The NBA season can feel at times like a whirlwind of drama, storylines, and narratives as teams either contend for a title or tank for a star. 

The offseason – arguably more so. Every offseason, teams make headline-grabbing moves in attempts to position themselves for future success – be it success in the playoffs or in lottery. This offseason, as always, NBA fans can expect to see some big names shift teams via trade. 

The trade market this year will feature some clear buyers, like the Mavericks, who may want more star power surrounding superstar Luka Doncic. But we also have some likely sellers, like the Utah Jazz, who may be ready to move on from their attempts to win with star duo of Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert. 

Further, there are some teams who will be question marks – will the Lakers look to add to or blow up their trio of stars? Will the Sacramento Kings take another swing at acquiring some talent to play alongside De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis?
