Who is the most Indispensable player in the NBA today?

[dieselboy]

I'm asking, who would be the player least likely to be traded in the NBA today? I am talking about teams receiving ridiculous offers for the player, but who is the least likely to go. What player wouldn't be dealt because of Owners unwilling to deal a crowd favorite, etc. Reasons? Contract. Age. Injury-History. Team/Orginization involvement.

I was just thinking about this because of just off-season rumors all ready swirling around.

Candidates off the top of my head: Garnett, James, Shaq, Duncan, Wallace, Peja, Pierce, J. O'neal, etc.

What do you guys think?

<font color="teal">Shaquille O'Neal, Los Angeles Lakers-
The dude's a monster and a critical part of the Lakers' success. If you trade him, you break the 11th commandment, "Thou Shall Not Trade the Big Fella"

LeBron, 'Melo, Wade, rookies-
These three are rookies on the rise. There is only nothing but success for these rookies.

Kevin Garnett, Minnesota Timberwolves-
One of the NBA, if not THE NBA's most complete player in the league. The dude can do everything... score, rebound, assist.

Tim Duncan, San Antonio Spurs-
The league's most fundamental player. You just can't trade a former MVP player.

Jermaine O'Neal, Indiana Pacers-
A young guy on the rise to getting even better than he is right now.

Peja Stojakovic, Sacramento Kings-
Arguably the league's best scorer and three point shooter. A scoring threat from everywhere on the court.

Jason Kidd, New Jersey Nets-
One of the few with a pass first attitude. The dude has eyes on the back of his head and has commercials to prove it.

Ben Wallace, Detroit Pistons-
A defensive powerhouse in the paint. He can rebound and block while giving out 200% every night. He even surprises many on offense. Not to mention he's a fan favorite.

Paul Pierece, Boston Celtics-
An offensive threat who can drain it from everywhere. Also a fan favorite.

Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas Mavericks-
Although he can't really play defense, he's working on it. He's also the best big man outside shooter. He's a freakin 7 footer who drains threes.

Zach Randolph, Portland Trailblazers-
If the Blazers trade him, they're crazy mofos. The guy can play ball and is another young guy on the rise.

Andrei Kirilenko, Utah Jazz-
Unless the Jazz get a bigger impact player, you can't trade him. He's KG-esque, but with a little less on each stat line. He averaged 16.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.9 steals, and 2.8 blocks per game. A complete package.

Yao Ming, Houston Rockets-
If you can get Shaq, KG, or Duncan for him, then by all means trade him. But that's HIGHLY unlikey. Yao is tall, young, and has played a pivitol role in Houston. He's also a marketable player helping NBA games being televised in China.

Michael Redd, Miluakee Bucks-
The lost art of the midrange game. A great shooter who's young. He reminds me of Ray Allen.

Pau Gasol, Memphis Grizzlies-
An ugly logo won't alter his 17 and 8 a game averages. He's only been in the league for 3 years and has signs of getting better. He's also a former Rookie of the Year.

OK, now that I'm done with my post... the question is really hard to answer. There are numerous people who are indispensible. But my top three would be Shaq, KG, and Duncan.
