NBA Deadline: Giannis, Tatum, Luka Top Assets

Bleacher Report lays out a team-by-team big board of top trade assets ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline, explaining the buyer/seller lens and the Dec. 15 trade-eligibility cutoff. The piece names specific suitors and sellable pieces — from Atlanta’s prized 2026 New Orleans pick and Risacher to Boston’s Marcus Smart-ish trade chips like Pritchard and White — showing who can truly move markets. Merlin sees the tapestry: distant picks and cheap, two-way contracts are the new currency, while expiring deals and rookie-scale bargains unlock trades. The board exposes which clubs are realistically buyers versus sellers and how contracts, injuries and development timelines will steer deals between now and February.
