Trade

It seems as if a resolution to the Russell Westbrook-Oklahoma City Thunder conundrum that Kevin Durant’s departure created will be reached semi-soon. The Thunder, naturally, want a commitment from Westbrook, most likely in the form of a contract re-negotiation. They might settle for his verbal pledge, but the commitment itself is key. They cannot lose [...]

Should the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers hammer out a Jahlil Okafor trade, it doesn’t sound like it will be a mutually beneficial deal. Going one step further, it doesn’t seem like the Sixers will emerge from any completed negotiations with much to show for their troubles, according to philly.com’s Keith Pompey: It doesn’t make [...]

Slow your roll on those Blake Griffin trade rumors, fam. The Los Angeles Clippers have other ideas. They, apparently, want to get another star (or five) to join their current nucleus, not willingly deal one they already employ to a rival NBA team. This latest dispatch comes from the Orange County Register‘s Jeff Miller: Doc [...]

If the Milwaukee Bucks begin the 2016-17 season with Greg Monroe still on the roster, it’ll be a surprise at this point. Monroe has been linked to various trade rumors since before his first season with the Bucks ended, and that chatter is only picking up steam as we move into the dog days of [...]

Ricky Rubio’s future with the Minnesota Timberwolves, under new head coach and president Tom Thibodeau, is safe. For now. We think. Sort of. That was the general message owner Glen Taylor delivered to reporters while in Las Vegas for the NBA’s Summer League festivities, per Sid Hartman of the Star Tribune: One thing Taylor did [...]

Don’t expect a Blake Griffin trade to go through anytime soon. This could be because the Los Angeles Clippers simply aren’t inclined to move him. He is a 27-year-old superstar. Those don’t grow on trees. Of course, he will be a free agent in 2017. It’s only smart of the Clippers to explore moving him, [...]

If the Boston Celtics do not trade for Blake Griffin, then they’ll target Russell Westbrook. And if they don’t get either one of those two, then they’ll target another big name. Such is life in Beantown, apparently. From the Sporting News’ Sean Deveney: The Celtics are up to something. Talk to any front-office executive here [...]

Jeff Teague will have the opportunity to play for his hometown team this season as the Indianapolis native and Pike High School product was traded from the Atlanta Hawks to the Indiana Pacers for the no. 12 pick in the 2016 NBA Draft. Teague is excited to return to his old stomping grounds and apparently [...]

According to a leaked report from GMs around the NBA, many around the league expect the Thunder to deal 27-year-old superstar point guard Russell Westbrook “very soon” as the team gets the feeling he will not re-sign with them in the offseason. [tweet https://twitter.com/RealGM/status/753274314334416896] This sort of move would mark a complete retool for the [...]

According to ESPN Reporter Zach Lowe, the Bulls have officially taken Jimmy Butler off the trade market and are no longer listening to offers from the Timberwolves and the Celtics. [tweet https://twitter.com/TheChiChronicle/status/752882488511455232] Butler seems to be an odd fit for the Bulls with their odd back court of Wade and Rondo. Their best three point [...]
