The February trade deadline is also quickly approaching, as the NBA has made changes to the deadline so that it will now always occur 10 days before the All-Star game. This has been done so that players, who are traded, have time to settle into their new teams, so this year’s trade window will close on February 7th.
So with the trade deadline just two weeks away, here are the biggest trade rumors you need to know for January 28th.
Trey Burke is attracting interest from the Warriors
After suffering another disappointing season, the New York Knicks are currently focused on developing their young talent. Due to this, a number of senior players are likely to move on before the trade deadline, and the NY Post is reporting that Trey Burke is currently attracting interest:
Burke has been with the Knicks for just over a year and has averaged 11.6 points and 2.9 assists per game this season.

Lakers center is attracting trade interest
Ivica Zubac has been the Lakers’ third choice center for much of the season and has played just 29 games for the team. Nevertheless, the LA Times is citing anonymous scouts who believe that Zubac could leave Los Angeles this month:
Zubac was selected by the Lakers in the second round of the 2016 NBA draft and the center is averaging 8.6 points and 5.0 rebounds per game this season.
Pistons could trade away Reggie Bullock
The Detroit Pistons have struggled for form recently and currently hold a 21-27 record. While the team is still in the hunt for a playoff place, The Detroit News is reporting that the Pistons may choose to deal a number of their best players before the deadline:
Bullock has been with Detroit since 2015, and he has started 40 times for the Pistons this season. The 27-year-old is averaging 12 points and 2.6 rebounds per game, although Bullock will become a free agent this summer, so the Pistons may feel pressured to trade him away before the trade deadline.
