1 Player From Every NBA Team That NEEDS To Be Traded Before The Deadline… (East)
The NBA’s trade deadline is one week away and all 30 teams are starting to get serious about what needs changing for the rest of their season some teams need a lot of big changes to get where they want to be While others only need a small move or two around the edges and
All of that ties into today’s video in today’s video and tomorrow’s video I will be going through all 30 NBA teams in the league picking out the one player from each group that is either most likely to be traded or just needs to be traded to help everyone involved in this
Video we’ll be going through the teams in the Eastern Conference and then tomorrow we’ll finish it up by going through the teams in the west before we start though it turns out a good amount of you watching right now aren’t even subscribed to the channel so if you
Enjoy the content consider hitting the Subscribe Button as not only does it help out a ton but it also very much appreciate now with that being said let’s begin going in alphabetical order we’ll start with the Atlanta Hawks and the player they need to trade the most before the deadline is dejonte Murray
The fact of the matter is that the Deonte Murray plan has failed when they traded for him 2 years ago there was hope that this core could be a group that makes some real noise in the playoffs with deep playoff runs but instead they’re sitting in 11th place in
The east standings with a future that looks pretty bleak unless change is made Murray is very available on the trade market according to reports and is obviously going to draw a ton of interest from teams in need of playmaking so whoever comes with the strongest offer will likely land him as
Long as the return gets the Hawks some pieces that actually fit next is the Boston Celtics and the player they’re most likely to trade is Payton Pritchard the Celtics seem like a group pretty content with what they have at their disposal so a trade isn’t necessarily
Imminent for them but if they were to make a move Pritchard seems like an obvious choice for who they could move he’s regained some value this season working his way back into the rotation and has flashed plenty of glimpses of someone who can be a good scorer Off the
Bench when needed but the thing is that the Celtics already have so much scoring and playmaking in their lineup that he’s very Expendable next is the Brooklyn Nets and the player they’re most likely to trade before the deadline is Spencer Den witty the Nets were hoping that the
Group they have would be competitive but with them now eight games below 500 they may have to be sellers at the deadline it’s not going to be easy to shed Den witty’s $2 million contract with how poorly he’s played this here but the fact that it’s expiring this summer
Should help a little bit and the Nets seem to have a good chance entering other deals as a third team to help facilitate their deals as well which could be where Den wty gets included up next is the Charlotte Hornets and the player they need to move at the deadline
The most is Miles Bridges miles Bridges comes with issues off the court that already complicate his value but his production on the court has made him a trade Target according to several reports and if the Hornets get a solid offer for him it is definitely in their
Best interest to take the assets and move on bridges does have the right to veto any trade because of the fact that he would lose his bird rights if he were to be traded but if a contender were to strike a deal the likelihood of him
Vetoing it seems very slim next up is the Chicago Bulls and the player they need to trade before the trade deadline is Zack LaVine everything is pointing towards lavine’s time in Chicago being over the core group they put together hoping to make noise in the playoffs never amounted to anything lavine’s
Individual production has taken a big dip and the Bulls have been better without him this year with him still under contract for three more years they need to move him sooner rather than later to start their next phase and Zach likely needs a change of scenery to
Rejuvenate his own career too up next is the Cleveland Cavaliers and the player they’re most likely to trade before the deadline is Caris LeVert the Cavaliers have been a banged up group all season long but are still a top five team in the East so they’re another group that
Seems unlikely to change much but lever’s contract is the easiest to include in a deal for what he actually provides he’s been solid Off the Bench for the team as a scorer this year but they won’t hesitate to get an upgrade if they can find it next is the Detroit
Pistons and the player they need to trade before the deadline is Buon bogdanovich last place teams are typically always sellers at the deadline and especially in this case bogdanovich just doesn’t fit the timeline at all and could easily be a help to a team looking
To make a playoff run his contract has a team option for next year so he doesn’t even have to be a long-term commitment he’s a highly efficient 20po scorer that makes 41% of his threes and the Pistons are better off getting what they can for him next is the Indiana Pacers and the
Player they’re most likely to trade before the deadline is Buddy hee the Pacers have actually already made their big pre- deadline trade by acquiring Pascal cakam so they very well well may be done making moves but if they’re not then buddy heeld is easily the most Expendable they have a lot of budding
Talent in their back court and healed will be a free agent this summer so he’s an obvious choice for any team in need of a rental to provide some highlevel shooting for the rest of the year up next is the Miami Heat and the player they were most likely to trade was Kyle
Lowry who was already traded Lowry was always going to be the Domino that fell for this team and I know having him as the pick here is a cop out but they like the Pacers have already made their big dead pre- deadline trade moving Lowry for Terry roier and I don’t see them
