First off...enough with the tanking talk. Unless there is a season ending injury to Luka, tanking isn't an option.
That said, roster turnover is certainly within the scope of trying to improve. At this point anybody not named Luka is available for the right return. Injuries are starting to pile up around the league and pretty soon some teams are going to have to decide whether to keep trying (look for help) or circle the wagons and wait for next season (reduce salaries), so opportunities will be there for trades.
Denver comes to mind. Dame is out in POR, but there seem to be constant whispers about impending fire sales. Unhappiness in BOS, PHI and BKN. LALs stinking it up. SAC, HOU, TOR, IND all on the outside of the playoffs right now, but with interesting pieces. The lid comes off next week, so it could be an interesting Christmas. Maybe Nico will leave us a present under the tree?
