What actually goes into determining a player’s trade value? Talent is first and foremost, obviously, but there's also the length and worth of the player's contract, their age, their fit with the roster, their attitude towards the game, their injury history, their lifestyle off the court, and much more.

That's all to say… It's actually pretty hard to measure a player's trade value.

Since there is no measurable way to establish it, we decided: Why not leave it up for the people - you guys - to decide? And that's what we're doing here exactly, leaving you with the option to pick between players to determine who you'd rather have, i.e., who has the better trade value.

Above, you can have fun with our new Trade Value Rankings tool, which lets you pick between your favorite players to help us decide which players have the highest value in the NBA market.
