As the NBA’s 2024 trade deadline approaches, teams are gearing up for potential roster shake-ups that could impact the playoff race and future seasons. With only 48 hours left before the deadline, here are some of the latest trade rumors making waves:
1. Knicks Eyeing P.J. Washington and Bruce Brown Jr.
The New York Knicks, currently on a hot streak with nine wins in their last ten games, are reportedly eyeing Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington and Toronto Raptors guard Bruce Brown Jr. as potential trade targets. While Brown is the preferred target, the Raptors are seeking a first-round pick in return, making negotiations challenging for the Knicks.

2. Dejounte Murray Drawing Interest from Lakers and Jazz
Dejounte Murray of the Atlanta Hawks is one of the most sought-after players in this year’s trade deadline. The Los Angeles Lakers and Utah Jazz are the only teams known to have made offers for Murray so far. However, the Lakers may struggle to meet the Hawks’ asking price, given their limited trade assets.
Tomorrow, either Dejounte Murray or Bruce Brown is going to be a Knick.

3. Celtics Looking to Add Depth
Despite having the best record in the NBA, the Boston Celtics are reportedly interested in adding more pieces to their roster. They have expressed interest in players like Kelly Olynyk, Delon Wright, and Andre Drummond. Drummond, in particular, seemed as a logical trade target due to his affordable salary and production off the bench.
