NBA Trade Rumors: 5 teams that should go all in this offseason

As the NBA offseason gets underway, there should be a lot of movement around the league. Plenty of star players will be on new teams, lots of teams could look to hit the reset button, and the entire landscape of the NBA could look a lot different by the time next season begins.

Even teams like the Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors, who reportedly want to keep their respective cores intact, provide intrigue, as they could look to blow it up at any moment. But on the opposite end of the spectrum, some organizations will be looking to do the exact opposite of that.

This is an odd one, but the Brooklyn Nets have no reason to tank. They don’t own their first-round picks. Brooklyn has the assets to trade for a star, and if they can pair Mikal Bridges with another great player, they should be able to make some noise in the East.
