5 NBA players not named Giannis who could be traded on draft night

Key Points:

• Giannis Antetokounmpo is expected to be traded before the 2026 NBA draft, with the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat emerging as leading contenders; Boston's offer centers on Jaylen Brown, while Miami's includes Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., the No. 13 pick, and additional assets.
• Kawhi Leonard remains a potential trade target, especially for the Heat if they miss out on Giannis, but uncertainty surrounds his availability due to an ongoing NBA investigation into the Clippers' alleged salary-cap circumvention involving Leonard.
• Ja Morant is likely to be traded by the Memphis Grizzlies this offseason, with the Heat also interested if they fail to acquire Giannis; the Grizzlies may wait until after the Antetokounmpo deal to move him.
• Domantas Sabonis of the Sacramento Kings is reportedly available for trade, with past talks involving the Charlotte Hornets and Toronto Raptors, though his injury history and large upcoming salary could impact his trade value.
• Trey Murphy III of the New Orleans Pelicans is attracting strong trade interest, with teams like the Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers showing interest; the Pelicans are waiting to see how the Giannis trade develops before making moves.
