The NBA trade deadline is going to approach fast. February 7 only feels far away.
Teams around the NBA are going to be scrambling to make their teams better in a Playoff race that is overly packed. The Eastern Conference, as watered down as it is, has 11 teams at least two games within the final Playoff spot. That includes the Orlando Magic, now two games out of the final Playoff spot.
The Western Conference is even more of a mess.
So the trade market is going to take some time to develop. Even at this late stage.
