NBA Trade Rumors

Just 43 games into Roy Hibbert’s California tenure, the Los Angeles Lakers may already be planning its abrupt end. Hibbert has always been considered a one-year stopgap. His contract comes off the books after this season, and the Lakers are going to be flush with cap space over the summer. He was supposed help bridge [...]

The Chicago Bulls are apparently sending a message to the rest of the NBA. It reads: “Let’s make a deal!” With a crazy logjam in the frontcourt, the Bulls have started to gauge the values of bigs Pau Gasol, Taj Gibson and Joakim Noah around the league, according to Bleacher Report’s Ric Bucher, as transcribed [...]

The New Orleans Pelicans are not actively shopping free-agent-to-be Ryan Anderson. And the team’s head coach, Alvin Gentry, clearly wants us to know that much. After previously saying the Pelicans weren’t making calls to gauge Anderson’s value around the league, Gentry reiterated that any interest in Anderson is coming from potential suitors, not New Orleans’ [...]

This thing between Ty Lawson and the Houston Rocket isn’t working out. Lawson has basically fallen out of interim head coach J.B. Bickerstaff’s rotation, and the Rockets are desperate for change following a god-awful start to the 2015-16 season. Any change general manager Daryl Morey makes is almost sure to include Lawson—assuming, of course, the [...]

Losers of their last three games, the Chicago Bulls are entering prime rumor-mill-fixture territory. Players are voicing concerns about how the team is playing and being run, and the Bulls have a glut of tweener assets—players who are either intriguing as prospects for a rebuilding squad or valuable to a squad looking to compete now.

Over the years, DeMarcus Cousins to the Boston Celtics has become a popular rumor to recycle. But in order for him to end up in Beantown, the Sacramento Kings and Celtics actually need to hold trade talks. Which, apparently, they have not.
