These players ought to be dealt next during the NBA trade season.
These are the moves that would make the most sense, from spark plugs off the bench to superstar game changers.
No one anticipated that the first domino in the NBA trade season would fall on New Year’s Weekend. The trade season officially started on March 1, 2023, when the Toronto Raptors traded OG Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa, and Malachi Flynn to the New York Knicks in exchange for RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, and a 2023 second-round pick (from Detroit). Both teams appeared to benefit from the deal as it addressed positional needs. The Raptors needed to find a future point guard, and the Knicks desperately needed a big, sharpshooting wing.
Both teams found their players, and it appeared as though Anunoby could have made the Knicks a serious contender. Who will come next? We’ve identified which players still need to be traded and which teams would gain the most from doing so.
