Summary

Bryce Simon joins Sam Vecenie to preview the NBA Trade Deadline. The unofficial start of NBA trade season is typically December 15, as a significant portion of the league becomes eligible to be moved after signing as free agents in the summer. What players can you expect to move? Who is potentially on the block? Will the Raptors blow it up with OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam moving? Will the Bulls blow it up with Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan moving? Can the Warriors make a move? Can the 76ers make their in-season swing?
