1 Player From Every NBA Team That NEEDS To Be Traded Before The Deadline… (West)

The NBA’s trade deadline is just one short week away and with that being the case the rumor mill is heating up and we seem destined to see some big moves go down some teams need major changes While others only need a minor move in the margins and all of that brings us to

Today’s video we actually started on this topic in my last video so be sure to go watch that after you watch this if you missed it but we’re going through all 30 NBA teams picking out the player that is either most likely to be traded or the player that just needs to be

Traded before the deadline this year last video we went through the teams in the Eastern Conference so in today’s video we’re finishing up with the teams in the Western Conference before we start though it turns out a good amount of you watching right now aren’t even subscribed to the channel so if you

Enjoy the content consider hitting the Subscribe Button as not only does it help out a ton but it also very much appreciate it now with that being said let’s begin going in alphabetical order we’ll start with the Dallas Mavericks and the player they’re most likely to

Trade is is rwn Holmes Holmes is the fifth most expensive player on the team’s payroll and he doesn’t even regularly play in the rotation with the emerg of rookie Derek Lively he’s incredibly Expendable and his contract will likely be needed to make the money work in any offer where they go after a

Difference Maker for the remainder of the season next up is the Denver Nuggets and the player they’re most likely to trade at the deadline is Zeke Nagi the nuggets are a team that seems pretty content with what they have as they’re the reigning champion within a game of

First place in the west they’ve got the continuity of the same starting lineup that won it all last year they’ve found a good Groove with their current bench rotation and after being paid a somewhat lucrative contract extension this summer Nai has already fallen out of the team’s

Rotation so it would be in the best interest of both the team and Nai himself to move him to a place where the pressure isn’t as high and he can actually play next is the Golden State Warriors and the player they need to trade before the deadline is is Andrew

Wiggins the Warriors are having an old versus young crisis right now with a lot of their younger Talent blossoming while simultaneously being held back by the washed veterans ahead of them Andrew Wiggins is having the worst year of his entire career and still has three more years on his current contract which is

Only going to look worse as time goes on the sooner they move on from him the better off they are because players like Jonathan kuminga and Brandon psky are already more effective in the same role and the Warriors are running out of time to turn their season around currently

Sitting in 12th Place in the west standings next is the Houston Rockets and the player they might need to trade before the deadline is Jaylen green this one is going to seem like a bit of a bombshell but recent reports are saying that the Rockets are looking to make win

Now changes under coach eme udoka and Jaylen green is a piece that is no longer off the table the Rockets started the year RedHot but have now slipped all the way down to 11th Place in the West standings and they fully intend on fighting for a playoff spot from

Everything I’ve seen Jaylen green is frustrating because some nights he shows you flashes of an elite scoring talent in the making but he is way too inconsistent to be relied upon as a go-to guy and his poor defense and decision-making make him an option to move in a deal where they potentially go

Hunting for a real star player up next is the Los Angeles Clippers and the player they’re most likely to trade before the deadline is PJ Tucker Tucker has been a part of the package deal with James Harden for years and he came to La once again included in the James Harden

Trade but after early season struggles the Clippers removed him from the rotation almost entirely and immediately began finding success so he hasn’t really seen the court all that much since his contract isn’t that enticing for teams to take on but he’s a player with championship experience and is a

Good locker room presence which could get a team to want to bring him in if the Clippers aren’t using him next up is the Los Angeles Lakers and the player there they need to trade before the deadline is D’Angelo Russell the Lakers to put it simply are well behind where

They believed they should have been at this point in the season currently under 500 LeBron james’ patience is running thin and we all know what usually happens when that’s the case a big trade goes down D’Angelo Russell hasn’t necessarily been bad this year at all actually shooting the ball well all

Things considered but he is clearly the trade chip that the team is dangling in front of other teams and offers and it seems inevitable that he finds a new home next is the Memphis Grizzlies and the player they’re most likely to trade before the deadline is zy Williams

