随着12月15日的过去，NBA的交易季正式开启，各支球队可以开始考虑和进行交易。从现在起到明年2月6日的交易截止日期，有关交易的话题将会愈加频繁。而在这期间，一些具备更大行动能力的球队，如勇士与鹈鹕，将成为关注焦点，他们都在积极推动潜在交易。
以下是我们评选出的六支最迫切希望达成交易的队伍：
金州勇士
库明加曾有机会证明自己是勇士除了库里以外的重要得分手，但他的表现未能持续。作为首发球员，他场均仅得到16.8分，并且真实命中率低至50.5%。同时，他缺乏防守意识，也无法适应“阅读防守”的进攻体系，因此很难怪乎勇士正在对他做出最终评估。
尽管他们用赛季报销的梅尔顿从篮网换回了施罗德，这笔操作能够减轻库里的压力，却并没有解决库明加的问题，更不会让勇士重返总冠军竞争行列。因此，用库明加交换所需老将得分手显然意义重大，而其续约期望也为3500万美元左右，这使得这一决定更加重要，因为今夏勇士已拒绝提前续约。
印第安纳步行者
If the Pacers don’t act quickly, they risk becoming the next team to drastically decline after making it to the playoffs, similar to last season’s Hawks.
Their defense remains ineffective while they strive for offensive improvement. Haliburton自腿筋伤势后状态下滑明显，而马瑟林则未能有效支持Haliburton。在两人同场时，步行者进攻效率排名联盟前55%，每百回合只领先1.4分。引入一名高大的侧翼以及兼顾攻防实力的新援，对于提升团队战斗力非常关键。此外，引入一个能够分享火力的人也是必要之举，以弥补马瑟林助攻数据差强人意的问题。目前哈利伯顿薪资占据工资帽30%，而西亚卡姆签署顶薪合同，使得此刻需要通过合理配置来填补弱项，同时期待Haliburton恢复健康状态。
丹佛掘金
Poor performance without Jokic has seen Denver scoring just 95.8 points per hundred possessions—almost ten points lower than Washington this season.
This长期问题亟待改善，为确保Jokic发挥最大效益，需要及时加强阵容。然而，目前可供选择有限，仅2031年的首轮签或齐克-纳吉890万合同可能成为筹码。如果想要改变现状，就必须牺牲贾马尔·穆雷、小迈克尔·波特或者阿隆·戈登中的其中之一，否则真正意义上的强化几乎无望。这不是个“易于成交”的名单，如果如此掘金就不会被提及。他们面临着失去历史级别球员巅峰时期发展的风险，这是不可忽视的一点。
奥兰多魔术
Banchero因伤缺席期间，小瓦格纳帮助提高了魔术攻击效率至112.8，在联赛中排位第十五。当Banchero与小瓦格纳双双上场时，每百回合达到116.2，其中样本数较少，仅229次进攻。虽然小瓦格纳本赛季成长显著，但整体依赖性仍旧不足，对三分和组织能力欠缺严重影响到了他们的发展趋势，即便目前拥有优秀防守却亦不能避免替补方面存在短板的问题。因此，加强攻击线建设变成当务之急，不然即便明星复出，也难以充分展现优异表现，以衬托卓越防御效果。
萨克拉门托国王
< p>The Kings have a strong starting lineup but struggle when their bench players take over, highlighting a lack of depth in their roster that could be addressed through minor trades rather than pursuing big-name stars as some reports suggest.They most frequently used five-man unit shows +7 . 2 net efficiency , and if Huerter is replaced by Monk , this figure rises to +9 . 8 ; replacing Keegan Murray with Kieon Ellis will yield an impressive advantage of +24 .9 every hundred possessions. However, should Sabonis sit out or even Murray gets benched these scenarios lead them into dire straits demonstrating how crucial additional capable size and defensive presence are needed within rotation; not necessarily star caliber player yet feasible contributors ensuring continued competitiveness towards maintaining playoff positioning at Western Conference top six rankings .
新奥尔良鹈鹕
With Ingram approaching free agency status , Pelicans face urgent situation needing return on investment before he potentially departs during summer months ahead ! Furthermore factoring financial structure moving forward may prompt attempts trading away CJ McCollum whose contract worth $33 million in ’25 -‘26 limits flexibility significantly regardless whether Ingram stays put or leaves town altogether ! Considering potential options regarding Zion Williamson too since skipping meeting contractual playing time criteria means letting him go becomes plausible route — allowing organization focus entirely upon building future lineups unencumbered constraints posed from his availability issues & adaptation struggles traditional systems whereupon appreciation arises amongst observers who recognize peace found internally despite current turmoil present lacks definitive signs indicating willingness pursue such drastic measures however shedding Williamson off books would mark final step taken onward journey rebuilding process required following dismal start record (5 wins against only ) resulting effectively signaling end campaign prematurely leaving any moves directed strictly toward enhancing prospects long term viability instead! 原文：Grant Huges 编译：JayChan
