The NBA postseason is drawing near as another season starts to draw to a close. This year’s playoffs are going to be some of the best in recent memory, with no clear-cut favorite to win the championship.

But while the playoffs are going to be fun, this offseason is set to be fairly entertaining as well. Although there aren’t a ton of big-name free agents, with how this season has gone for some top teams, there are bound to be a ton of trades.

2022 NBA Offseason: Predicting 3 potential NBA trades

The Los Angeles Lakers underperformed this season, the New York Knicks crumbled after somewhat of a hot start, and the Sacramento Kings… well, they were the Kings.

In those three cases, in particular, guys like Russell Westbrook, Evan Fournier, Kemba Walker, and Harrison Barnes could be on the trade block. And those are just a few of the top examples.

Teams around the association will undoubtedly be looking to shake things up, especially with how wide-open the league is right now. There’s a really good chance that a lot of teams around the league look a lot different next year than they do right now.

This will only be accentuated by the fact that this year’s free agency class isn’t going to be very good. Zach LaVine is the most notable name, but he’s almost certainly going to re-sign with the Chicago Bulls.

So because of that, expect there to be a ton of offseason trades this summer. Here are ten trades that could potentially happen this offseason based on the current landscape of the league.
