Trade

Even in injury, it doesn’t appear Nerlens Noel wants for trade suitors. With the Philadelphia 76ers’ frontcourt logjam alive as ever, we can expect Jahlil Okafor’s and Noel’s names to be bandied about the rumor mill until one or both of them is moved. Though the Sixers have already moved Jerami Grant, they’ve never once [...]

All is quiet on the DeMarcus Cousins trade rumor front for a change, but some NBA executives don’t expect it to stay that way From Sam Amico of Amico Hoops: The Sacramento Kings are off to another lousy start, another start that makes the playoffs seem like a pipe dream — again. So is this [...]

If the Boston Celtics had gotten their way ahead of the 2014 NBA draft, Joel Embiid would have never needed to trust in The Process. On The Ringer’s Bill Simmons’ latest podcast, he divulged that the Celtics tried trading up for Embiid in 2014, who went with the third overall pick in that draft (transcription [...]

We have our first trade of the 2016-17 NBA season. And, surprise surprise, it involves the Philadelphia 76ers.

Don’t get comfortable with this version of the Portland Trail Blazers. It might not be around for long. After spending like crazy over the summer, mostly to retain talent like Maurice Harkless, Meyers Leonard, Allen Crabbe and C.J. McCollum (extension), but also to bring in Evan Turner and Festus Ezeli, people around the league are [...]

Iman Shumpert is not untouchable to the Cleveland Cavaliers, but they are not desperately trying to get rid of him, either. You could say that about, maybe, half the players in the league. But ESPN.com’s Zach Lowe reported that a few teams have inquired about Shumpert’s availability and left with the “impression” that the Cavaliers [...]

Though the Miami Heat are hovering on the brink of a full-tilt rebuild, they apparently don’t have any plans to shop veteran point guard Goran Dragic. Yet. From ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: The Miami Heat aren’t actively trying to trade ?point guard Goran Dragic. We know this because if they were, it wouldn’t take the Heat [...]

LaMarcus Alridge isn’t worried about being traded from the San Antonio Spurs. It seems odd that this would need to be a concern at all for him. He’s one year into a four-year deal, and the Spurs, though transitioning away from the Tim Duncan era, haven’t hinted at being ready for a full-tilt reset. Aldridge [...]

With J.R. Smith re-signed and Mike Dunleavy now on the roster, is Iman Shumpert expendable to the Cleveland Cavaliers? Cleveland, for its part, isn’t quite sure. But it seems to be leaning toward yes, according to ESPN.com’s Zach Lowe: Still: Keep an eye on Iman Shumpert. Several teams, including Minnesota, have inquired about his availability [...]

The Minnesota Timberwolves didn’t flip Ricky Rubio as part of a trade for Jimmy Butler. The rumor mill hasn’t portrayed them as aggressive in trying to move him after drafting point guard Kris Dunn with the fifth overall pick, either.
