer #11 of the Chicago Bulls at the United Center on February 15, 2011 in Chicago, Illinois. The Bulls defeated the Bobcats 106-94. NOTE TO USER: User expressly

Let's face it Charlotte has no chance of getting past the first-round of the playoffs, and that's even if they make the playoffs.

With that being said, a chance to save some cap room and rebuild for 2011-2012 is the more realistic choice (especially with the collective bargaining agreement coming up).

As Jackson, his current deal is for $9.3 million next season and $10.1 million for 2012-2013.

On the court, he could be a decent contributor averaging 19 points and almost four assists per game. 

9. Ron Artest

CHARLOTTE, NC - FEBRUARY 14: Ron Artest #15 of the Los Angeles Lakers reacts to a call against the Charlotte Bobcats during their game at Time Warner Cable Arena on February 14, 2011 in Charlotte, North Carolina. NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowledges

Has a ring, not that expensive, has a few years left and is under-performing this season in L.A.

And despite starting all 57 games this season, he has only averaged 28 minutes per game.

However, with his low salary of $6.7 million for next season, and just over seven million in 2012-2013, a team that believes Ron Artest can get back on track may make a move for him.

8. Devin Harris

NEW ORLEANS, LA - DECEMBER 22: Devin Harris #34 of the New Jersey Nets drives the ball around Jarrett Jack #2 of the New Orleans Hornets at the New Orleans Arena on December 22, 2010 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Hornets defeated the Nets 105-91.

Averages 15 points and over seven assists per game while shooting 42 percent from the field, Devin Harris is a hot-commodity in New Jersey.

With Troy Murphy's contract expiring, if the Nets can manage to maximize a trade using Harris, they could start to rebuild in their new city come 2012.

As for the contract, Harris is due to make over nine million next season and over eight million in 2012-2013.

7. Andre Miller

PHOENIX, AZ - JANUARY 14: Andre Miller #24 of the Portland Trail Blazers in action during the NBA game against the Phoenix Suns at US Airways Center on January 14, 2011 in Phoenix, Arizona. The Suns defeated the Trail Blazers 115-111. NOTE TO USER: User

46 percent from the field while putting over 13 points and seven assists per game.

Not to mention he's 85 percent from the line.

What's great about this is the fact that his salary is only just over seven million this year, while the team has the option next season (which would be near eight million).

Should be interesting if a team like Atlanta goes for a consistent PG like Mr. Miller.

6. Antawn Jamison

MIAMI, FL - DECEMBER 15: Antawn Jamison #4 of the Cleveland Cavaliers shoots a free throw 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,

Two negatives come to mind:

1. He'll be 35 years old next season, and

2. Next season his contract is set for $15 million dollars.

However, he does average almost 18 points and seven rebounds per game while shooting 42 percent from the field.

Whoever thinks he's worth should try for him, because Cleveland is once again rebuilding and youth is key when it comes to starting over.

5. Tayshaun Prince

Despite not being in too many trade talks in comparison to his brethren across the association, Prince still has value come this off-season.

His current contract of $11 million for this season expires, and should make him more marketable for 2011-2012.

On the year he averages over 14 points per game and is 48 percent from the field.

If anyone needs a guy who can shoot from the wing, let Tayshaun be your man.

4. Richard Hamilton

MIAMI, FL - DECEMBER 01: Richard Hamilton #32 of the Detroit Pistons shoots a jumpshot during a game against the Miami Heat at American Airlines Arena on December 1, 2010 in Miami, Florida. NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowledges and agrees that, by do

Set to make over $12 million each of the next two seasons, Hamilton has been at odds-ends with Detroit all season.

However, he still averages over 13 points per game while shooting 40 percent from three-point range and 41 percent on field-goals.

He still has a few years left in him, and if someone is willing to pay, then the price is right.

3. Gerald Wallace

CHARLOTTE, NC - DECEMBER 11: Gerald Wallace #3 of the Charlotte Bobcats against the Boston Celtics during their game at Time Warner Cable Arena on December 11, 2010 in Charlotte, North Carolina. NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowledges and agrees that,

Much like the previously mentioned Stephen Jackson, the Charlotte Bobcats could save even more cap room if they trade Gerald Wallace.

Currently averages over 15 points and eight rebounds per game, in also being 43 percent from the field.

Next year he's slated to bank $9.5 million and the same in 2012-2013 (with the final year being a player option).

2. Deron Williams

SALT LAKE CITY, UT - DECEMBER 8: Deron Williams #8 of the Utah Jazz passes the ball during a game against the Miami Heat during the second half of an NBA game December 8, 2010 at Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Heat beat the Jazz 111-

With the sudden retirement of legendary head coach Jerry Sloan, Deron Williams is now even under a bigger spot-light in Utah.

Not to mention the losses of Carlos Boozer and Kyle Korver to Chicago due to free agency last summer.

The biggest issue here for anyone needing a PG is that Williams is due for over $16 million next year and over $17 million in 2012-2013.

Although his stats are worth it, being that he averages over 21 points and nine assists per game with a 45 percent field goal percentage.

1. 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

With one year left on his contract ($11.7 million for next season), you may see Steve Nash elsewhere in 2011-2012.

Anyone who needs and can afford a PG of his stature should definitely have him on the top of their list.

Currently averages 52 percent from the field, 40 percent from downtown, as well as over 16 points and 11 assists.

With the loss of A'mare Stoudamire the Suns are fighting for a playoff spot. This season may be Nash's last in Phoenix if they cannot make a playoff run.

With the youth on the rise, Phoenix may need some changes come summer of 2011.
