How are trade candidates picked?

Each player needs a real reason to move: a final contract year on a team that is out of it, a veteran on a seller, a bad contract, a lost starting job, or his name in the week's trade reports. Young stars under contract and players who just signed are left off. Each reason is ranked by how often it really came before a deadline trade, 2013 to 2025: 106 trades among 11,186 regular players.
