The 2020 NBA trade deadline is here.
There have been only six deals since August, but trade talks have picked up, as evidenced by the four-team, 12-player deal that went down on Tuesday featuring Robert Covington and Clint Capel.a

Draft capital: The Pistons own all of their first-round selections, plus second-round picks via the Lakers (2021) and Portland (2023).

Finances: Currently $3,669 below the luxury tax and $5.8 million below the hard cap, there is little flexibility for the Pistons to take back salary. They also have trade exceptions worth $2.5 million and $1.1 million. Because of the Griffin injury, Detroit has a $9.3 million Disabled Player Exception. If Drummond returns, Detroit will be right at the cap in July. Without the center, the team will be $36 million below the cap line.

Draft capital: Golden State owns only its second-round pick outright in 2022, but it added Utah's 2020 second-rounder in the Cauley-Stein deal. The Warriors will send Memphis a first in 2024 (protected top-four).
Potential front office questions: Gauging the trade market when it comes to Burks and Robinson. With two open roster spots, do we convert the two-way contracts of Ky Bowman and Marquese Chriss?
Finances: Golden State is currently $2.5 million below the hard cap and $3.7 million above the luxury tax.

Draft capital: New York has an unprotected first-rounder from Dallas in 2021 and a top-10 protected pick in 2023. The Knicks have their own second-rounder starting in 2022 and also the Hornets' in 2020 and 2021.
Potential front office questions: Deciding if Morris is part of the future or if it's worth extracting draft assets for him at the deadline.
Finances: Decisions on the five non-guaranteed contracts will trigger what flexibility New York has in June. The most room the Knicks can have is $50 million.
Oklahoma City Thunder
Off the board: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ($4 million, RFA in 2022)
Trade target: Danilo Gallinari ($22.6 million, UFA in 2020) and Mike Muscala ($2 million, PO in 2020)
Toughest salary to move: Chris Paul ($38.5 million, PO in 2021). Paul is here because of his $44.2M salary in 2021-22, not because of his play this season.
Free agents in July: Gallinari, Muscala, Andre Roberson ($10.7 million) and Nerlens Noel ($1.6 million, veto power)
Controllable contracts: Terrance Ferguson ($2.5 million, RFA in 2021), Darius Bazley ($2.3 million, RFA in 2023), Hamidou Diallo ($1.4 million, TO in 2020), Deonte Burton ($1.4 million, RFA in 2021), Abdel Nader ($1.6 million, TO in 2020) and Isaiah Roby ($1.5 million, UFA in 2023)

Draft capital: OKC is projected to have 15 first-round picks over the next seven years, plus second-rounders in in 2020, 2021 and 2026.
Potential front office questions: Can they make the playoffs without Gallinari? The Thunder were 4-1 when Gallinari was out because of injury.
Finances: The Thunder are $801,000 over the luxury tax and have multiple trade exceptions. They are right at the cap for next season.
Orlando Magic
Off the board: Jonathan Isaac ($5.8 million, RFA in 2021)
Trade target: Evan Fournier ($17.2 million, PO in 2020) and D.J. Augustin ($7.3 million, UFA in 2020)

Draft capital: The Magic have all of their first and second-round picks, plus a second-rounder from the Lakers in 2020.
Potential front office questions: Addressing the need for bench depth with the Isaac and Aminu injuries.
Finances: The Magic are $7.8 million below the tax and are over the salary cap for next season. Because of the Aminu injury, Orlando has a $4.6 million Disabled Player Exception.
Philadelphia 76ers
Off the board: Joel Embiid ($27.5 million, UFA in 2022) and Ben Simmons ($8.1 million, UFA in 2024, poison pill)

Potential front office questions: Does this team have enough to get out of the Eastern Conference without making an upgrade?
Finances: Philadelphia is $4.4 million below the tax and will be in the penalty next season.
Phoenix Suns
Off the board: Devin Booker ($27.3 million, UFA in 2024)
Trade targets: Tyler Johnson ($19.2 million, UFA in 2020), Aron Baynes ($5.4 million, UFA in 2020) and Dario Saric ($3.5 million, RFA in 2020) Best value contract: Kelly Oubre Jr. ($15.6 million, UFA in 2021)

