NBA Trade Rumors: Predicting six teams, some of which may be a surprise, that should be sellers at the trade deadline. 

The 2023 NBA Trade Deadline (February 9) may be a little more than two months away, but the market is already beginning to create itself. While it still remains to be seen which big-name players will drive this year’s trade season, you can make an argument for many teams to fall on the buyer and seller side of things.

We’ve only played a quarter of the regular season but there is still plenty of conclusions that we can make through the first 20 games. The big question is how much will change over the course of the next few weeks.

The next few weeks will decide which teams will be buyers and sellers at the NBA Trade Deadline.

Whether you want to believe it or not, the next few weeks will largely determine the trade market for many teams. For some that have gotten off to slow starts, if they can’t turn things around in the next few weeks, they will undoubtedly be forced to consider being sellers at the NBA trade deadline.

And you can do it the other way around too. Contenders that truly believe they can win a title will attempt to go all-in at the deadline.

While there are some teams that you would expect to be sellers, we explore six teams that should be sellers but perhaps don’t seem to fit the bill on paper.
