As the trade deadline approaches, potential stash candidates for fantasy basketball are a hot topic. Roto Mike Barner joins the discussion to evaluate various players who could see increased value due to trades. The Chicago Bulls, struggling this season, are under scrutiny, particularly around Zach LaVine’s future with the team. Barner suggests that while LaVine has regained some trade value, moving him could benefit the Bulls by allowing younger talent to flourish.

Two players to consider stashing include Donovan Clingan of the Portland Trail Blazers and Isaiah Kiri of the Utah Jazz. Clingan has shown promise and could see more minutes if the Blazers offload veterans. Kiri, meanwhile, could benefit from potential trades involving Colin Sexton or Jordan Clarkson, boosting his assist numbers and overall production. Lastly, Jaylen Smith, currently underutilized by the Bulls, may become a focal point if Nikola Vucevic is traded, making him a high-upside stash candidate.
