NBA trade season begins Sunday, when 87% of players become eligible to be dealt.

With the majority of the contracts signed this summer becoming trade-eligible Dec. 15 -- most others become eligible Jan. 15 -- the first two weeks of December are the typical line of demarcation for teams to begin making calls to get a sense of the trade landscape.

With that in mind, our latest look around the league focuses on seven teams with massive roster decisions heading into the Feb. 6 trade deadline, including why a flurry of opposing scouts are showing up at New Orleans Pelicans games, the futures for trade targets Zach LaVine and Jimmy Butler and what league decision-makers are saying about LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers' plans.
