The 2023 NBA trade deadline has the potential to be bonkers. The championship picture feels wide open with no obvious favorite at the top of the league, ...

The Pelicans certainly have the draft capital to make a big move thanks to owning the Lakers’ picks from the Davis trade. Memphis is seen as a top-2 contender to reach the NBA Finals out West along with the Denver Nuggets, and could be looking to make an all-in push for one more piece. The Grizzlies and Pelicans are both flush with surplus draft picks. The Jazz were never supposed to be competitive this year after trading Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell over the offseason, but a 10-3 start made Utah the best story of the start of the season. The Trail Blazers are in “buying mode,” While Utah currently sit one-game over .500 at 27-26, it sounds like the Jazz are ready to deal and prioritize their draft position. His flashes this year have been super enticing, but he’s probably still a few years away from making a winning impact on the court. The pressure would really be on LeBron and Anthony Davis right now to go on a run if the Lakers pull the trigger. The 2023 NBA trade deadline has the potential to be bonkers. Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz look like they’re ready to be sellers after a hot start to the season. Re-signing Hachimura would cut into the Lakers cap space, and of course LA doesn’t know how many great seasons they will keep getting out of LeBron James, who is now 38 years old. The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly looking to make another move after adding forward Rui Hachimura in a deal with the Wizards late last month, while the whole league is seemingly hanging on if the Raptors will trade OG Anunoby.
