The NBA offseason is heating up, meaning several stars could be on the move in the coming days.
Here’s a list of the top-10 trade candidates and where they could potentially land in the coming weeks.
1) Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks
A dominant force on both ends of the court, unstoppable in the paint, a proven leader, and an NBA champion. The Milwaukee Bucks finally seem ready to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo, and expect them to receive several draft picks and a valuable young asset or two in return for the two-time NBA MVP.
Potential Landing Spots:Â Heat, Celtics
2) Jaylen Brown, Boston Celtics
An elite scorer at all three levels of the floor, Jaylen Brown is a former NBA Finals MVP who only strengthened his case as a No. 1 option during the 2025-26 campaign.
Brown could very well be the main piece in an Antetokounmpo trade or potentially redirected to a playoff contender.
Potential Landing Spots:Â Hawks, Bucks, Trail Blazers
3) Kawhi Leonard, Los Angeles Clippers
A future Hall of Famer who proved he still has plenty in the tank at 34 years of age, Kawhi Leonard is coming off arguably his best season as a Los Angeles Clipper.
Leonard would likely command a future draft pick and salary filler if Los Angeles chooses to rebuild this summer.
Potential Landing Spots:Â Warriors, Heat, Nuggets
4) Anthony Davis, Washington Wizards
When healthy, Anthony Davis is one of the best two-way centers of this generation. Does he want to spend the final years of his prime in Washington? That is the question. If the 33-year-old asks out, several contenders would likely show interest in the Wizards big man.
Potential Landing Spots:Â Lakers, Warriors, Heat
5) Rudy Gobert, Minnesota Timberwolves
While the Rudy Gobert experiment in Minnesota wasn’t necessarily a failure, it’s time for a change. He is still one of the NBA’s premier interior defenders, so Gobert could provide significant value to playoff contenders who are weak at the five position.
Potential Landing Spots:Â Celtics, Hornets, Hawks
6) Derrick White, Boston Celtics

Derrick White, who saw a noticeable dip in his shooting numbers this past season, could be on the move. Teams in need of backcourt help are likely to show interest in acquiring the veteran guard.
Potential Landing Spots:Â Timberwolves, Raptors, Magic
7) Kyrie Irving, Dallas Mavericks
Rehabbing from a torn ACL, Kyrie Irving could be on the move if the Mavericks decide to shop the nine-time All-Star as they continue to build around Cooper Flagg.
If Irving manages to return at 75% of what he once was, he can be a strong No. 2 option on a playoff team. With that said, it’s possible Mavericks president Masai Ujiri will keep Irving since he spoke about wanting to see Flagg and Irving play together during his introductory press conference.
Potential Landing Spots:Â Pistons, Nuggets, Timberwolves
8) Tyler Herro, G, Miami Heat
If Antetokounmpo is dealt to Miami, Tyler Herro will almost certainly be involved in the trade package. Whether the 26-year-old guard heads to Milwaukee or is rerouted elsewhere remains to be seen.
Potential Landing Spots:Â Bucks, Pistons, Celtics
9) Julius Randle, Minnesota Timberwolves
The Timberwolves are reportedly open to moving on from All-NBA forward Julius Randle. The fact that he’s making more than $30 million next season could create some challenges, though. A trade to a contender desperately looking for scoring appears to be the most likely outcome if he doesn’t stay in Minnesota.
Potential Landing Spots: Pistons, Spurs, Kings
10) Jarrett Allen, Cleveland Cavaliers
One of the league’s top shot-blockers and lob threats may just be the odd-man out in Cleveland. If the Cavaliers believe Evan Mobley is capable of being their full-time center, a Jarrett Allen trade could be in the works this offseason as Cleveland shakes things up after a disappointing Eastern Conference Finals sweep by the New York Knicks.
Potential Landing Spots:Â Warriors, Lakers, Hornets
