The 2021 NBA trade deadline is Thursday, and teams will have to decide whether they are looking to add players for a playoff push or trade away players for future draft picks.
Key names to watch include former All-Stars such as Andre Drummond, LaMarcus Aldridge and Kyle Lowry, as contending teams will look to add players to potentially get them over the hump come playoff time. Also, will teams like the Houston Rockets and Cleveland Cavaliers decide to punt on the playoffs and make their key contributors available in a deal?
