The start of the NBA's unofficial trading day on Dec. 15 is getting closer and closer, when 85 percent of NBA players will be able to get trades. Before the trade deadline on February 10, many teams will make adjustments and reinforcements. American media B/R (open-air stands) analysis pointed out that there are 7 teams in the NBA that urgently need to be reinforced through trades.
B/R analysis pointed out that the Pacers, 76ers, Kings, Lone Rangers, Lakers, Knicks and Trail Blazers will become the favorite teams in this trading period. They all have ample motivation to facilitate player trades.
For example, the Pacers, who have decided to trade Turner, Sabonis Jr. and other famous players, are about to enter the reconstruction phase. Ben Simmons of the 76ers has not played, and they have to find a way to reduce their losses. The Kings' sacking of the manager in less than 20 games in the opening season is a sign of their ambition to make a move in the trading market. The Lone Rangers didn't have a steady scoring point other than Doncic. Porzingis' play is still not reassuring, and they need to find a new scoring point.
As for the Lakers, everyone knows that this team is missing too much. They need a No. 5 player who can play small balls. They need better outside players. They need more shots. They need more 3D players. Unfortunately, the Lakers have very little room for maneuverability, and they can only trade a player with Tucker + Nunn to trade a player of about $18.2 million.
The Knicks are currently in 12th place in the East, and their operations in the offseason have failed. Walker dropped out of the rotation and Fournier dollars were integrated into the team. The Knicks are bound to make big moves during the trading period, and they may compete for Turner.
The Blazers are also in high demand for trades. After Lillard opened the ballad, the Blazers had little room to adjust. They will most likely send CJ away and simply dismantle the backcourt double-gun combination.
