NBA Trade Rumors

The Oklahoma City Thunder are not the Golden State Warriors or San Antonio Spurs, but they’re trying like hell to keep pace with them. And they’re doing a pretty good job. Oklahoma City has spent most of the season vacillating between being the third- and fourth-best team in the league. If and when the Thunder [...]

Channing Frye is apparently a hot commodity. According to the Sporting News’ Sean Deveney, interest in the Orlando Magic’s 32-year-old stretch big is high: Now, league sources tell Sporting News, changes could be coming to the Magic’s promising young roster ahead of this month’s trading deadline. Already, the team has received multiple inquiries on big [...]

D’Angelo Russell is not on the Los Angeles Lakers’ list of players to trade. Because, um, duh? Well, maybe not “duh.” According to Hoops Critic’s Brian Geltzeiler, Russell’s name has, in fact, come up in negotiations: In taking to people around the league on who has been made available in trade talks a very surprising [...]

The New Orleans Pelicans’ 2015-16 season is not for the faint of heart. Injuries have left them outside of the playoff picture. Anthony Davis remains a magnet for contact. Poor, impulsive spending habits have made it so that, even if the Pelicans are healthy, they won’t be worthy of more than a first-round exit at [...]

Jeff Teague is available to be poached from the Atlanta Hawks, and the Utah Jazz, it seems, have made some calls.

Kevin Martin and the Minnesota Timberwolves aren’t speeding toward a divorce. They’re slowly, painfully, with the swiftness of a three-toed sloth, slogging toward a divorce. Martin has meandered in and out—mostly in—of the trade rumor mill over the last few weeks. He only recently returned to the rotation following a seven-game stint inside the “DNP” [...]

Sweet mother of all that’s ridiculous. Markieff Morris has seemed like a lock to be traded at some point this season for a while. The relationship between himself and the Phoenix Suns imploded once the team dealt his brother, Marcus, to the Detroit Pistons, and the Suns have re-entered NBA purgatory after losing Eric Bledsoe [...]

The Milwaukee Bucks? Trade Greg Monroe? Less than a season into his two-plus-one-year deal? Keep dreaming, dreamers. That’s the Bucks’ reaction to the notion they should deal the big man, anyway. Zach Lowe of ESPN.com floated the idea in a column last Friday, noting that Milwaukee isn’t actually shopping him: Parker will find NBA identity [...]

Joakim Noah’s shoulder injury puts the Chicago Bulls in a tricky situation. The 30-year-old center needs to undergo surgery on his left shoulder and will miss four to six months, ending his 2015-16 season.
