How to Trade for Superstars or Players in NBA 2K23?

In NBA 2K23, superstars or other players can be traded to another team. This guide will show you how to trade for superstars and the fastest way to request player trade in NBA 2K23.

How to Trade for Superstars?

Trading for a superstar is extremely hard, and you will have to overpay a lot to get these players out of them. Here, we will go through each method you can use to trade for the superstar you want:

1. Getting Assets for a Trade

Assets for trading can be valuable draft picks, expiring contracts, or cap space.

The trick to getting valuable draft picks is by looking at the structure of the team and seeing if they have the potential to lose a ton of games during the season. If you set up a fantasy draft, you can capitalize on getting draft picks from good teams at the start of the season. If you don't want to use this strategy in getting draft picks, you can trade for good draft picks near the end of the trade deadline and pay more.

2. Training and Developing Players

Getting young players with good potential is always a good thing. These young players can be considered assets if you want to move them out for a trade. If you stick with them, they can become your superstar, so you don't have to trade for one.

1). Who are the best young players you want to develop on your team?

Level 1:

Ja Morant
Luka Doncic
Jayson Tatum
Devin Booker
Trae Young

Level 2:

Chet Holmgren
Cade Cunningham
Scottie Barnes
LaMelo Ball

Level 3:

Tyrese Haliburton
Tyrese Maxey
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
DeAndre Ayton

After acquiring these players, you can start developing them to increase their value.

2). How do you develop these young players?

The easiest way to develop them is by giving them a ton of minutes and playing them consistently. You want to increase their morale and happiness throughout the whole season.

Your team's success and chemistry will also matter, as winning translates to development.

3. Clearing cap space with expiring contracts

One of the easiest ways to create a superteam is by signing superstars in free agency. The only way to clear cap space is by getting players on 1-year deals and playing the season.

4. Trading for the superstar

After getting assets and developing a young promising star, you can now try and trade for any superstar you want. If you calculate the star value of a trade, you will eventually give 6-8 stars more in return for a superstar.
