The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/atlanta-hawks-depth-chart">Atlanta Hawks</a> are a team that's somewhat been overachieving. With the Hawks not owning their first-round pick, it doesn't make sense for them to be making moves at this juncture. 
Buy or Sell: Stand pat

Atlanta Hawks

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25281129-scaled-e1738248626343-768x432.jpg

It's hard to see the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/boston-celtics-depth-chart">Boston Celtics</a> doing much of anything leading into the trade deadline. A repeat is very much on the table, but it's hard to see them finding any real upgrades for this roster. If they do anything, it'll be tinkering around the edges. 
Buy or Sell: Buy

Boston Celtics

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25228686-scaled-e1738248648994-768x432.jpg

The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/brooklyn-nets-depth-chart">Brooklyn Nets</a> have some real useful pieces that they can sell off for assets leading up to the NBA trade deadline. Expect them to be one of the more active franchises. 
Buy or Sell: Sell

Brooklyn Nets

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25270942-scaled-e1738248667329-768x432.jpg

The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/charlotte-hornets-depth-chart">Charlotte Hornets</a> are in the early stages of their rebuild. That means we'll be seeing Jeff Peterson engaged as a seller. 
Buy or Sell: Sell

Charlotte Hornets

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25270182-scaled-e1738248696670-768x432.jpg

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/article/top-5-landing-spots-for-zach-lavine-ahead-of-the-nba-trade-deadline">Landing Spots for Zach LaVine</a>
The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/chicago-bulls-depth-chart">Chicago Bulls</a> have seller written all over them. It's never good when a team is stuck at this stage, and the Bulls management team needs to work their way out of it. 
Buy or Sell: Sell

Chicago Bulls

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25281558-scaled-e1738248716971-768x432.jpg

Although there isn't a ton available for the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/cleveland-cavaliers-depth-chart">Cleveland Cavaliers</a> to trade off, when you're putting together this type of season, you have to be buying and elevating your roster to try and win it all. 
Buy or Sell: Buy

Cleveland Cavaliers

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25075912-scaled-e1738248741128-768x432.jpg

It's hard to get a full read on what this <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/dallas-mavericks-depth-chart">Dallas Mavericks</a> team is. If healthy, they can contend in the Western Conference again. Does that make them a buyer? Potentially. 
Buy or Sell: Stand pat

Dallas Mavericks

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25254811-scaled-e1738248762958-768x432.jpg

If the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/denver-nuggets-depth-chart">Denver Nuggets</a> aren't careful, the window into the championship window might just close. They need a shake up and a deeper roster. 
Buy or Sell: Buy

Denver Nuggets

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25231846-scaled-e1738248784578-768x432.jpg

It's been a nice season to this point for the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/detroit-pistons-depth-chart">Detroit Pistons</a>. There's value in management staying the course and letting this young core grow together. 
Buy or Sell: Stand pat

Detroit Pistons

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25270778-scaled-e1738248806895-768x432.jpg

The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/golden-state-warriors-depth-chart">Golden State Warriors</a> remain active in trade talks to try and upgrade their roster. It's hard to see them not buying at this juncture. 
Buy or Sell: Buy

Golden State Warriors

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Web-Pop-up-1-e1709310205784.png

How can you not reward a team that's shown this much growth? The<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/houston-rockets-depth-chart"> Houston Rockets</a> remain in a great position to add to their roster. 
Buy or Sell: Buy
&nbsp;

Houston Rockets

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25296888-scaled-e1738251759350-768x432.jpg

We saw the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/indiana-pacers-depth-chart">Indiana Pacers</a> make a run last year. You can talk yourself into that again in the Eastern Conference, but it's still difficult to see much of this roster changing leading up to the deadline. 
Buy or Sell: Stand pat 
&nbsp;

Indiana Pacers

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25282438-scaled-e1738251781918-768x432.jpg

It's hard to get a full read on what the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/la-clippers-depth-chart">Los Angeles Clippers</a> will do ahead of the deadline. You can make a case both ways, but I slightly lean toward buy. 
Buy or Sell: Buy
&nbsp;

Los Angeles Clippers

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25283364-scaled-e1738251804693-768x432.jpg

The<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/los-angeles-lakers-depth-chart"> Los Angeles Lakers</a> simply aren't going to sell with <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/players/lebron-james/2994">LeBron James</a> on their roster. The question is, can they make a big upgrade? 
Buy or Sell: Buy
&nbsp;

