NBA trade tracker: Wizards, Pistons make deal; who else is on the move ahead of deadline?

The NBA seems wide open.

Several teams, including the upstart Minnesota Timberwolves, Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers, are in position to make a deep playoff run – especially with the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors struggling in a strong Western Conference.

That’s why the Feb. 8 trade deadline is important.

Who will make moves that improve their chances to win now, and who will make moves that impact the future?

Will the Washington Wizards trade Kyle Kuzma? Is Toronto’s Pascal Siakam nearing his final games with the Raptors? Will the Chicago Bulls start unloading players (Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, Alex Caruso) to a team in need?
