The factor that could possibly cause hardly any trades in the NBA

According to Brian Windhorst of ESPN, very little activity is expected before the close of this season's Trade Deadline

Every year, one of the most exciting moments of the NBA season is usually the Trade Deadline. On the last day of the winter trading market, many teams take advantage to agree on trades that can be decisive for the playoffs. However, this year, it is possible that not even one trade will occur.

At least that's what NBA Rumors' Brian Windhorst, ESPN journalist, guarantees: "I think we're going to see less action at the trade deadline because there are fewer bad contracts as teams are a little smarter."

"I just think that intelligence in the game and the way teams are run, and the style of play is taking away some of the things that fans like, at least some of the old school fans," Windhorst adds.

Perhaps one of the few teams looking to shed some contracts is the Chicago Bulls. The Illinois franchise has contracts like Zach LaVine's and Nikola Vucevic's that they would like to get rid of in their rebuilding phase.

LaVine's five-year, $215 million contract with the Bulls signed in the 2022 offseason has become a warning for teams that think they can re-sign their very good but not quite superstar-level players.
