While players in NBA 2K23 cannot choose the team they start their career with, they can request a trade later once they start making a name for themselves in the NBA season. Depending on your goal, the process can become a bit of a grind as it will require playing a few season games. However, the steps are the same regardless, and proper preparation could allow players to be traded how they please.
Getting traded is one of the best ways to ensure players are living out their dream NBA career. They can leave a team they're dissatisfied with to play somewhere more aligned with their interests, or they can work on getting traded to play on their favorite teams alongside superstar players in NBA 2K23. Regardless of players' goals, requesting a trade can be a worthwhile endeavor, and is fortunately straightforward.

In order to request a trade, go to the main menu and navigate to MyCareer. Then, select the "Request a Trade" option. Once that's been done, the game will ask players to wait three in-game days, which translates to five real-life minutes. After the wait, players will now be traded to a new team. It's important to know that players can increase their chance of being chosen by a specific team by working on improving the interest rate of teams. This can be done by performing well in regular season games in NBA 2K23. It should also be noted that trading won't be possible if no teams have any interest in them at the time of the request.
Considerations for Requesting a Trade in NBA 2K23
Before attempting to request a trade in NBA 2k23, players need to keep a few considerations in mind. Firstly, players should know that there is more than one way to be traded. While playing well in season games is the best way to be noticed by players' preferred teams, another option is to intentionally play poorly so that players' current team will want to trade them. The downside to this option is players will be traded to a random team rather than a specific one when a trade is requested.
One more element to keep in mind is that if players want to get traded to a specific team, they should not select the position of a player that is already playing well in NBA 2K23. Unless players are playing phenomenally in that specific position, it will decrease the chance of the host team considering a trade. Players will have a better chance of playing on their preferred team by selecting a position whose player is performing average. Players should have no issue requesting trades with this new knowledge in NBA 2K23.
