The NBA's 2024-25 trade deadline is rapidly approaching, with teams needing to make crucial decisions about their rosters before February 6. As playoff ambitions intensify, some franchises are looking to acquire key players while others look to offload veterans for younger prospects and draft picks.
The Atlanta Hawks, currently at a 19-19 record, face pressure to improve their roster, particularly with Clint Capela and De'Andre Hunter being potential trade targets. In contrast, the Boston Celtics, sitting at 28-11, aim for minor tax savings and may look to deal Jaden Springer.
Teams like the Brooklyn Nets and Charlotte Hornets are in a rebuilding phase, with Brooklyn expected to move several players in exchange for future assets. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls are contemplating moves involving Zach LaVine and Nikola Vučević as they grapple with expensive contracts. The Cleveland Cavaliers are focused on maintaining their strong start while possible cap space adjustments loom.
