With ten days before the NBA trade deadline, teams throughout the league want to make a move that could improve their roster.
So far, we have seen Pascal Siakam get traded to the Indiana Pacers and OG Anunoby get dealt to the Knicks for RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickly. Also, the Miami Heat sent Kyle Lowry and a first-round pick to the Charlotte Hornets for Terry Rozier.
As we move closer to the deadline, several big names could likely be on the move.
NBA Trade Deadline: Dejounte Murray
One player who has been making waves this season who can likely be moved is Atlanta Hawks combo guard, Dejounte Murray.
Murray is currently having an excellent season averaging 21.4 points, 5.1 assists, and 1.3 steals per game. Despite that, the Hawks struggle to make any noise in the Eastern Conference with a dubious 19-27 record.
It's been reported that Murray has several suitors, including the Lakers, Warriors, and Knicks.
The Lakers would be an ideal fit for Murray, who can provide them with the scoring and defensive punch they have been lacking all season.
NBA Trade Deadline: Zach Lavine
There have been conversations surrounding The Chicago Bulls and dynamic shooting guard Zach Lavine on whether the franchise would move off from two-time all-star before the trade deadline.
Lavine has been battling a nagging foot injury that has sidelined for most of the season. So far, he has missed 21 out of the Bull's last 28 games. Despite missing time, the Bulls have a record of 22-25 and have a 12-9 record without him playing.
Some reports revealed the Detroit Pistons would be interested in moving to bring in the star guard in.
Centering a trade around Lavine that would send small forward Bojan Bogdanovic to Chicago. Other suitors that would likely make a bid for the two-time all-star are the Lakers and Sixers.
Though the Bulls have made the playoffs once during Lavine's time in Chicago, it seems they are still competitive, playing for a play-in spot without their star shooting guard, making him expendable.
Lavine, when healthy, can provide a team with a scoring punch with him currently averaging 19.5 points per game.

NBA Trade Deadline: Bruce Brown
Bruce Brown was a piece in the trade that brought Pascal Siakam to Indiana. Though he is not the most attractive name on the market, Brown is still a player with some value.
Brown shined during last year's NBA Finals, helping the Denver Nuggets win their first NBA championship and playing crucial minutes in the finals off the bench.
According to the Athletic Shams Charania, the Lakers may be interested in bringing in the small forward.
His grittiness on defense would be a welcomed addition to any NBA roster.
NBA Trade Deadline: Kyle Kuzma
Washington Wizards small forward, Kyle Kuzma is another name that has come up in trade talks.
Reports have revealed The Wizards forward has garnered interest from the Dallas Mavericks and Golden State Warriors, two teams that have had their ups and downs this season.
With the Wizards on a down year, it would make sense for a team to bring in Kuzma as he can be another scorer in return for some sort of draft compensation.
Kuzma can provide depth as a scoring wing in the front court for any team looking to make a playoff push.
