The NBA trade deadline is the time when teams decide whether they want changes or stick with the players they started the season with. For this season, there is a possibility that some players will change teams before the deadline. One of the biggest trades of this season before the deadline has already happened in the form of James Harden. He was traded to the LA Clippers after refusing to play for the Philadelphia 76ers. The current season’s trade deadline is February 8, 2024. Let’s have a look at players who might get traded before the NBA deadline.
Jordan Poole
Jordan Poole has not been much of a help for the Washington Wizards this season. His average is 14.5 points per game. Poole has been disappointing for the team and could be moved before the NBA trade deadline this season. His current shooting efficiency from the field is 39.5%, which is his second-worst.
Austin Reaves
Austin Reaves has been a good player for the LA Lakers, but the team needs someone who can make a lasting impact and lead the team with their top players. Reaves could move out of the franchise before the NBA trade deadline and things for the Lakers might change.
Alex Caruso
Alex Caruso is the point guard for the Chicago Bulls. The Lakers are interested in trading for Alex Caruso. He is an experienced player, so having him on the team may prove good for the Lakers. The Bulls are open to trading him this off-season. Caruso is a skilled player who can help the Lakers solve their problems on the court.
Zach LaVine
Zach LaVine is also currently signed with the Chicago Bulls. The Lakers want him in the trade as well and the Bulls are also ready to trade him. If the LA Lakers acquire him before the NBA trade deadline, that can solve half of their problems. It will also encourage LaVine to play better basketball. The only issue is Zach’s huge contract, once that problem is sorted out, the Lakers can easily acquire him.
OG Anunoby
Toronto Raptors shooting guard OG Anunoby has always been a part of trade talks and this season, he could finally be traded. He is a reliable player who can bring something to any team he goes to. Whether he is traded before the NBA deadline or during it, whichever team he goes to will definitely benefit.
