Big board: Top 25 players who could be dealt at NBA trade deadline
The NBA trade deadline is set for Thursday, February 5th at 3 p.m. ET, with 25 notable players highlighted as potentially available.
Giannis Antetokounmpo's future with the Milwaukee Bucks is a major topic due to reported frustrations, and while a trade would require a massive offer and is not driven by a trade request, his potential move could significantly alter a franchise.
Anthony Davis's recent injury raises concerns for the Dallas Mavericks, who are looking to reduce payroll and acquire draft assets to build around Cooper Flagg, but trading Davis presents significant challenges and risks.
Ja Morant's expensive contract and off-court issues have put his Memphis Grizzlies future in doubt, with the team reportedly considering trade offers for the first time, though there is no immediate urgency to deal him.
Zion Williamson has increased his trade value with strong post-injury play, but long-term fit concerns with Derik Queen and the structure of his contract make him a low-risk target, despite the New Orleans Pelicans reportedly denying his availability.
Lauri Markkanen, having a career year with the Utah Jazz, has been the subject of long-standing trade rumors, but the team may continue building around him unless an exceptional offer is presented, as they are not pursuing a full rebuild.
Domantas Sabonis is a highly sought-after asset for the directionless Sacramento Kings, who may undergo a major roster overhaul, with his remaining contract considered a valuable deal for a consistent double-double performer.
LaMelo Ball's future with the Charlotte Hornets is uncertain following the emergence of Kon Knueppel, and the remaining years on his max contract may be difficult to move, given the limited trade market for offensively skilled but defensively limited point guards.
