With the calendar flipping to 2026, here are the five top trade targets across the NBA ahead of the league’s Feb. 5 trade deadline.

The former Denver Nugget, 27, is in the middle of the best season of his career, averaging 25.8 points and 7.5 rebounds a game while shooting 41% from 3-point range (having the full-time green light in Brooklyn helps). That has drawn interest from a number of teams.

There is reportedly a belief among some in the NBA that the Milwaukee Bucks and superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo will wait until the offseason before potentially pursuing a trade.

The Detroit Pistons are in first place in the Eastern Conference standings. But they might not be very active at the NBA trade deadline on February 5th.

The Boston Celtics and the rest of the NBA are closing in on the midway point of the 2025-26 NBA regular season and the players who signed new deals this offseason are becoming available to be dealt or will be soon.

With the NBA's trade window open for business, which teams are the most likely to deal players in or out before the deadline in February?

As next month’s trade deadline draws closer, there’s a legitimate question of whether Davis and Irving will ever share the court again.

This would give the Mavericks a chance to sign Ryan Nembhard to a standard NBA contract, and it gives them two first-round picks to restock the cupboard a little bit. It may be hard to pry a first-round pick out of Sacramento for LaVine and them getting Trae Young, but they're not exactly the most well-run organization.
