As of now, the tournament has not released the schedule further than the first few days in March. Each team must have performed about 40 games so far in the league, this should have given them the better idea whether they are going to be a buyer or seller at the cut-off date. Here is the list of some key trade targets for this deadline in the month of March.
Bradley Beal, Wizards: This 27 year old leading scorer has at least additional year that has been left on his contract. Washington has steadily never looked on the idea of trading Beal, and not even Beal has pointed out that he wants to be traded. Overall, it doesn’t seem like Beal is going to leave Washington except there is a big change in the relationship between him and the franchise.
Kyle Lowry, Raptors: The Raptors may think through this option even though Kyle Lowry is one of the greatest players in franchise history. As per to the rumours, if Raptors and Lowry part their ways then he would probably favour to join the 76ers.
Zach LaVine, Chicago Bulls: So far, he is not among the best scorers in the tournament, but this might be the right time for him to move on based on the current situation. He may possibly be trade for Beal.
LaMarcus Aldridge, Spurs: Gregg Popovich, Spurs coach, has already made the statement confirming that Aldridge is not going to be with the team moving forward as San Antonio works over trade setups.
