Since the start of the regular season, James Harden, RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam have joined new teams.
The trade that sent Anunoby to the New York Knicks was the first in December since 2019. But now the calendar has turned to January and the 2024 NBA trade deadline on Feb. 8 is fast approaching.
To help get you ready, we've broken down what to watch for all 15 teams in the Eastern Conference: What kind of moves they can make, what we're hearing, front office trade histories and trade restrictions to note.
We've also identified one trade we would like to see from each team between now and the deadline.
Our guide to the Western Conference will come Wednesday.
Note: Teams have $7.0 million cash to send out and receive in trades unless otherwise noted.

Atlanta Hawks
Trade meter: 9
What to watch: The entire roster
Nearly a full season since coach Quin Snyder took over, the Hawks' record under him is no better than under his predecessor Nate McMillan's. Atlanta is below .500 and has no identity outside of ranking near the bottom of the NBA in defensive efficiency.
It would be easy to point to roster turnover, but it remains the same as it was at the start of last season, aside from acquiring Saddiq Bey last February and then sending John Collins to Utah in a salary dump in July. Atlanta has been without its past two first-round picks, AJ Griffin and Kobe Bufkin, for all but two games (Griffin has not played because of personal reasons).
Considering the underwhelming on-court performance, no player on this roster should be deemed untouchable.
However, it is hard to see Atlanta trading the face of the franchise, Trae Young, or entertaining offers for the one bright spot on the roster, forward Jalen Johnson. Backup Onyeka Okongwu has a complicated poison-pill restriction but can be traded if the Hawks use their $23 million trade exception to acquire a player.
As ESPN senior insider Adrian Wojnarowski reported, the Hawks are actively exploring trades for Dejounte Murray.
It was only 18 months ago that the Hawks surrendered two unprotected first-round picks (2025, 2027) and an unprotected pick swap (2026) to acquire Murray from the San Antonio Spurs. Murray signed a four-year, $120 million extension last July. Despite that, it is hard to see the Hawks recouping the draft assets lost in the Spurs trade. Also, as part of the extension, Atlanta would owe Murray a league-high $13 million trade bonus.
Including Murray, Atlanta has 14 players with salaries ranging from $1.1 to $20 million but the Hawks cannot trade their own first-round pick until 2029 (they do have a 2024 first-round pick from Sacramento that they can trade). They also have a league high $23 million trade exception but are only $9.3 million below the luxury tax.
De'Andre Hunter is in the first year of a $90 million extension and is on pace to play fewer than 67 games for a fifth straight season. Bey will be a restricted free agent in July and starting center Clint Capela is averaging a double-double a seventh straight season.
Front office trade history: Since taking over in December 2022, general manager Landry Fields has been part of five trades. Two of those trades involved three or more teams.
Last regular-season trade: As part of a four-team trade with Detroit, Golden State and Portland, Atlanta acquired forward Saddiq Bey. The trade cost the Hawks five second-round picks (two are protected).
Trade we would like to see: Two different trades involving Murray. The first, sending him to Detroit for Bojan Bogdanovic, Marcus Sasser, a 2024 second (more favorable of Memphis and Washington), a 2027 second (least favorable of Brooklyn and Dallas) and a 2028 Detroit second. The other, sending him to New York for Evan Fournier, Quentin Grimes and a 2025 top-14 protected first.
Trade exceptions: $23 million, $2.5 million and $2.3 million
Cash available: $7.0 million (out) | $5.9 million (receive)
Salary info and restrictions
The Hawks are $9.7 million below the luxury tax.
Murray and Young have a 15% trade bonus. The Young bonus is voided because it exceeds the maximum salary this season. The Murray bonus is $13 million as of Feb. 8.
Okongwu has a poison-pill restriction. For trade purposes, $8.1 million is used as his outgoing salary and $14.0 million in incoming salary for an acquiring team.
Draft assets
Atlanta is allowed to swap its own first-round pick in 2024, 2028, 2029 and 2030.
The Hawks owe San Antonio an unprotected first-round pick in both 2025 and 2027.
The Spurs also have the right to swap firsts in 2026.
Atlanta has a top-14 protected first-round pick from Sacramento in 2024 (top-12 protected in 2025 and top-10 protected in 2026). It will turn into 2026 and 2027 second-round picks if not conveyed by the Kings.
The Hawks are allowed to trade the Kings' first-round pick and their own first-round pick in 2029 or 2030.
Atlanta has five second-round picks available to trade.
Draft rights to trade: Marcus Eriksson.
Boston Celtics
Trade meter: 4
What to watch: The $6.2 million trade exception, open roster spot, luxury tax and guard Payton Pritchard
The Celtics have the fifth-highest payroll in the NBA but have resources to target a 3-and-D wing while not sending out a player.
Boston has a $6.2 million trade exception from the Grant Williams sign-and-trade that could be used to fill its open roster spot. Using the full exception would cost Boston an additional $22.5 million toward the luxury. Boston is already projected to pay a $39 million penalty. In the prior two seasons, ownership has paid a combined $110 million in luxury tax penalties.
Because the Celtics are a projected second-apron team in 2024-25, the trade exception will become unavailable starting with the first day of the offseason. This will also be the last time Boston can send out cash in a trade.
Besides the ability to trade up to three of their own firsts, the Celtics have eight tradable second-round picks available.
However, putting together a trade package presents a challenge.
The Celtics top six players (all earning between $10 million and $37 million) are off the table in trade discussions, leaving Boston with seven players earning less than $2 million. Pritchard has a $4 million salary but because he signed an extension in the offseason, his salary counts as $6.8 million for the acquiring team. Because of their finances, the Celtics also cannot take more than 110% in salary.
Front office trade history: Brad Stevens has made 15 trades, six during the regular season. Stevens is not afraid to upgrade the roster at the expense of draft assets. In four separate trades, Boston acquired Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue Holiday, Al Horford and Derrick White. The costs were five first-round picks, one second and a first-round pick swap.
Last regular-season trade: Traded Justin Jackson and two second-round picks to Oklahoma City for Mike Muscala. The trade increased the Celtics luxury tax payment by $6.4 million.
Trade we would like to see: 2024 second (via Dallas) and 2027 second (Atlanta) to New Orleans for Naji Marshall.
