The Atlanta Hawks could be open to trading three of their core players in Al Horford, Jeff Teague, and Kyle Korver as the NBA trade deadline approaches, according to ESPN's Kevin Arnovitz and Brian Windhorst.

Horford has already been mentioned as a possible trade candidate as an expiring contract, but the broader point seems to be that the Hawks organization may be willing to part with some or all of the core that set a franchise record with 60 wins last season.

The Hawks have apparently gauged the market for Teague, with Arnovitz and Windhorst reporting the Orlando Magic as a possible suitor for his services. Orlando is reportedly hoping to add more veteran players to its young roster amid rumors of Tobias Harris' availability. The decision to move Teague could be made easier for Atlanta thanks to the play of 22-year-old backup point guard Dennis Schroder.

Korver, who turns 35 next month, has seen a significant drop-off from his historically good shooting season last year, but is still hitting 38.3 percent of his shots from deep.

The Hawks are fifth in the Eastern Conference as of Tuesday with a 30-24 record.
