The NBA trade deadline is less than a month away, which means teams are facing their first real decisions since training camp.

Just as importantly, the stretch of roster stasis that begins after the deadline and extends until July 1 means squads throughout the league won’t have another chance to make meaningful changes for a long time. For some of them, the next few weeks will be the most significant of the year.

We’ll touch on all those broad and complex issues while making an effort to keep things as simple as possible. In the end, it’ll come down to one question: trade or keep?