Trade exceptions: $6.2 million and $1.8 million
Cash available: $7.0 million (out) | $7.0 million (receive)
Salary info and restrictions
The Celtics are $18.2 million over the luxury tax and have an open roster spot. They are projected to pay a $39.1 million penalty.
Boston has the 110% Traded Player Exception to use when acquiring players in a trade.
Payton Pritchard has a poison-pill restriction. For trade purposes, $4.0 million is used as his outgoing salary and $6.8 million in incoming salary for an acquiring team.
Al Horford has a $500K trade bonus.
Jayson Tatum has a 15% trade bonus of the amount left on his contract. The bonus is $2.8 million as of Feb. 8.
Jaylen Brown is not allowed to be traded this season because he signed a supermax contract.
Boston is not allowed to sign a player waived during the season that had a preexisting salary in 2023-24 greater than $12.4M.
Draft assets
Boston is allowed to trade a maximum of two firsts in the next four years (2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, but not in back-to-back years).
Boston has the right to swap firsts in every season except 2028 (the Spurs already have swap rights if 2-30) and in 2029.
The Celtics owe Portland a 2029 first.
They have eight second-round picks available.
Draft rights to trade: Juhann Begarin and Yam Madar.
Brooklyn Nets
Trade meter: 8
What to watch: Point guard, trade exceptions and draft capital
Since trading Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant last February, Brooklyn has been below .500. The record and the Nets' position in the play-in race would suggest trading away players at the deadline for future draft assets. However, the Rockets control the Nets' first-round pick in the next four years (a result of the 2021 James Harden trade), so there is no incentive for the Nets to bottom out. Still, that does not mean that Brooklyn should take a conservative approach at the deadline.
The Nets have seven players on expiring contracts, including Spencer Dinwiddie, Nic Claxton and Royce O'Neale.
Brooklyn also has a league-high seven trade exceptions, including two for $19.9 million and $18.1 million. Both exceptions do not expire until July and there is no urgency to use them prior to the deadline. The Nets are likely over the salary cap next season, and both exceptions are a valuable roster resource.
Despite Brooklyn being restricted from trading its own first-round pick until 2028, the Nets have five future firsts from Dallas, Phoenix and Philadelphia, including four that are unprotected (2025, 2027, 2028 and 2029).
Considering Brooklyn went all-in with Harden, Durant and Irving, would the Nets do the same if another All-Star caliber player became available?
One question Brooklyn will eventually need to address is who the starting point guard is next season.
Dinwiddie and Dennis Smith Jr. are both free agents, leaving them with no point guard on the roster except Ben Simmons. Since the 2020-21 season, Simmons has played 48 games and is unreliable because of his injury history. His $37.9 million salary (he is also owed $40.3 million next year) is 25% of the Nets' payroll this season.
One player who is not available is Mikal Bridges.
As Wojnarowski reported, the Nets' front office goal is to build around Bridges, not trade away their best player. Bridges is one of the NBA's top two-way players and has two years left on his contract after the season.
Front office trade history: Sean Marks is no stranger to orchestrating regular-season blockbuster trades. Last season, Marks traded Irving and Durant in two separate deals. In January 2021, Brooklyn traded for a past MVP in Harden. In total, Marks has made 31 trades since he took over in 2016, 11 during the regular season.
Last regular-season trade: Traded Durant to Phoenix for a package that included Bridges, Cameron Johnson, four first-round picks and a pick swap in 2028.
Trade we would like to see: Two different trades involving Dinwiddie. First, sending him and a 2025 first-round pick (from Phoenix, top-14 protected) to Portland for Malcolm Brogdon. Or sending Dinwiddie, a 2025 first-round pick (from Phoenix, top-10 protected), a 2026 second (from BKN) and a 2029 second (from DAL) to Atlanta for Dejounte Murray.
Trade exceptions: $19.9 million, $18.1 million, $6.8 million, $4.5 million, $1.8 million and $1.6 million
Cash available: $7.0 million (out) | $6.9 million (receive)
Salary info and restrictions
Brooklyn is $8 million below the luxury tax.
Draft assets
The Nets owe Houston unprotected first-round picks in 2024 and 2026. The Rockets have the right to swap in 2025 and 2027.
The Nets have an unprotected first from Phoenix in 2025, 2027 and 2029. They also have the right to swap firsts with the Suns in 2028.
The Nets own a top-8 protected first from Philadelphia in 2027 or 2028.
They also have an unprotected 2029 Dallas first.
Besides the draft capital acquired in previous trades, they are allowed to trade or swap their 2028, 2029 or 2030 first.
They have six second-round picks available.
Draft rights: Juan Vaulet, David Michineau, Nikola Milutinov, Aaron White and Nemanja Dangubic.
Charlotte Hornets
Recent transaction: Traded Terry Rozier to Miami for Kyle Lowry and either a 2027 top-14 protected first or unprotected first in 2028.
Trade meter: 9
What to watch: Owners Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall
It is not often we highlight owners when examining what to watch at the trade deadline, but Plotkin and Schnall are in their first year of owning the Hornets and continuing to evaluate all facets of basketball operations, including the roster.
The evaluation starts with Miles Bridges and Gordon Hayward.
Bridges pleaded no contest to felony domestic violence in November 2022 and did not play last season. He was suspended 30 games (20 was credited toward 2022-23) and then signed a one-year, $7.9 million qualifying offer after contract negotiations stalled.
Bridges is averaging 20 points, but the Hornets need to weigh whether they are willing to reward him with a lucrative contract in the offseason. Because he signed a one-year contract, Bridges can veto any trade, and his Bird rights do not transfer if he is moved. For example, a team acquiring Bridges could re-sign him using cap space or would be limited to a starting salary of $9.5 million or the $12.4 million non-taxpayer midlevel exception if available.
Hayward is on an expiring $31.5 million salary and was averaging 14.5 points before injuring his left calf in late December. He has failed to play in 50 games or more since he signed with Charlotte in 2019.
Charlotte has $86 million in salary committed in 2024-25 and is in a position to take back contracts from teams looking to shed salary if a draft pick is attached.
Ownership also has to decide whether general manager Mitch Kupchak has full authority to turn over the roster.
For example, what happens if the cost to acquire Bulls guard Zach LaVine is Hayward and a future first? Are the Hornets owners comfortable taking on the $138 million owed in the future if the plan is to reshape the front office?
