NBA Trade Rumors: Breaking down five likely sellers heading into the final weeks before the NBA Trade Deadline.

The NBA trade deadline comes and goes every year with plenty of surprises. Some deadlines feature major moves whereas others are quieter with only a handful of small transactions.

This year’s trade deadline may be remembered for the number of sellers on the market due to the prize in this year’s NBA draft: Victor Wembanyama. The 7-foot-2 French teenager has dropped as many jaws with his play as any prospect in the history of the sport.

Right below him in most draft experts’ 2023 prospect rankings is another superstar talent: Scoot Henderson.

How will the NBA Trade Deadline be impacted by these two top NBA Draft prospects?

With these two guys and more incredible prospects at the top of the draft, we could see more teams than usual become sellers around at the deadline to better position themselves for the draft lottery.

One of those teams could be the Chicago Bulls.
