With the 2024 NBA trade deadline on Feb. 8, many teams are eyeing the final trade window of the season, hoping to do something to change the status quo. Like the Los Angeles Lakers in the West and the Golden State Warriors, they are all teams that are very eager to be strengthened through some trades and compete for the championship. To that end, Fadeaway World has listed the 20 players who are most likely to be traded before the trade window closes in February 2024.
1.Donovan Mitchell.
In the 2023-24 season, Donovan Mitchell averaged 27 points per game; Donovan Mitchell had already told the knights that he didn't want to stay in the city. Therefore, he may be traded to the New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers next.
2.Zach Lavin.
In the 2023-24 season, Zach LaVine averaged 19 points per game; Zach LaVine's recent dip in form has been severe, and his big contract could be an obstacle to him being traded. However, the Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Lakers have been the teams with the most trade rumors with Zach LaVine recently.
3.Markkanen.
In the 2023-24 season, Markkanen averaged 23 points per game; Markkanen is one of the best interior players on the roster, with multiple positions and decent three-point shooting. The Atlanta Hawks and Oklahoma City Thunder are said to want to take him. However, the Lakers and Warriors are the teams most eager to get Markkanen, because his arrival can raise their strength to the Western Conference Finals level.
4.Klay Thompson.
In the 2023-24 season, Klay Thompson averaged 17 points per game; Klay Thompson felt he didn't have the respect of the Golden State Warriors, and he wanted a big contract with a maximum salary, but the Warriors turned him down. Teams like the Brooklyn Nets and the Dallas Mavericks are all considered likely to take Klay Thompson.
5.DeRozan.
In the 2023-24 season, DeRozan averaged 22 points per game; DeRozan's form hasn't changed much in recent seasons, and he's still one of the best players in the league. However, the Bulls intend to rebuild, and he could be sent away by a trade. Like the Los Angeles Lakers and the New York Knicks, they are all potential next teams for him.
6.Dejounte Murray.
In the 2023-24 season, Dejounte Murray averaged 21 points per game; As a swingman who can play both offense and defense, Dejounte Murray is loved by many teams. The Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors are his next favorites. Recently, the Lakers revoked their plan to trade D'Angelo Russell for Dejounte Murray, and as a result, Dejounte Murray slapped the Lakers in the face with his performance against the Lakers, because the Lakers did not deserve to have themselves.
7.Vucevich.
In the 2023-24 season, Vucevic averaged 16 points per game; Vucevic managed to re-sign with the Bulls last offseason, and as a result, the Bulls intend to rebuild. He could be traded to the Memphis Grizzlies or Orlando Magic, and returning to the Magic might be his best bet.
8.Jeramy Grant.
In the 2023-24 season, Jerami Grant averaged 21 points per game; Lillard has gone to the huddle, and it doesn't make much sense for him to stay with the Trail Blazers. The Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers are his favorites. However, it is unlikely that he will go to the Lakers, the contract is too big, and he does not want to go to the Lakers as the third star, which is also the factor that when he was in the Pistons, he would rather go to the Trail Blazers than the Lakers.
9.Capella.
In the 2023-24 season, Capela averaged 11 points per game; Capela is a very dedicated player and as a centre-forward, he can do the dirty work. The Dallas Mavericks and Memphis Grizzlies are good teams for him, but he has had some injuries in recent years that could affect his trade value.
10.D'Angelo Russell.
In the 2023-24 season, D'Angelo Russell averaged 17 points per game; The Los Angeles Lakers may regret renewing D'Angelo Russell because he hasn't been in a very consistent state. Recently, it has recovered a lot, but it was quickly beaten back to its original shape. Players like the Chicago Bulls and the Atlanta Hawks are potential next teams for him.
11.Andrew Wiggins.
In the 2023-24 season, Andrew Wiggins averaged 12 points per game; Andrew Wiggins' potential next teams are the Chicago Bulls and the Dallas Mavericks. Recently, the Golden State Warriors were revealed to be planning to trade Andrew Wiggins in exchange for a better and more consistent All-Star forward because of their poor record. Like DeRozan, he is one of the targets that the Warriors want to trade for reinforcements.
12.Miles Bridges.
In the 2023-24 season, Miles Bridges averaged 20 points per game; Miles Bridges' potential next teams are the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns. Recently, the Suns have been said to be very confident of acquiring him because the Suns are willing to offer him a good contract. Given his history of domestic violence, many teams have shunned Miles Bridges.
13.Bojan Bogdanovic.
In the 2023-24 season, Bojan Bogdanovic averaged 20 points per game; As a veteran who is almost 35 years old, Bojan Bogdanovic has no shortage of suitors. Like the Los Angeles Lakers and the Minnesota Timberwolves, they are all his hot suitors. As a tall pitcher, he was popular with the outside world.
14.Jordan Clarkson.
In the 2023-24 season, Jordan Clarkson averaged 17 points per game; Jordan Clarkson's potential next teams are the Phoenix Suns and the New York Knicks. As one of the Jazz's best offensive players, he could be sent away by a Jazz trade. The main thing is that the Jazz are looking to rebuild, and they don't need Jordan Clarkson, who is already 30 years old. Moreover, Jordan Clarkson's outside shooting this season is also very poor, which is a big reason why the Jazz intend to give up on him.
15.Deandre Hunter.
In the 2023-24 season, DeAndre Hunter averaged 14 points per game; The Hawks have wanted to trade him for a long time, but given his potential, the Hawks have not taken the initiative to give up on his idea. However, after this season, the Hawks may be looking to trade him to find a better helper for Trae Young. Like the New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers, they are all potential next teams for him.
16.Hilde.
In the 2023-24 season, Hield averaged 12 points per game; This season, the Pacers' offensive possession has been compressed, and his personal three-point shooting percentage has dropped a bit. Like the Toronto Raptors and the Brooklyn Nets, they are all potential suitors for Hield. As one of the best scorers in the game, Hield is also a follower by many teams, such as the Los Angeles Lakers.
17.Hachimura Fortress.
In the 2023-24 season, Hachimura averaged 11 points per game; Hachimura's potential next teams are the Chicago Bulls and the Toronto Raptors. The Lakers could consider trading Hachimura for All-Star players like DeRozan, Zach LaVine or Dejounte Murray.
18.Alex Caruso.
In the 2023-24 season, Alex Caruso averaged 10 points per game; The Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks are potential next teams for Alex Caruso, who continues to show his individual scoring ability and defensive ability this season, and it could be a good thing if the Lakers can bring him back.
19.Robert Covington.
In the 2023-24 season, Robert Covington averaged 4 points per game; He's always been a team known for their defense. If the Toronto Raptors and Chicago Bulls want to continue competing for a playoff spot, they could consider trading him.
20.Brogdon.
In the 2023-24 season, Broger averaged 15 points per game; After being traded by the Celtics to the Trail Blazers, he continued to show what it takes to be a team's third or fourth scorer. However, his annual salary of $22 million is the key to preventing him from making the playoffs.
