Trade rumors are flying across the NBA as the trade deadline is less than a month away (February 6th), and most trade restrictions let up this week on January 15th. The Dallas Mavericks have been connected in some trades for players like Jimmy Butler and Kyle Kuzma, but one NBA writer believes in a different strategy for the Mavs.

Despite a recent poor stretch, the Dallas Mavericks are trying to find a way back to the NBA Finals. The Mavericks have gone 3-7 in their last 10 games, struggling to find a rhythm with Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving out of the lineup.

The Lakers should remain active leading up to the NBA trade deadline in order to fix this flaw that keeps them from being contenders.

The Chicago Bulls’ trade deadline plans are expected to include moving two-time All-Star center Nikola Vučević. But their search for a partner has been unfruitful. Vučević has played at a high level this season.

The Chicago Bulls may not be able to move Zach LaVine, but finding a deal for their other All-Star remains at the top of Chicago's to-do list.

Approaching the NBA trade deadline on February 6, the Warriors and Lakers scramble to maximize the championship windows of Stephen Curry and LeBron James.