Williams was a top 10 pick back in 2021 and to put it simply he has not panned out through three seasons you would expect to see meaningful progress made by prospects with raw athletic talent but at this point in time that’s still all he really is the Grizzlies season

May be lost this year but they’re going to be looking to get right back into the mix next season so if they can get ahead of the curve and move Williams for some something that could actually help them next season they should do that next is the Minnesota Timberwolves and the

Player they’re most likely to trade is Shake Milton the Timberwolves are another team sitting at the top of the standings pleased with what they already have I don’t necessarily think they’re going to make a move but if they do then Milton would be the piece used in some

Offers to find an upgrade along the edges the team was hopeful he could provide an impactful scoring threat Off the Bench signing him this off season but he has just not been able to find a Groove this here at all shooting the ball pretty poorly most Knights and he

Doesn’t even play that often so if his $5 million contract is movable then they will take advantage of it up next is the New Orleans Pelicans and the player they’re most likely to move by the deadline is Jonas valent chunis this isn’t a case of valent chunis being bad

Or holding the team back at all it’s more just a case of the Pelicans being in a position where they probably need a more defensive-minded Center holding things down in the middle which isn’t necessarily where valent tunes’ value shines his $15 million expiring contract also sets him up perfectly to be in the

Middle of any offer they make to find an upgrade at the position as it makes the money work and he’s talented enough to Garner Interest next is the Oklahoma City Thunder and the player they most likely to trade is Davis Bon the Thunder are in one of the best positions in the

League right now sitting in second place in the Western Conference standings while also having an entire treasure chest of draft capital and assets at their disposal to throw in a trade they could go Star hunting with all of the first round picks they have to offer and

If they’re going to do that then Davis Bon and his $17 million contract need to come off the books to do it next up is the Phoenix Suns and the player they’re most likely to trade is bull bull the Suns have used up all of the assets they

Had in order to form the big three of Kevin Durant Devin Booker and Bradley Beal so any trade they make will be less notable bullbull was brought in to potentially get his chance to earn minutes off the bench backing up Yousef nurich but he’s once again f failing to

Break into the rotation so we could see him on the move yet again next is the Portland Trailblazers and the player they’re most likely to trade at the deadline is Malcolm Brogden Brogden came to Portland as a result of the Drew Holiday trade and the Assumption was

Always that his time there would be short he’s once again proving his worth on this rebuilding Blazers team and is exactly the kind of experienced veteran ball handler and playmaker that playoff teams would die to have in their rotation so I expect many of them to

Come calling the closer we get to the deadline up next is the Sacramento Kings and the player they’re most likely to trade at the deadline is Harrison Barnes the Kings have been involved in trade discussions for upgrades at the forward spot a few times already with the most recent example being them expressing

Interest in Pascal cakam before he went to Indiana so where there’s smoke there’s typically Fire And while Barnes has been fine in the role that he’s in as a member of the Kings there’s definitely room to improve and the Kings don’t want to lose the momentum that they built after breaking into the

Playoffs last season for the first time in 16 years next up is the San Antonio Spurs and the player they may look to trade at the deadline is keldan Johnson Johnson has developed well in his 5 years in San Antonio but with the team moving him to a bench role due to his

Inconsistency and inefficiency there are real questions being asked about whether he’s a part of the team’s long-term plans alongside Victor wanyama he signed a contract extension that lasts three more years but his salary actually decreases gradually which makes it more Team friendly as it goes so if there’s a

Team out there looking for a volume scoring option the Spurs may ship him out if the offer is good enough and finally the last team in the west is the Utah Jazz and the player they’re most likely to trade before the deadline is Jordan Clarkson once again Clarkson fits

The mold of an older volume scoring Talent playing on a younger team that is expected to attract offers from playoff teams Clarkson’s not necessarily having his best season this year either and Colin ston recently took his starting job so with him still under contract for

2 more years they may look to unload him early and with that being said that’s all I have for you today make sure to like the video subscribe to the channel and comment down below who you think is about to get traded thanks for watching and I’ll see you all next time