Los Angeles Lakers

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25281043-scaled-e1738251824230-768x432.jpg

With how good the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/memphis-grizzlies-depth-chart">Memphis Grizzlies</a> have looked for big chunks of the year, it's easy to see this management team adding to their roster. 
Buy or Sell: Buy
&nbsp;

Memphis Grizzlies

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25241421-2-scaled-e1738251847148-768x432.jpg

The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/miami-heat-depth-chart">Miami Heat</a> are in an interesting position. <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/players/jimmy-butler/3153">Jimmy Butler </a>is as good as gone leading up to the deadline, but the Heat may also look to add. 
Buy or Sell: Buy AND sell

Miami Heat

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25272750-scaled-e1738251870220-768x432.jpg

The beginning of the season didn't go as planned, but the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/milwaukee-bucks-depth-chart">Milwaukee Bucks</a> have put themselves in a position to buy with their recent stretch. 
Buy or Sell: Buy

Milwaukee Bucks

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25282886-scaled-e1738251889281-768x432.jpg

I don't envision the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/minnesota-timberwolves-depth-chart">Minnesota Timberwolves</a> being super active leading into the deadline. Potentially some tinkering around the edges. 
Buy or Sell: Buy

Minnesota Timberwolves

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25296658-768x512.jpg

The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/new-orleans-pelicans-depth-chart">New Orleans Pelicans</a> have some potential big pieces to sell off. Will the right deal be on the table? 
Buy or Sell: Sell

New Orleans Pelicans

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25271375-scaled-e1738251932374-768x432.jpg

It'll take some creative decision making to get some flexibility, but the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/new-york-knicks-depth-chart">New York Knicks</a> will buy if the deal makes sense. 
Buy or Sell: Buy

The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/oklahoma-city-thunder-depth-chart">Oklahoma City Thunder</a> have a real shot to win the Western Conference. If there's a deal to be made that will improve the club, they'll make it. 
Buy or Sell: Buy 
&nbsp;

Oklahoma City Thunder

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25282335-scaled-e1738254813918-768x432.jpg

The injuries hits have been plentiful, but that hasn't sucked the life out of the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/orlando-magic-depth-chart">Orlando Magic.</a> This team is very much worthy of reinforcements. 
Buy or Sell: Buy

Orlando Magic

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25296574-scaled-e1738254832711-768x432.jpg

It's hard to make the case that the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/philadelphia-76ers-depth-chart">Philadelphia 76ers</a> deserve to be buyers, so we won't. 
Buy or Sell: Sell

Philadelphia 76ers

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25290419-scaled-e1738254851234-768x432.jpg

The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/portland-trail-blazers-depth-chart">Portland Trail Blazers</a> have to figure out what their core of the future is going to look like. For now, selling makes the most sense. 
Buy or Sell: Sell

Portland Trail Blazers

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25296933-scaled-e1738254887514-768x432.jpg

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/article/top-5-landing-spots-for-deaaron-fox-ahead-of-the-nba-trade-deadline">Landing Spots for De'Aaron Fox</a>
Prior to the recent news, you'd likely have landed on buying. Now, that's no longer a guarantee with <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/players/deaaron-fox/3270">De'Aaron Fox </a>likely not looking stick around. 
Buy or Sell: Sell

Sacramento Kings

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25297453-scaled-e1738254909828-768x432.jpg

The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/san-antonio-spurs-depth-chart">San Antonio Spurs</a> are at the point of their rebuild where they need to star surrounding their superstar big man with more talent. They can begin that as soon as this trade deadline. 
Buy or Sell: Buy

San Antonio Spurs

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25282109-e1738254930908-768x432.jpg

The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/toronto-raptors-depth-chart">Toronto Raptors</a> are in search of more elite talent in their core. In order to get that, they need to sell off some pieces and hope some lottery balls fall their way. 
Buy or Sell: Sell

Toronto Raptors

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25291105-scaled-e1738254954868-768x432.jpg

It's easy to envision a mixture approach for the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/utah-jazz-depth-chart">Utah Jazz</a>. They need to sell off some pieces, but also want to avoid the tax. Picking up draft picks along the way is a must. 
Buy or Sell: Sell

Utah Jazz

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/USATSI_25270562-scaled-e1738254978220-768x432.jpg

The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/washington-wizards-depth-chart">Washington Wizards</a> need a lot of help. The rebuild isn't going to end anytime soon, and selling is likely on the horizon for this franchise again. 
Buy or Sell: Sell

Washington Wizards
