It is the first day of February, which means the NBA trade deadline is just a little over a week away. The next eight days will be full of tension and anticipation for NBA teams and players. Many, if not all the thirty teams building the league will partake in a series of barters and bargains to strengthen their chances for the second half of the season.

As for fans, everybody is sleeping with one eye open. Adrian Wojnarowski’s Twitter will be the center of everyone’s lives for a brief period. Trade speculations, ideas, and arguments will momentarily be the universal language. All until the clock strikes midnight and Feb. 10 arrives, we all see how different things are when the ink dries.

ESPN’s Bobby Marks created a list predicting possible transactions by each of the NBA’s teams. While fans would argue that some do not need trades, there is never a space too tight for improvement.

Here we look at the predicted trades for the two teams based in The Big Apple; the Brooklyn Nets and the New York Knicks. Both sides have already shown improvement from how they left off last season. Both also have equally loving and critical fanbases that deserve winning teams.
