The NBA trade rumors are picking up, with Lance Stephenson the latest player rumored to be on the block.
Check out the latest buzz below.
Stephenson Could be Dealt
Stephenson has been struggling mightily since arriving in Charlotte as a free agent, and the team might be the most disappointing in the league so far in terms of living up to expectations in place before the season.
Sources across the league told Grantland that 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,” the website said.
“Now the Hornets are in trouble, and they'll scour the trade market while hoping the status quo roster can find just enough punch to trample over a few of the teams that will surely stumble down the Eastern Conference ladder.
“You could see them making calls on a number of potentially available wings: Randy Foye or Wilson Chandler in the Denver overflow pile; Jeff Green in Boston, capable of swinging between both forward positions; Corey Brewer, suddenly weirdly essential for a banged-up Minnesota team; and in a much lower trade-value range, shooting tweeners like Dorell Wright and old friend Anthony Tolliver.”
