The NBA trade rumors are starting to heat up, with more and more possibly deals being reported.
Check out the latest buzz below.
Possible Targets for Stephenson
Lance Stephenson is now the biggest subject of trade rumors, after Zach Lowe of Grantland said the Hornets “have been aggressive making trade calls.”
“The Hornets are searching for upgrades on the wing and at power forward, per those sources, and they are willing to talk turkey on basically anyone other than Kemba Walker and Al Jefferson. Free agents signed this past offseason can’t be traded until December 15, and few would be surprised if the Hornets make and take calls on Lance Stephenson ahead of that trigger date,” he said.
Lowe named a number of players in his report--including Randy Foye of the Denver Nuggets, Jeff Green of the Boston Celtics, and Corey Brewer of the Minnesota Timberwolves--but missed one possible trade.
Lakers Nation says that the Lakers could trade big man Jordan Hill for Stephenson.
“It’s possible the Lakers could dangle Jordan Hill as trade bait, but neither player can be dealt until Dec. 15 with Stephenson and Hill both signing new deals last summer. Hill is having a breakout year with the Lakers with impressive numbers across the board. The veteran forward/center is averaging a career-high 13.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game,” it said.
“Hill is currently leading the league in offensive rebounds along with Tyson Chandler at 4.1 per game. Losing Hill would be a costly blow for the Lakers in the frontcourt and on the glass, but it might be worth the risk for an upgrade at small forward.”
