NBA Trade Rumors

Feel that? It’s the sensation of the NBA’s trade season taking over. Most of the league’s trade restrictions were lifted on Tuesday, increasing the pool of movable talent by a considerable margin. The rumor mill is already alive with speculation and reports, officially beginning the pre-February 18 deadline frenzy. But the New Orleans Pelicans and [...]

DeMarcus Cousins is back in the rumor mill—this time without the usual accompanying anecdote detailing an irreparable rift between he and Sacramento Kings head coach George Karl. Sources told Sheridan Hoops’ Michael Scotto that the Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat are all trying their hand at prying Cousins out of Sacramento: Sacramento Kings [...]

Dwight Howard has already torched bridges with the Los Angeles Lakers and Orlando Magic, and he may now be ready to set another one ablaze. The Houston Rockets superstar is, according to Sheridan Hoops’ Chris Sheridan (h/t Bleacher Report), reportedly unhappy with fellow Houston Rockets superstar James Harden: Dwight Howard is extremely unhappy in Houston [...]

DeMarcus Cousins will not be wearing Boston Celtics green anytime soon. So, stop photoshopping things. All is not well with the Sacramento Kings, because all is never well with the Sacramento Kings. They’ve won three in a row, but they don’t look anything like the fringe playoff team they strived to be over the offseason, [...]

Surely the Toronto Raptors won’t trade Jonas Valanciunas. Or, you know, maybe they will. Valencianas has been one of the more polarizing trade-rumor magnets over the last couple years. He can be a ball-stopper, doesn’t pass enough and isn’t you’re typical modern-day big man in that he seldom shoots outside 10 feet of the basket. [...]

Hey! Psst. Hey, you! Did you know Markieff Morris wants to be traded from the Phoenix Suns? Of course you did, because you’ve haven’t been living on Pluto these last few months, and even if you were, you’d probably still know. I’m not sure how, and I know it’s impossible on every front ever, but [...]

Jose Calderon is a snarky guy. That, or a totally honest guy. Trade rumors are once again dogging the New York Knicks, even though they have little to deal, because, well, they are the New York Knicks. This is what happens, and it’s usually worse around this time, during the dog days of summer, when [...]

I’m rubber, you’re glue, whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you. Sorry, I was channeling my inner Markieff Morris for a second. Things have been weird between he and the Phoenix Suns for a while now. The team traded his brother, Marcus, to the Detroit Pistons, and both of the Morris [...]

The Sacramento Kings are an off-court tire fire, but hey, at least they’re honest about it. Vice president of basketball operations Vlade Divac has openly discussed the growing rift between head coach George Karl and franchise cornerstone DeMarcus Cousins. Cousins himself has always been an interesting sound bite, and when rumors of discord between he [...]

Ty Lawson’s future with the Denver Nuggets doesn’t look good. Admittedly, neither does his trade value. After getting arrested in Los Angeles for driving while under the influence in the wee hours of Tuesday morning—his second DUI offense in less than six months—Lawson is no longer a trade commodity. He’s an off-court liability, and even [...]
