Trade

The Chris Bosh saga continues and may not end until he retires. Whenever that may be. He still has not been medically cleared, and Pat Riley has made it clear that Bosh’s future with the team is over and he is not in their future plans. Riles may end up cutting Bosh, but probably won’t [...]

Word came down over the weekend that the Chicago Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks had come to an agreement on a trade to send Michael Carter-Williams to the Bulls in exchange for Tony Snell. It became official Monday morning. [tweet https://twitter.com/ESPNSteinLine/status/788029771670183940] Carter-Williams had been a huge disappointment for the Bucks since trading for him at the [...]

https://thehoopdoctors.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/demarcus-cousins.jpg DeMarcus Cousins’ up-and-down relationship with the Kings brass over the years has been well documented. If were just an average player, there really wouldn’t be much to discuss. But he’s arguably the best big man in the league, so that always makes these types of situations sticky. It has been rumored that the Kings [...]

Nerlens Noel and Jahlil Okafor are both still members of the Philadelphia 76ers…for now. But that could change…eventually. The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski dropped this tidbit at the end of his report that the Sixers had signed Elton Brand to a one-year deal: The Sixers have had periodic trade talks this summer involving Noel and Okafor [...]

Serge Ibaka never asked to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder. Such a stance has been up for debate since he was traded to the Orlando Magic. Was he unhappy playing third fiddle to Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook? Displeased with his role in the offense? Ready to take on a new challenge elsewhere, as a [...]

Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder are forever. Or at least through next season. Anyone who thought that the Thunder might consider trading Westbrook after renegotiating his contract is apparently in for a rude awakening. Though Westbrook will be a more attractive trade chip in February, because he’ll have delayed his foray into free [...]

The Nerlens Noel saga continues. Okay, to be honest, it’s not really a saga. The Philadelphia 76ers just have too many damn bigs and need to move one. Jahlil Okafor is the easy pick, but interest must not have been high on him in recent months, otherwise he’d be gone already. Dealing Nerlens Noel is [...]

Will Kenneth Faried begin next season in a Denver Nuggets uniform? It’s a fair question, now more so than ever, knowing that Wilson Chandler should be healthy and given Nikola Jokic’s breakout rookie campaign. The Nuggets simply have too many bodies in their frontcourt, and Faried figures less into their future than any of them, [...]

The Milwaukee Bucks’ attempts to shop Greg Monroe make up the worst-kept secret in the NBA—because it’s not a secret. Monroe doesn’t fit what the Bucks are trying to do. He is a defensive liability, and his post game isn’t as valuable to a team that can’t surround him with a ton of shooters. The [...]

After trading for Serge Ibaka, then signing Bismack Biyombo and Jeff Green to big-money deals, you’d think the Orlando Magic would be gearing up for a Nikola Vucevic trade. They aren’t. Not even when they know Aaron Gordon probably isn’t the best fit at small forward? Not even then. From ESPN.com’s Zach Lowe: The potential [...]
