As Black Friday approaches, the NBA is heating up with trade talks, though significant moves are unlikely until after December 15. Teams like the Brooklyn Nets are open to trading veterans but won't take on bad contracts. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls may pivot to selling players like Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic to protect their draft pick.

The Washington Wizards are also expected to be sellers, with potential trades for veterans like Kyle Kuzma and Jonas Valanciunas as they continue their rebuild.
