#2 Courtney Lee could be traded ahead of the deadline
Courtney Lee was traded to the Dallas Mavericks back in January as part of the deal that sent DeAndre Jordan, Wesley Matthews, and Dennis Smith Jr. to New York. Lee went on to make 22 appearances during the final months of the 19-20 season as he found a spot in the Dallas rotation. However, the veteran has featured just five times during the current campaign.
Lee's contract will also expire next summer, and Dana Gauruder of Hoops Rumors believes that the Mavericks will look to trade the 34-year-old:

After two solid seasons with the Knicks, Lee’s career has declined the past two seasons. Lee’s value to Dallas is mainly his expiring contract, which could prove useful as the Mavs look to acquire another piece to their vastly improved squad.
In his five appearances for the Mavs this season, Lee has averaged 4.8 points on 59% shooting from the field.