Charlotte has not reached the playoffs since Kupchak took over in 2018. The Hornets were a play-in team in 2020-21 and 2021-22.
Front office trade history: Kupchak is one of the more conservative executives when it comes to turning over his roster. Since taking over in April 2018, Kupchak has been part of 10 trades, with only four during the regular season.
Last regular-season trade: Last February, Charlotte traded Mason Plumlee to the LA Clippers for Reggie Jackson and a 2028 second-round pick. Jackson was eventually bought out of his contract. The Hornets also traded Jalen McDaniels to Philadelphia as part of a four-team, six-player trade. Charlotte received Svi Mykhailiuk and two second-round picks.
Trade we would like to see: Two separate trades. Bridges to Utah for Talen Horton-Tucker and two seconds. Hayward to Golden State for Andrew Wiggins and Gary Payton II.
Trade exceptions: $1.9 million
Cash available: $7.0 million (out) | $7.0 million (receive)
Salary info and restrictions
The Hornets are $5.9 million over the salary cap.
Bridges has a one-year Bird restriction and can veto any trade.
Lowry can be traded but not aggregated with other contracts.
LaMelo Ball has a poison-pill restriction. For trade purposes, $10.9 million is used as his outgoing salary and $36.2 million in incoming salary for an acquiring team.
Hayward has a 15% trade bonus of the remaining salary owed on his $31.5 million contract this season.
Draft assets
The Hornets owe San Antonio a top-14 protected first in 2024. The pick is top-14 protected in 2025. If the first is not conveyed, San Antonio will receive 2025 and 2026 second-round picks.
The Hornets are allowed to trade their 2027, 2028, 2029 or 2030 first.
They can swap firsts in every season except 2024 and 2025.
The Hornets have a 2027 top-14 protected first from Miami. The pick becomes unprotected in 2028.
Charlotte has seven second-round picks available.
Draft rights: James Nnaji and Tyler Harvey.
Chicago Bulls
Trade meter: 8
What to watch: Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Alex Caruso
Let's first start with breaking the Bulls' decisions at the deadline into two categories: LaVine and everyone else.
The Bulls recently announced that LaVine will undergo surgery on his right foot and is out four to six months.
Before injuring his right foot, the trade market for LaVine was close to non-existent because of the $138 million left on his contract after this season. The Bulls will likely have to wait until the offseason when LaVine recovers before a decision is made on his future.
DeRozan is on pace to average at least 20 points for an 11th straight season but is set to be a free agent if the Bulls do not extend him by June 30. The 34-year old is eligible for three more seasons and up to $129 million.
Chicago could certainly hold on to him past the deadline and look to work out a new contract leading up to or during free agency. There is also the risk of the Bulls losing him for nothing if he is on roster past February 8.
Caruso was named All-NBA Defensive Team in 2023 and has one the best value contracts in the NBA, earning $9.5 million this year and $9.9 million ($3 million is guaranteed) in 2024-25.
He is extension eligible in the offseason and there should be no urgency to move off his contract unless a team is willing to surrender multiple first-round picks or young players on a controllable contract.
Front office trade history: Arturas Karnisovas was hired in April 2020 and began transforming the roster. In a 16-month period, Karnisovas and his front office made six trades, including acquiring DeRozan, Ball and Nikola Vucevic. However, since Chicago traded Lauri Markkanen to Cleveland in August 2021, the Bulls have not made a trade involving a player. They did trade two future seconds to Washington for the draft rights to Julian Phillips.
Last regular-season trade: It has been almost three years since the Bulls made a regular-season trade. In March 2021, Chicago traded Wendell Carter Jr., Otto Porter Jr. and two first-round picks to Orlando for Vucevic and Al-Farouq Aminu.
Trade we would like to see: LaVine to Charlotte for Gordon Hayward, Nick Richards, and two 2028 second-round picks (CHA and LAC).
Trade exceptions: $10.2 million Disabled Player
Cash available: $7.0 million (out) | $7.0 million (receive)
Salary info and restrictions
Chicago has an open roster spot.
The Bulls are $1.7 million below the luxury tax and $6.4 million below the first apron.
Chicago is not allowed to exceed the first apron in any transaction.
LaVine has a 15% trade bonus that is valued at $2.2 million.
Draft assets
The Bulls owe San Antonio a top-10 protected first in 2025. That pick is also top-8 protected in 2026 and 2027.
Chicago can trade a first, but two years after the pick to San Antonio is conveyed.
They are allowed to swap their own first in 2024, 2028, 2029 or 2030.
The Trail Blazers owe Chicago a first-round pick that is top-14 protected in the next five seasons. If the first is not conveyed by 2028, Portland will send a 2028 second-round pick.
Chicago has two second-round picks available to trade.
Draft rights: None
Cleveland Cavaliers
Trade meter: 4
What to watch: Craig Porter, buyout players and Donovan Mitchell
Back on Dec. 15, Cleveland was 13-12 and had just lost starters Darius Garland and Evan Mobley for an extended period of time.
The injuries and underachieving play had non-Cleveland team executives asking if it was time for the Cavaliers to be proactive and start fielding calls on Donovan Mitchell. The four-time All-Star bypassed signing an extension this past offseason and can be an unrestricted free agent in 2025. He is eligible to sign a four-year, $200 million extension starting on July 6.
But considering how much Cleveland gave up in the trade for Mitchell with Utah -- three unprotected firsts (2025, 2027, 2029), a pick swap in 2028 and multiple players to Utah -- exploring trade offers now is premature and any conversations regarding his future should be in the offseason.
Ricky Rubio's retirement and buyout has given Cleveland flexibility to sign two players and remain below the luxury tax.
One of those players should be two-way player Craig Porter Jr. The undrafted guard has scored double-digit points in eight games and has 10 games with four assists or more. Cleveland has $3.6 million of its non-taxpayer midlevel exception available and can sign Porter for up to four seasons.
Unless the Cavaliers want to take offers for Isaac Okoro and Dean Wade, their trade options are limited -- Cleveland cannot trade a first, has seven seconds and goes 12-deep with its roster. The only two players who have not seen rotational minutes this season are Damian Jones and Ty Jerome. Jerome injured his ankle in late October and has played only two games.
