The NBA trade rumors are heating up with just weeks to go until the deadline hits.
Check out the latest buzz below.
Miles Plumlee
The Phoenix Suns are trying to deal Miles Plumlee, who has slipped behind Alex Len and Brandan Wright in the team’s center rotation.
Plumlee started almost every game last season but Len has improved steadily this season, pushing Plumlee to the bench. Wright’s acquisition has limited Plumlee’s minutes even more.
Plumlee’s agent Mark Bartelstein and the team are working together to try to find a landing spot for the third-year player, sources told ESPN.
The Suns are seeking at least one future-first round pick for the 26-year-old, who was selected 26th overall in the 2012 draft by the Indiana Pacers.
Suns blog Valley of the Suns believes the team won’t trade Plumlee unless it can get that first-round pick, or unless he’s part of a bigger deal. “There’s no rush just yet,” it said.
Plumlee, 26, is averaging 4.7 points on 56 percent shooting this season. He’s also averaging 5.4 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game.
