Trade

For the first time in the past couples years, DeAndre Jordan has an agent—a change that could spell the end to his time with the Los Angeles Clippers. According to ESPN.com’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Jordan has hired Jeff Schwartz to represent him, a move that comes in advance of his free agency (player option), but also [...]

The Cavaliers took a shot to the gut this off-season when their 25-year-old superstar point guard Kyrie Irving, made known his request to be traded. After losing all leverage when the report became public and scrambling to make a deal happen before training to prevent any disruption to the team harmony entering the 2017-18 season, [...]

Jahlil Okafor hasn’t yet given up hope that he’ll soon escape the Philadelphia 76ers. Buried on the bench, with his fourth-year team option long since declined, he knows his future isn’t in the City of Brotherly Love. The Sixers have Joel Embiid, Dario Saric, Ben Simmons and Richaun Holmes to develop up front. Okafor’s future [...]

One benefit to Kyrie Irving’s departure from the Cleveland Cavaliers: We get to see a more aggressive LeBron James down the stretch. Not that James has been particularly passive late in games through years past. He’s always struck a nice balance. His first inclination is too pass, so he often does, and he’s spent the [...]

Would the Cleveland Cavaliers consider dangling Tristan Thompson in a trade for DeAndre Jordan? At least one NBA source believes they would. As Cleveland.com’s Joe Vardon wrote while responding to a mailbag question: Hey, @jeneraljosh: DeAndre Jordan’s numbers are down this season. He’s averaging 10.4 points and shooting .664 from the field (he only shoots twos). Even [...]

The Phoenix Suns are clearly in the middle of their first complete rebuild in franchise history and are in the process of extricating all of their veteran players for more youth and potential as they re-construct their team moving forward. Now that Eric Bledsoe is gone, the next step is to move one of their [...]

If Jahlil Okafor ends up on the Boston Celtics, it doesn’t sound like he’ll arrive via trade. From The Vertical’s Chris Mannix: That DPE is an interesting tool for Boston to work with. My understanding of the situation is that the Celtics would prefer to hold onto it until closer to the buyout deadline, when [...]

When the Phoenix Suns made Eric Bledsoe available—or when they were forced to make him available, whichever way you prefer to say it—two teams stood out as the best potential suitors: The Milwaukee Bucks, and the Denver Nuggets. One of these two, the Bucks, ended up snagging him for what still appears to be pennies [...]

The Phoenix Suns might be able to move Greg Monroe after all. The big man came over in the Eric Bledsoe trade, and at 27, joining a team with a jillion other bigs on the roster, he doesn’t really fit into the team’s long-term plans. But he has just one year and $17.8 million left [...]

What’s next for the Phoenix Suns after trading Eric Bledsoe to the Milwaukee Bucks? Figuring out what to do with Greg Monroe. And then, maybe, striking a deal with the Philadelphia 76ers for Jahlil Okafor. From ESPN.com’s Adrian Wojnarowski: The possibility of a contract buyout could give the Suns freedom to be creative with an [...]
