With the NBA trade deadline less than a month away Feb. 5, ESPN writers have identified Lonzo Ball as potential trade bait.

Are the Bucks targeting Michael Porter Jr. in a deadline trade amid the forward's breakout season with the Nets?

Predicting the potential trade deadline deals that might go down in February 5, with one blockbuster move widely expected.

The Bucks have been linked to Ja Morant, Michael Porter Jr., Zach LaVine, Miles Bridges and others, and expect them to make some kind of trade before the deadline. Ja Morant wants to be traded to Miami, but the feeling is not mutual, reports Windhorst and Bontemps at ESPN.

As the NBA trade deadline approaches, one notable player on the Bulls is listed as the likely trade candidate by ESPN.

Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports that Karnisovas has reportedly been "more transparent" in trade talks with other teams and has been "more realistic" in asking prices for those players. That could result in the Bulls finally selling on some players they probably should've traded awhile ago, but better late than never.
