The National Basketball Association is less than two months away from happening and the Cleveland Cavaliers and Atlanta Hawks have inked a trade between Mo Williams and Mike Dunleavy and Kyle Korver. And it would not take long before three of these NBA players are traded:
Rudy Gay
Gay is among the NBA stars that has expressed his desire to play for another team with the Sacramento Kings not barging in the playoffs despite him being with the organization for more than three years now. With his season averages of 18.7 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists, Oklahoma City Thunder, which has maintained to be known for their "athletic" and "physical" nature according to Bleacher Report, is still interested with Gay despite on and off talks since July.
Rajon Rondo
It did not take much long before Rondo, who is notorious for complaining for being benched during games, talked about asking to be traded. Rondo's benching has done wonders for the Bulls as they are now 3-1 when another guard starts. He signed a lucrative two-year $28 million contract with the Bulls and that is big of a deal to settle with other teams, but if Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg continues benching the former All-Star, it might be sooner than later before he asks to be shipped to a different team.
Brook Lopez
Lopez has been playing magnificently this season by dominating both the paint and the three-point territory but his Brooklyn Nets are nowhere to be found by having the worst record in the league at 8-28. The All-Star center could be a big addition to teams like the Boston Celtics and the Bulls which are in need of a better frontcourt presence. The Bulls, which ranks last in the league for three-pointers made and percentage, could use a guy like Lopez, who is a 36.4 percent shooter from deep, to open the paint for drives and slashers. However, two first-round picks is what the Nets are asking for in exchange for Lopez, ESPN reported.