The Cavaliers are also dealing with Tristan Thompson's 25-game suspension for violating the NBA's Anti-Drug policy. Combined with the injury to Evan Mobley, Cleveland is left with Jarrett Allen, Dean Wade and Damian Jones as its lone bigs.
Thompson will be moved to the suspended list on Feb. 2, creating a third open roster spot.
Front office trade history: Last season, Koby Altman did not make an in-season trade for the first time since 2017. Prior to that, Altman was part of 13 trades during the regular season, including acquiring Caris LeVert and Jarrett Allen in back-to-back seasons.
Last regular-season trade: In February 2022, Cleveland traded Rubio, a 2022 top-14 protected first and two seconds to Indiana for LeVert. The first did not convey and Indiana eventually received a 2023 first (resulted in Ben Sheppard) from the Cavaliers.
Trade we would like to see: Jones, 2025 second (own), 2027 second (via Denver) to Memphis for Xavier Tillman.
Trade exceptions: None
Cash available: $5.9 million (out) | $7.0 million (receive)
Salary info and restrictions
The Cavaliers have two roster spots open.
Cleveland is $3.4 million below the luxury tax. The Cavaliers are $10.2 million below the first apron and cannot exceed the threshold.
Garland has a 15% trade bonus that is voided because it would exceed the maximum salary allowed.
Draft assets
Cleveland cannot trade a first but can trade swap rights in 2024 and 2030.
The Cavaliers owe three first-round picks (2025, 2027 and 2029) to Utah. The Jazz also have the right to swap firsts in 2028.
Cleveland has seven second-round picks available to use in a trade.
Draft rights: Khalifa Diop, Luke Travers and Arturas Gudaitis.
Detroit Pistons
Recent transaction: Traded Marvin Bagley III, Isaiah Livers and two seconds to Washington for Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala
Trade meter: 9
What to watch: Bogdan Bogdanovic, Alec Burks, Monte Morris and cap space
We are not going to dwell on the Pistons' injuries, missed opportunities in the draft, questionable trades, two winning seasons since 2007-08 and most recently, a 28-game losing streak. All of that is in the past.
What we are going to do is address how Detroit can begin the process of fixing its roster, starting with the deadline.
The first step is addressing the value of cap space in the offseason versus trading expiring contracts (Alec Burks, Joe Harris, Monte Morris, Killian Hayes and James Wiseman, for example) for salary that extends past this season or pending free agents whom Detroit would be intent on re-signing. The second is to start identifying shooters who complement Cade Cunningham.
Detroit could have $62 million in room and attempt to mirror what the Rockets accomplished last offseason when they signed Fred VanVleet, Dillon Brooks and Jeff Green. Houston won 22 games in 2022-23 and is now competing for a playoff spot.
But that is a tall task considering top-level free agents rarely switch teams and Detroit would have to overpay. Also, Harris, Morris, Hayes and Wiseman have little value in trades unless the Pistons are going to include draft compensation or even one of their younger players like Ausar Thompson or Marcus Sasser. Burks is averaging 12.7 points, shooting 40.3% from 3 and would give a playoff team additional bench scoring. Detroit owes New York a first-round pick that is protected over the next four years, and removing or even lowering the protection would be reckless.
"We want to be aggressive now," general manager Troy Weaver said on "The Woj Pod." "Does it mean we're going to make big deals? I don't know. But we're going to be aggressive in trying to improve this roster."
Trading veteran Bojan Bogdanovic does not improve the roster, but it likely brings back draft capital that Detroit does not have. Bogdanovic, 34, missed 19 games to start the season and is averaging 20 points for a second consecutive season. He has a $19 million salary next season, but only $2 million is guaranteed.
"The pieces [of the entire roster] fitting together -- that's still to be determined," Weaver said. "[Jaden] Ivey starting in the backcourt with Cade is starting to be really productive. Ausar Thompson, who is a Swiss Army knife, started off great and now is trying to find his way back -- we think he fits. ... The fit is to be determined, but Cade and [Jalen] Duren fit, and top athletes with Ivey and Ausar absolutely [do]. I think the young core, and [Isaiah] Stewart and what he brings, those guys fit."
Front office trade history: General manager Troy Weaver has made 21 trades since taking over in 2020, including six during the regular season. From the 21 trades, Detroit has acquired 14 second-round picks and one first (rights to Jalen Duren).
Last regular-season trade: Besides the recent trade with Washington, Detroit acquired James Wiseman from Golden State as part of four-team trade. The Pistons sent forward Saddiq Bey to Atlanta.
Trade we would like to see: Burks and Morris to Golden State for Andrew Wiggins and a 2028 second from Atlanta.
Trade exceptions: $5.7 million
Cash available: $6.9 million (out) | $7.0 million (receive)
Salary info and restrictions
Detroit is right at the $136 million salary cap.
Isaiah Stewart has a poison-pill restriction. For trade purposes, $5.3 million is used as his outgoing salary and $13.1 million in incoming salary for an acquiring team.
Kevin Knox II cannot be traded until Feb. 8.
Gallinari and Muscala cannot be aggregated in another trade.
Draft assets
Detroit owes New York a top-18 protected first-round pick in 2024. The pick has top-12 protection in 2025, top-10 in 2026 and top-9 in 2027.
The Pistons can trade a first-round pick two years after the first to New York is conveyed.
The Pistons have six second-round picks available to trade.
Draft rights: Gabriele Procida.
Indiana Pacers
Recent transaction: Traded Bruce Brown; Jordan Nwora; Kira Lewis Jr.; 2024 first-round pick (own); 2024 first-round pick -- the lesser of Oklahoma City, Utah (if 11-30), Houston (if 5-30) and Clippers; and 2026 first-round pick (own, top-4 protected) to Toronto for Pascal Siakam. The Pacers sent cash to New Orleans for Lewis and a 2024 second-round pick (the lesser of New Orleans or Chicago).
Trade meter: 7
What to watch: Buddy Hield and Obi Toppin
The Pacers upgraded their roster with the Siakam trade. Now the question turns to the futures of Hield and Toppin.
With the addition of Siakam and Tyrese Haliburton's extension, the Pacers payroll could increase to $152 million next season, $20 million below the luxury tax. If Haliburton earns All-NBA, the Pacers salary would increase to $159 million.