Moving anybody else between now and then next is the Milwaukee Bucks and the player they’re most likely to move is Pat conon the Bucks have historically been pretty active at the trade deadline making trades around this time in four of the last five seasons but this time
Around they seem pretty set with what they have if they do decide to search for an upgrade somewhere then conon and his 9 million doll salary will likely be needed in any offer they make in order to make the money work so while he’s served them well for years he could be
The odd man out up next is the New York Knicks and the player they’re most likely to trade before the deadline is Evan fornier the Knicks are another team that has already made its big acquisition of the Year bringing in OG an anobi so anything else done will be
Fringe on the margins fornier has been very vocal about his willingness to be moved but he and the organization have been in a bit of a standoff so the hope is that the Saga can finally come to an end before the trade deadline because fornier isn’t playing at all for them
And he clearly wants to get back out on the court next is the Orlando Magic and the player they’re most likely to trade before the deadline is Marquel folz the magic have finally started to take a leap but it has unfortunately come without foltz’s services for most of the
Season as he has been plagued by injuries he is back now and has worked his way back into the rotation but it’s never never been more clear that he is Expendable with Jaylen Suggs finally breaking out and Cole Anthony handling the sixthman playmaking duties folz and his $17 million expiring contract also
Make the most sense in any trade offer where the magic could look to make a big swing which according to several reports they might end up doing looking for a star and they’ll need the money to work in those kind of offers up next is the Philadelphia 76ers and the player
They’re most likely to trade for the deadline is KJ Martin I would have liked to have make Tobias Harris the pick here but with his contract Now set to expire this summer it seems confirmed that they plan to see things out with him and then
Open up some cap space in the summer KJ Martin is a young explosive athlete who has showed a lot of good things in his time in Houston but has not been able to break into the Sixers rotation consistantly with such a deep front court so if another team is intrigued
With his athleticism and motor then the price to get him doesn’t seem that high next up is the Toronto Raptors and the player they’re most likely to trade before the deadline is Bruce Brown Bruce Brown just got to Toronto as a result of the Pascal cakam trade and he might not
Want to settle in quite yet to his new home Brown’s value to last year’s nuggets team that won a championship has not gone unnoticed by contenders this year and he is drawing plenty of Interest as the deadline approaches he’s a stout perimeter Defender who can serve as a secondary ball handler and
Playmaker in big moments and makes any team that he is on better and finally the last team in the East is the Washington Wizards and the player they’re most likely to trade before the deadline is tus Jones again teams at the bottom of the standings are typically
Sellers when it comes to their valuable veteran talent and tus Jones is as reliable of a point guard as they come to add to a playoff rotation he’s a smart floor General that makes the right plays for those around him and scores the ball efficiently and any team in
Need of a ball handler for the final stretch of the Season should definitely see his value and with that being said that’s all I have for you today make sure to like the video subscribe to the channel and comment down below who you think is about to get traded thanks for

Sf rankings? I been waiting
yeah, PP is not going to get traded for the Celtics. Part of the rotation for the regular season and is on a good contract.
Where you been bro kyle lowry been gone since jan, 23
As a Pacers fan I really hope Buddy Hield is included in a trade by next Thursday, preferably for a defensive wing. Aaron Nesmith has earned his starting role at the 2 or 3, and it’s time to give fully consistent minutes to Mathurin. Heck even Ben Sheppard is starting to play his way into the rotation too.
Klay for Zach
no team getting bridges from hornets unless they offer something ridiculous. CAP
Knicks – haven’t watched yet, but definitely gonna be Fournier
Hornets don’t need to trade Miles Bridges lmao if anything they need to resign him PJ Washington is the guy the hornets need to trade
Miles Bridges needs to be sent to the nearest jail
Bogdanovic ? No way, he's the best wing shooter on Detroit's roster, if they move him, they'd seriously go for that Bobcats infamous record
Bum simmons
Blazers?
I am here to say this will be a exciting, unpredictable trade deadlines in awhile. And people proving me wrong about Brandon Miller think Hornets need to trade everyone and get more draft capitol, build around him, Pistons need to do several more moves keep Ivey and Duran. Cade at this point is looking more like a bust, Hawks need to stop being stubborn trade and blow it up, rebuild build towards a bright future, my thunder need to go all in get Markanen already and unload Giddey he's just never gonna pan out, Kings need to get another player close to where they need to be, Lakers need to build off with a post Lebron team get Lavine already and another point guard build around Davis, trade Lebron hard telling what is gonna happen lol. Got me excited as a fan.
Good luck getting rid of LaVine.
The Cavs should trade Max Strus, Ty Jerome and 2 draft picks for Dejounte Murray.
Pels?
I still don’t get why Buddy Hield needs to be moved. Very few guards play defence and they don’t shoot the 3 like him.
LeVert for the Cavs is quietly a hot take. He’s great off the bench! I’m with you though, if we can make an upgrade there, it wouldn’t be a bad idea. That said, he was born and raised in Cleveland. I could see us moving Struss because of his poor shooting.
My Celtics do need to keep Payton💯
what happened to rankings week?
I hope rockets Trade Tate for Pritchard or Nassir Little of the Suns
Every team huh bs titles get you deleted
