Chicago Bulls: Tomas Satoransky
The Chicago Bulls are hoping their decision to acquire Nikola Vucevic at this season’s trade deadline isn’t for naught. Chicago desires a playoff berth with their duo of Vucevic and Zach LaVine, but they’ll need to bolster the rest of the roster to achieve that.
First and foremost, the Bulls need to find a point guard that can excel alongside LaVine in the back court. With Chicago looking to improve their bench unit too, trading Tomas Satoransky may be able to inch them closer to getting a key role player. Satoransky’s versatility could make him an intriguing acquisition for certain teams as he enters his sixth season in the NBA, where he’ll be turning 30 years old.
Charlotte Hornets: Terry Rozier
It is evident that LaMelo Ball deserves to have the keys to the offense of the Charlotte Hornets after securing the league’s Rookie of the Year award. In his rookie campaign, Ball notched 15.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.6 steals per game while shooting 35.2 percent from beyond the arc.
Ball is a gifted playmaker and he’s at his best when he has the ball in his hands. In light of that, Terry Rozier could be put on the trade block for the Hornets. Rozier had a career year this season, averaging 20.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.4 steals per game on 38.9 percent shooting from three-point range.
Seeing that there are plenty of teams seeking a point guard this offseason, Rozier wouldn’t be hard to trade if Charlotte is willing to move on from him.
Cleveland Cavaliers: Kevin Love
Over the past few years, ever since LeBron James elected to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers, Kevin Love has been spoken about as a potential trade candidate. To the surprise of many, Love is still with the Cleveland Cavaliers, but his time in Ohio seems to be nearing a close (finally).

Some people believe Love may be bought out by Cleveland this offseason. But if the Cavaliers can find a trade partner for the veteran forward, then they’d be best getting whatever they can for him. Cleveland may be hoping that Love can have a productive time with Team USA in the Tokyo Olympics in hopes that it can improve his trade value.