Hield is on an expiring $19.3 million salary, averaging 13.0 points and shooting 39.1% from 3. What type of message does it send to the locker room if Hield is traded for draft compensation and not a player who can help now?
Toppin is also on an expiring contract, but unlike Hield, Indiana can tender him a one-year qualifying offer, making him a restricted free agent. He is averaging career highs in minutes, points and field goal percentage. However, with the addition of Siakam, last year's first-round pick Jarace Walker and now the potential of a high payroll in 2024-25, he could be the odd man out.
Front office trade history: Kevin Pritchard and his front office have reshaped the roster, acquiring Siakam, Haliburton, Hield, Aaron Nesmith, Jalen Smith and Toppin in six separate trades. Seven out of the 19 trades Indiana has made with Pritchard in charge occurred during the regular season, including the Haliburton blockbuster with Sacramento in 2022.
Last regular-season trade: The Siakam trade with Toronto.
Trade we would like to see: Hield to Orlando for Gary Harris, Chuma Okeke and a 2025 second-rounder from Denver (if 6-30).
Trade exceptions: None
Cash available: $6.9 million (out) | $7.0 million (receive)
Salary info and restrictions
The Pacers are $4.6 million over the salary cap and have an open roster spot.
Haliburton and Nesmith have poison-pill restrictions in their contracts. For trade purposes, Nesmith counts as $5.0 million in outgoing salary and $13.1 million in incoming salary for an acquiring team.
Smith has a 10% trade bonus valued at $192K.
Haliburton has a 15% trade bonus.
Siakam cannot be aggregated with another contract.
Draft assets
The Pacers will send Toronto their own first in 2024 (top-3 protected) and 2026 (top-4 protected). If the first is not sent in 2024, Indiana will send two second-round picks. The first is top-4 protected in 2027 if not conveyed in the prior season.
The Pacers are allowed to trade a first two years after the second pick to Toronto is conveyed.
Indiana can also trade swap rights to firsts in 2025, 2028, 2029 and 2030.
Indiana has seven second-round picks available to trade.
Draft rights: Mojave King.
Miami Heat
Recent transaction: Traded Kyle Lowry and a first-round pick to Charlotte for Terry Rozier. Miami already owes Oklahoma City a 2025 top-14 protected first that is unprotected in 2026 if not conveyed. The Hornets will receive a top-14 protected first from the Heat in 2027 if the first to OKC is conveyed in 2025 or an unprotected 2028 first if the first to the Thunder is conveyed in 2026.
Trade meter: 8
What to watch: Finances
The addition of Rozier not only helps the Heat on the court, but also gives them significant luxury tax savings ($15.4M) and financial flexibility below the second apron.
The Heat are now $6.3 million below the apron and can take an aggressive approach with their four trade exceptions ($9.5 million, $7.2 million, $6.5 million and $4.7 million). They could also sign a player to their last roster spot and not be considered a second apron team in the offseason.
Miami is allowed to aggregate contracts and include cash in a trade. However, if the next disgruntled All-Star becomes available in June, the Heat would likely not be able to make a blockbuster trade unless Jimmy Butler or Bam Adebayo is involved.
The Heat could duck back under the second apron starting July 1, assuming they do not trade Lowry's expiring contract for deals that extend into next season.
If the Heat front office wanted to ensure that, it means they couldn't trade for Hornets guard Terry Rozier, for example.
Rozier helps the roster now but comes with a $24.9 million price tag next season. The Heat have $159 million in committed salary and would be pushed up against the second apron in 2024-25.
Front-office trade history: The Heat have made a trade in seven consecutive regular seasons. Before the Rozier trade, the last basketball related move was in March 2021 when Miami acquired Victor Oladipo, Maurice Harkless and Trevor Ariza.
Last regular-season trade: Acquiring Rozier from Charlotte
Trade we would like to see: None, after the Rozier trade
Trade exceptions: $9.5 million, $7.2 million, $6.5 million and $4.7 million
Cash available: $7.0 million (out) | $6.9 million (receive)
Salary info and restrictions
Miami has an open roster spot.
The Heat are $8.7 million over the luxury tax. They are projected to pay a $13.9 million tax penalty.
Kevin Love has a one-year Bird restriction and veto power on any trade.
Rozier can be traded but not aggregated with other contracts.
Butler and Caleb Martin have 15% trade bonuses. As of Feb. 8, the bonus for Butler is $4.8 million and Martin's is $392K.
The Heat are not allowed to sign a player waived during the season who had a preexisting salary in 2023-24 greater than $12.4M.
Draft assets
The Heat owe Oklahoma City a top-14 protected first-round pick in 2025. The first is unprotected in 2026 if not conveyed in the prior season.
Miami will send Charlotte a 2027 top-14 protected first-round pick (if the first to OKC is conveyed in 2025). The Hornets will receive an unprotected 2028 first if Miami sends the Thunder a first in 2026.
Miami can trade one first-round pick: 2030.
They can trade swap rights to firsts in 2029 and 2030.
The Heat have two second-round picks available to trade.
Draft rights: None
Milwaukee Bucks
Recent transaction: Fired head coach Adrian Griffin and hired Doc Rivers.
Trade meter: 5
What to watch: The buyout players and pick swaps
Giannis Antetokounmpo is aware that improvement from the current roster will come from within and not another trade.
"We have to be better. We have to play better, we have to defend better, we have to trust one another better, we have to be coached better," Antetokounmpo said after losing to Houston on Jan. 6. "Every single thing, everybody has to be better. It starts from the equipment manager -- he has to wash our clothes better. The bench has to be better, the leaders of the team have to be more vocal, we have to make more shots, we have to defend better, we have to have a better strategy, we have to be better."
Milwaukee is a championship contender with Damian Lillard but a defense that once ranked among the league's best now ranks 22nd. Opponents are scoring 116.9 points per 100 possessions -- last year that number was 110.9.
Will that change with Doc Rivers now in charge?
The Bucks' roster is top heavy in salary with Antetokounmpo, Lillard, Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez earning a combined $134 million this season. The rest of the roster consists of Bobby Portis, Pat Connaughton and a group of nine players with salaries ranging from $1.1 to $2.6 million. There are no draft assets to trade except for two second-rounders. One is from Portland in this year's draft, and the second is projected in the 31-35 range. Milwaukee has to be careful moving the asset in a trade considering the roster restrictions it faces in the offseason.
