随着12月15日的到来，NBA交易季正式开启，各队可以开始积极考虑交易。预计从现在起直到明年2月6日的交易截止日期，全联盟关于交易的话题将不断增多。
其中，一些球队比大多数其他球队更具备采取行动的能力。从勇士这样的潜在竞争者，到鹈鹕这样令人失望的队伍，这些团队都在努力推动内部和外部完成各自目标。以下是我们评选出的，在交易截止日前最迫切需要进行交易的六支球队：
金州勇士
库明加获得了证明自己能成为除了库里以外第一得分手的位置，但他的高光表现并未持续太久。目前，他作为首发球员场均仅得到16.8分，而真实命中率低至50.5%。此外，他缺乏防守意识，并且没有展现出他能够适应“阅读防守进攻”体系，因此勇士正在对他进行所谓“最终评估”。
为了缓解压力，他们用赛季报销梅尔顿与篮网进行了施罗德交换。这笔操作虽然有助于减轻库里的负担，却无法解决库明加的问题，也不能让勇士提升为总冠军争夺者。因此，用庫明卡换回所需老将得分手显得尤为重要。据报道，庫明卡期望续约薪资达到3500万美元左右，而勇士今夏也拒绝了提前续约他的选择。
印第安纳步行者
If the Pacers don't act quickly, they risk becoming this season's version of last year's Hawks—after reaching the conference finals in 2021, they're on track for a significant decline.
Their defense remains weak while their offense struggles to improve. 哈利伯顿近期状态下滑，与三年级小将马瑟林搭档时效率极其有限。在两人同时上场期间，该队每百回合只领先敌方1.4分，有必要引入一名具有防守意识、身材高大的侧翼球员，同时寻找能帮助哈利伯顿承担更多责任的人选，以提高整体进攻水平。
丹佛掘金

(function(){var i=function(a,b){return b};var j=i(‘JmM9Zw’,’lGgKQkR’)})();})().[source] The Nuggets have struggled offensively when Jokic is not on the court, with an offensive rating significantly lower than that of other teams.
They must find ways to support him if they want any shot at another championship run but are limited by trade options due to salary constraints and roster dynamics.. The team has little flexibility unless willing to part ways with key players like Murray or Porter. This means finding suitable trades will be challenging without compromising core talent.

SACRAMENTO KINGS While starting five appears solid enough currently — need more depth off bench rotation wise since performances drop drastically once starters rest! A minor transaction should suffice here rather than chasing after bigger names rumored elsewhere around league right now... New Orleans Pelicans With Ingram set for free agency soon – time pressing urgency mounts upon managements shoulders regarding future financial structures etc... Possible CJ McCollum deal also looms large considering hefty contract obligations stretching till ’25-26 seasons ahead thus limiting cap space available moving forward too! Zion Williamson may come under scrutiny next summer given circumstances surrounding his health status affecting availability issues altogether lately—but no definitive signs indicating moves yet either way just speculation floating about presently though… As current record stands at disappointing start leaves them focusing primarily onto rebuilding efforts instead whilst simultaneously facing looming deadlines approaching fast!” 【原文：Grant Huges 编译：JayChan】