Draft capital: Phoenix has all of its first-round selections. The Suns owe second-rounders to Memphis in 2020 and Brooklyn in 2021 (if Nos. 36-60).
Potential front office questions: Deciding the value of cap space in 2020 and 2021 vs. taking back salary in a trade that could upgrade the roster now.
Finances: The Suns could have close to $20 million in cap space in July if they do not re-sign Saric.
Portland Trail Blazers
Off the board: Damian Lillard ($29.8 million, PO in 2024) and Carmelo Anthony ($1.4 million, UFA in 2020)
Trade target: Hassan Whiteside ($27.1 million, UFA in 2020)

Draft capital: The Trail Blazers have their first-round picks to use in a trade. They owe second-rounders to Memphis in 2021, Detroit in 2023 and Sacramento in 2024 and 2025.
Potential front office questions: Playing out the season with the hopes that Collins and Nurkic return from injuries vs. risking a first-round pick and one of the expiring contracts for an immediate upgrade.
Finances: The Trail Blazers are $6.3 million over the luxury tax with a $9.6 million tax penalty. They do have three trade exceptions, including one for $7.1 million. Portland is projected to be right at the salary cap next season.

Off the board: De'Aaron Fox ($6.4 million, RFA in 2021) and Buddy Hield ($4.9 million, UFA in 2024, poison pill)

Rest of the roster: Cory Joseph ($12 million, UFA in 2022) and Nemanja Bjelica ($6.8 million, UFA in 2021)
Draft capital: The Kings have their first-round picks, plus a total of seven second-round picks over the next two seasons.
Potential front office questions: The comfort level of paying Bogdanovic a minimum of $15 million per year as a free agent or going in a different direction before the deadline. And what would be the return for moving Dedmon?
Finances: The Kings are $10 million over the salary cap, and they will be over the cap when free agency begins in July.

Draft capital: The Spurs owe Cleveland a second-rounder in 2022, but they own all of their other picks.
Potential front office questions: Treading water and getting into the playoffs as a No. 7 or No. 8 seed vs. retooling the roster now.
Finances: The Spurs are $8.8 million below the luxury tax this season. The cap flexibility for 2020-21 will depend on if DeRozan opts into his contract or perhaps is moved at the deadline.
Toronto Raptors
Off the board: Pascal Siakam ($2.4 million, UFA in 2024, poison pill) and Fred VanVleet ($9.3 million, UFA in 2020)

Draft capital: The Raptors own all of their first-round picks. They owe second-rounders in 2021 (to Brooklyn), 2022 (to Philadelphia) and 2024 (to Memphis)
Potential front office questions: Deciding if the current roster is good enough to get out of the Eastern Conference. Do they look toward the future or play the loyalty card and keep this championship team intact for one more run?
Finances: Toronto is $6 million below the luxury tax and has three trade exceptions. The decision on VanVleet's free agency will determine what type of cap flexibility the Raptors have in July. In 2021, only Siakam and Powell have guaranteed contracts.
Utah Jazz
Off the board: Donovan Mitchell ($3.6 million, RFA in 2021), Rudy Gobert ($25 million, UFA in 2021), Joe Ingles ($12 million, UFA in 2022), Juwan Morgan ($746,000, RFA in 2021), Rayjon Tucker ($579,000, RFA in 2021) and Royce O'Neal ($1.6 million, UFA in 2024)

Draft capital: Utah will send Memphis a first-round pick that probably will be conveyed in 2022. The Jazz have second-rounders in 2021 (via Golden State), 2022, 2023 and 2024.
Potential front office questions: Getting Conley healthy for the stretch run of the season.
Finances: The Jazz are currently over the cap. Swapping out the Exum contract with a new Royce O'Neale extension still has Utah $18 million below the luxury tax in July.
Washington Wizards
Off the board: Bradley Beal ($27.1 million, PO in 2022), Gary Payton II ($1.1 million, UFA in 2020) and Anzejs Pasecniks ($482,000, RFA in 2022)

Rest of the roster: Ish Smith ($6 million, UFA in 2021)
Draft capital: Washington has all of its first-round picks. The Wizards owe multiple second-round picks, but they do have the Bulls' second-rounder in 2023.
Potential front office questions: How much value is there in trading the expiring contracts of Mahinmi and Miles in exchange for salary that extends into 2020-21?
Finances: The Wizards are $3.7 million below the luxury tax and have a $5 million trade exception and $4.4 million Disabled Player Exception. They are right at the salary cap next season.