The Bucks owe first-round pick swaps to New Orleans (2024 and 2026) and Portland (2028 and 2030). However, as we saw with the Suns last offseason, Milwaukee can trade swap rights on those picks again, swapping the less favorable of their own and either New Orleans-Portland with a third team.
For example, The Bucks could trade 2026 swap rights to a third team, which would be able to swap its first-round pick for the less favorable of the Milwaukee pick and the New Orleans pick.
Barring such a trade, the only roster help on the way is a healthy Jae Crowder, trust in each other and perhaps a veteran player bought out of his contract prior to March 1. The Bucks are over the second apron but are allowed to sign a player waived during the regular season if his preexisting salary was lower than $12.4 million.
As Antetokounmpo said: "We have four months to get better, so we'll see."
Front office trade history: In the past five regular seasons, general manager Jon Horst has added Crowder, Serge Ibaka, P.J. Tucker, Eric Bledsoe, George Hill and Nikola Mirotic in five separate trades during the regular season.
Last regular-season trade: Acquired Crowder from Phoenix as part of the Kevin Durant trade. The Bucks sent out five second-round picks in the trade.
Trade we would like to see: Pat Connaughton and Portland's 2024 second-round pick to Brooklyn for Royce O'Neale.
Trade exceptions: None
Cash available: $7.0 million (out) | $7.0 million (receive)
Salary info and restrictions
The Bucks are $18.4 million over the luxury tax. They are projected to pay a $58.2 million tax penalty.
Antetokounmpo cannot be traded.
Thanasis Antetokounmpo and Crowder have one-year Bird restrictions. Either player has the right to veto any trade.
Portis has a 15% trade bonus that is $2.5 million as of Feb. 8.
Draft assets
Milwaukee is not allowed to trade or swap any first.
The Bucks owe a 2025 first to New Orleans (if 1-4) or to New York (if 5-30), 2027 first to New Orleans and 2029 first to Portland.
In addition, the Pelicans have the right to swap firsts in 2024 and 2026.
The Trail Blazers have the right to swap firsts in 2028 (if the first Portland owes to Chicago doesn't convey that year) and in 2030.
The Bucks have two second-round picks available.
Draft rights: Hugo Besson
New York Knicks
Recent trade: The Knicks acquired OG Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa and Malachi Flynn from Toronto for RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and a 2024 second-rounder (via Detroit)
Trade meter: 7
What to watch: Evan Fournier and first-round draft picks.
Outside of Oklahoma City, there is no playoff team positioned better at the deadline than New York.
The trade to acquire Anunoby not only improved the product on the court but left New York with a full complement of tradable contracts and draft capital to strengthen the roster or go star chasing if one becomes available.
The Knicks can trade up to eight first-round picks and nine second-round picks. They can also do first-round pick swaps in seven years, have two sizable trade exceptions and Fournier's tradable contract. Fournier has played only two games this season but carries a $18.9 million contract and a $19 million team option next season. A team acquiring Fournier has no salary obligation outside of what is owed this season.
More importantly, the Anunoby trade has also given the Knicks flexibility below the luxury tax this season to add salary in a trade. New York is one of seven teams (Detroit, Orlando, San Antonio, Toronto, Utah and Washington) that do not have a player earning more than $30 million.
With Anunoby, Isaiah Hartenstein and Achiuwa as pending free agents, New York could be pushed up against the luxury tax if all three are kept and Fournier's $19 million team option is exercised (which the Knicks could do to use him in a trade this offseason or next season). New York would have a big expiring contract to work with this offseason if Fournier is retained. If the option is declined, the only sizable contracts on the books are Jalen Brunson, Julius Randle, Mitchell Robinson and Josh Hart.
The direction is dependent if there is a need to add another veteran guard with the departure of Quickley. New York recently signed Miles McBride to a three-year $13 million extension but he has played a total of only 20 minutes in the playoffs.
There is also the question if New York should strengthen its frontcourt with players that can stretch the floor or a backup center. Besides starters Randle and Hartenstein, the Knicks' frontcourt reserves are Jericho Sims and Achiuwa. Hartenstein played all 82 games last season and is on pace to play the most minutes in his career this season.
Front office trade history: Leon Rose has made six regular-season trades since he took over in 2020.
Last regular-season trade: Besides the Anunoby trade this season, New York acquired Hart last February as part of a four-team, six-player trade. As part of the trade, New York sent a 2023 top-14 protected first to the Trail Blazers.
Trade we would like to see: Two different trades involving Fournier. Fournier, 2025 Brooklyn second, 2027 own second to Utah for Kelly Olynyk. Or Fournier and the same seconds to Toronto for Bruce Brown.
Trade exceptions: $6.8 and $5.2 million
Cash available: $7.0 million (out) | $7.0 million (receive)
Salary info and restrictions
New York is $6.0 million below the luxury tax and has an open roster spot. The Knicks are $10.8 million below the first apron and cannot exceed the threshold.
The contracts of Anunoby, Flynn and Achiuwa cannot be aggregated in a trade.
Hart signed an extension in the offseason and cannot be traded.
Brunson, Hartenstein and Randle have trade bonuses. As of Feb. 8, the bonus for Brunson is $7.7 million, Randle's is $12.6 million and Hartenstein's is $158K.
Draft assets
The Knicks have their own first-round pick in the next seven years.
They have a top-10 protected first from Dallas in 2024 or 2025.
In addition, New York has protected firsts from Detroit, Washington and Milwaukee.
The Pistons' first is top-18 protected in 2024, top-13 protected in 2025, top-11 protected in 2026 and top-9 protected in 2027.
The Wizards' first is top-12 protected in 2024, top-10 protected in 2025 and top-8 protected in 2026.
The first from Milwaukee is top-4 protected in 2025.
New York has 11 second-round picks available to use in a trade.
Draft rights: Daniel Diez, Nikola Radicevic and Zhelin Wang.
Orlando Magic
Trade meter: 6
What to watch: Markelle Fultz, Gary Harris and Wendell Carter Jr.
Three years after tearing down their roster, the Magic are in a position to make trades to improve the on-court product this season.
Orlando is a play-in team at the very minimum and has the roster resources to add shooting without skipping the steps of player development.
Per Cleaning the Glass, Orlando ranks 27th in field goal percentage for mid-range shots outside of 14 feet, 28th in corner 3s and 27th in three-point field goal percentage. The Magic are 12-6 in games when they shoot better than 35.0% from 3.
The Magic have the expiring contracts of Harris ($13 million) and Fultz ($19 million) available to trade. Fultz was the starter in the beginning of the season before missing two months with a left knee injury.
Harris shot a career-high 43.1% from 3 last season but has struggled this season, hitting only 33.3% from deep. He is the second-oldest player on the roster and there needs to be careful consideration of trading a veteran presence.
Carter was the starting center before he fractured his left finger on Nov. 2 and missed 20 games. He returned in late December but missed two games in January with knee tendonitis. His replacement, Goga Bitadze, averaged 7.0 points and 6.5 rebounds.
Carter is on a descending contract ($13 million, $11.9 million and $10.9 million) and unless Orlando is getting his replacement or a perimeter player on a controllable contract, he should be on the roster past the deadline.
Front office trade history: The retooling of the Magic roster started in March 2021 when Aaron Gordon, Nikola Vucevic and Evan Fournier were traded in three separate deals. Orlando received Carter, Harris and three first-round picks. Two of the firsts resulted in starter Franz Wagner and rookie Jett Howard.
Last regular-season trade: Traded Mo Bamba to the Lakers for Patrick Beverley and a 2024 second-round pick.
Trade we would like to see: Two separate trades. The Magic send Harris and the 2025 Denver first to Sacramento for Kevin Huerter. Orlando receives Jonas Valanciunas and Dyson Daniels from New Orleans for Carter and Okeke.
Trade exceptions: None
Cash available: $7.0 million (out) | $7.0 million (receive)
Salary info and restrictions
The Magic are $5.1 million below the salary cap.
Cole Anthony has a poison-pill restriction. For trade purposes, $5.5 million is used as his outgoing salary and $11.1 million in incoming salary for an acquiring team.
Draft assets
The Magic have their own first-round picks in the next seven years.
Orlando will receive a 2025 top-5 protected first from Denver. The pick is top-5 protected in 2026 and 2027.
Orlando has the right to swap its 2026 first for the less favorable of the Suns' and Wizards' picks.
The Magic have 12 second-round picks available to trade.
Draft rights: Janis Timma and Fran Vazquez.
Philadelphia 76ers
Trade meter: 9
What to watch: Daryl Morey
The James Harden trade has given 76ers president Daryl Morey options at the trade deadline.
"We're really excited for what this trade brings as well in terms of our ability to keep improving the team going forward, both in the draft capital we got that we thought was extremely important for our ability to keep improving and being a championship-caliber team," Morey said after the deal was finalized. "Very encouraged that we were able to get what we had set a bar in June, when James requested the trade and said, 'Look, if we can get it to here, that should be what generally allows you to go out and get a [star] player.'"
But Morey also has to factor in the injury to Joel Embiid and how aggressive Philadelphia should be at the deadline. Embiid is set to undergo a procedure to repair a left meniscus injury and a timeline will be given after the surgery. Philadelphia is 4-10 in games Embiid has missed this season.
By getting two first-round picks and a swap in the Harden deal, Morey now has three tradable first-round picks, three first-round swaps and six second-round picks at his disposal in deals -- plus more than $100 million in expiring contracts.
The options Morey can choose from consist of trading for a star, trading for multiple smaller pieces or waiting until the summer.
Morey has made 81 trades in his career (second only to Sam Presti in Oklahoma City in that time) and has not been afraid to swing for the fences. He has traded for Harden (twice), Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook.
However, as the clock ticks toward Feb. 8, will any star players become available?
Trading for multiple players is how the Denver Nuggets built their championship roster. In two separate deals (2021 and 2022), Denver traded for Aaron Gordon and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. The trades cost Denver only one draft pick: a 2025 top-5 protected first to Orlando in the Gordon trade.
If a trade does not materialize or the price is too rich, Philadelphia could have as much as $55 million in projected cap space next summer, with only Joel Embiid, Paul Reed, Jaden Springer and Tyrese Maxey's $13 million cap hold on the books, giving the 76ers a chance at landing a star in the summertime. Philadelphia would also now have five tradable firsts available (its 2024 and 2031 firsts would be added to the three they can trade now).
Taking this path however, has plenty of risks. First, to create that cap space requires renouncing the rights to every other player on the roster.
Additionally, it is far from a guarantee that Philadelphia will get the kind of player it hopes. While the names of potential free agents Paul George, Jrue Holiday, Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby all sound appealing, recent history has shown that high-level free agents do not change teams or even enter free agency. Kawhi Leonard, for example, recently signed a contract extension with the Clippers, taking him off the board.
Adding a max player in free agency would leave the 76ers in a position like the Bucks and Suns, with a very top-heavy roster. Philadelphia already has Embiid on a supermax contract and Maxey will likely command a five-year $206 million contract in free agency.
"If Tyrese gets to that All-Star level, which he for sure looks like he has a very solid chance to be, I wouldn't say it changes our calculus on what we need ... [but] I think it changes our odds of winning the title," Morey said. "Like if he becomes that good now these assets are filling in what could be our third-best player, our fourth-best player."
The ideal option for Philadelphia is going the trade route at the deadline and still having the flexibility in the offseason to sign multiple players or even retain its own free agents.
Front office trade history: Hired in November 2020, Morey has made a deadline deal in three consecutive seasons. Philadelphia acquired Jalen McDaniels, Harden and George Hill. Including the Harden trade to the Clippers, Morey has been part of eight trades.
Last regular-season trade: As part of a four-team, six player trade, Philadelphia acquired McDaniels from Charlotte. The cost was trading Matisse Thybulle and a 2023 second.
Trade we would like to see: Two separate trades. Robert Covington, New York's 2024 second-round pick and Portland's 2029 second-round pick to Charlotte for Miles Bridges. Morris, Springer, the LA Clippers' 2029 second and Philadelphia's own 2030 second to Portland for Malcolm Brogdon. Both trades keep Philadelphia below the first apron.
Trade exceptions: $6.8 million
Cash available: $7.0 million (out) | $5.0 million (receive)
Salary info and restrictions
The 76ers are $4.3 million over the luxury tax. They are projected to pay a $6.4 million penalty.
Tobias Harris has a 5% trade bonus. The bonus as of Feb. 8 is $756K.
Draft assets
The 76ers can trade swap rights on their own first-round picks in 2024, 2029 and 2030.
The 76ers will send Oklahoma City a 2025 top-6 protected first in 2025 (top-4 protected first in 2026).
Two years after the first to the Thunder is conveyed, Brooklyn will receive a top-8 protected first from Philadelphia (the pick is top-8 protected the following season, likely in 2028, if not conveyed in the prior season).
In 2026, Philadelphia has the least favorable first of Oklahoma City, Houston (if 5-30) and Clippers.
The 76ers have an unprotected first from the Clippers in 2028 and the right to swap firsts in 2029 (if 4-30).
The 76ers have six second-round picks available to use in a trade.
Draft rights: None
Toronto Raptors
Recent transactions: Traded OG Anunoby, Malachi Flynn and Precious Achiuwa to New York for Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett. Traded Pascal Siakam to Indiana for Bruce Brown, Kira Lewis Jr., Jordan Nwora, 2024 Indiana first (top-3 protected), 2024 first (least favorable of Oklahoma City, LA Clippers, Utah (if 11-30) and Houston (if 5-30) and 2026 Indiana first (top-4 protected)
Trade meter: 8
What to watch: Gary Trent Jr., Brown and expiring contracts
Since the regular season started, there have been three trades, two orchestrated by the Raptors.
The aggressive approach should be an indicator that Toronto is not done, despite trading its two most prolific players: Anunoby and Siakam.
The roster retooling now moves to exploring trade options for Trent, Thaddeus Young, Otto Porter Jr. and even recent arrival Brown. The four players are on expiring contracts with Brown having a $23 million team option next season. He is allowed to be traded, but his $22 million current salary cannot be aggregated with another player's contract.
Brown started all 33 games with the Pacers, averaging a career-high 12.1 points, but he's shooting 32.1% from 3, below his career rate of 33.8%.
Trent is shooting 41.5% from 3, the second highest in his career. He has a $18.5 million salary and $250K in unlikely bonuses. The bonuses are counted toward the apron for a team acquiring the guard.
Besides Brown and Barrett, there are no players on the roster earning more than $20 million.
If Toronto does not make another move, the Raptors could have $40 million in room this offseason if they decline Brown's team option.
Front office trade history: Before the Anunoby and Siakam trades, Masai Ujiri traded two first-round picks in deadline deals for Jakob Poeltl and Young.
Last regular-season trade: Traded Anunoby in December and Siakam in mid-January.
Trade we would like to see: Two separate trades. Trent to New York for Evan Fournier and three second-round picks (2025 via BKN, 2027 and 2028 via NY). Brown to Philadelphia for Marcus Morris Sr. and two second-round picks (2029 via LAC, 2030 via PHI).
Trade exceptions: $10.2 million, $1.3 million
Cash available: $7.0 million (out) | $7.0 million (receive)
Salary info and restrictions
Toronto is $9.1 million below the luxury tax. They are $11.8 million below the first apron and cannot exceed the threshold.
Brown, Nwora and Lewis cannot be aggregated with other salaries in a trade.
Draft assets
The Raptors will send San Antonio a top-6 protected first in 2024. The pick is top-6 protected in 2025 and 2026.
Toronto has a 2024 Indiana first (top-3 protected) and the least favorable 2024 first of Oklahoma City, LA Clippers, Utah (if 11-30) and Houston (if 5-30).
They also have a 2026 top-4 protected first from the Pacers. Indiana will send two seconds if the 2024 first is not sent. If the first is not conveyed in 2026, Indiana will send its own 2027 first (top-4 protected).
The Raptors are allowed to trade their own first two years after the pick to San Antonio is conveyed.
The Raptors can trade swap rights on their 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030 firsts.
Toronto has four second-round picks available to trade.
Draft rights: None
Washington Wizards
Recent transaction: Traded Danilo Gallinari, Mike Muscala to Detroit for Marvin Bagley III, Isaiah Livers and two seconds
Trade meter: 9
What to watch: Tyus Jones
The Wizards traded for Jones in June and now have a decision on whether to re-sign him in the offseason or look to move him for draft picks. Washington is in the early stages of a rebuild and Jones is a free agent in July.
The veteran is on a $14 million contract and is valuable to playoff teams that need a point guard who can come off the bench while also playing starter-type minutes. Jones has never averaged more than one turnover per game in his career and leads the NBA in assist-to-turnover ratio this season. An acquiring team would inherit Jones' Bird rights and be allowed to exceed the salary cap to re-sign him.
As for the rest of the roster, there's also the expiring contract of Delon Wright.
Two players not on an expiring contract are Kyle Kuzma and Daniel Gafford. Kuzma signed a four-year contract in the offseason that is of tremendous value because it descends each season ($25.6, $23.5, $21.5 and $19.4 million). Kuzma is averaging a career-high 21.8 points and shooting 46% from the field. Gafford is in the first year of a three-year, $40 million extension and ranks eighth in blocked shots. He is averaging career highs in points and rebounds.
Because of both contracts and play on the court, it is difficult to see Washington entertaining a trade unless there are considerable draft picks sent its way.
Front office trade history: Michael Winger has been part of the Cavaliers', Thunder's and Clippers' front offices, but this is his first deadline in charge. In only a short time in Washington, Winger made four trades in a span of two weeks including moving Bradley Beal, Chris Paul and Kristaps Porzingis in three separate deals. The trades netted one first, six seconds and four years of pick swaps.
Last regular-season trade: Besides the recent Detroit trade, Washington sent Rui Hachimura to the Lakers for Kendrick Nunn and three second-round picks in January 2023.
Trade we would like to see: Jones to Minnesota for Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Shake Milton and two seconds.
Trade exceptions: $12.4 million, $9.8million, $5.4 million and $3.5 million
Cash available: $7.0 million (out) | $7.0 million (receive)
Salary info and restrictions
The Wizards are $21.5 million below the luxury tax.
Kuzma has a 15% trade bonus that as of Feb. 8 is $11.1 million.
Deni Avdija has a poison-pill restriction. For trade purposes, $6.3 million is used as his outgoing salary and $12.3 million in incoming salary for an acquiring team.
Bagley and Livers cannot be aggregated in a trade.
