The NBA trade deadline is just two days away (Thursday at 2:00pm CT), and our sister site Hoops Rumors (@HoopsRumors on Twitter) has all the latest news and rumors for each of the league’s 30 teams!
The 2023/24 season has been unusual so far, with eight completed in-season trades to this point, including seven before the calendar flipped to February. Typically, most in-season trades aren’t completed until the week (often the day) of the deadline, but several teams decided to make major roster decisions earlier than normal.
In part because several noteworthy trade candidates have already swapped teams in 2023/24, the rumor mill hasn’t featured many All-Star caliber players of late, but there’s always a chance that a disgruntled player asks out – that’s what happened last year when Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant requested trades and were moved shortly thereafter.
That doesn’t mean the rumor mill has been quiet, of course. The Bucks, who won the championship in 2021, are reportedly being aggressive in looking for upgrades. On the other end of the spectrum, you have the Wizards, who are reportedly looking to accumulate assets in the first year of their rebuild. The Hawks have also been active in trade discussions, according to multiple reports.
Will the Sixers look to shake things up after reigning MVP Joel Embiid underwent knee surgery on Tuesday? What about the Bulls, who have six-time All-Star DeMar DeRozan possibly heading for unrestricted free agency in the summer? Will the Warriors or Lakers make moves amid disappointing seasons?
For the latest updates on those stories and more, check out Hoops Rumors today! Last season saw a total of 17 in-season trades — including 12 on deadline day alone — and we’ll likely see a flurry of activity over the next few days. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter – @HoopsRumors.
No thanks. Basketball is more boring than golf.
Aw be nice wreckage. They don’t come to our boards to slag off our snoozefest of low scoring and figureskating ;-)
I’m not going to their site. They’re advertising on this site and I am kindly declining the invite.
Wreck, I’m not 100% sure but I think they’re all the same owners? I love the baseball and basketball sites for immediate up-to-date information and come over here for the Sabres stuff a few times a week. Quality info and great up-to-date timing.
I Love coming here for the NHL trading deadline too. I think they do a great job.
Yup the NBA’s starting to get that way with the flopping and the refs etc. But I still follow it. How about college hoops? March Madness is a lot of fun.
But yes I was hoping my Buffalo Sabres would do something this year and I would be a little more excited but they stink again and it’s another tough season.
When NBA players get traded, Do they have to immediately inform there parole officers? And get permission to move to another city? Just wondering how that works.
Basketball is not like hockey. The NHL players who are traded remove their front teeth and pack extra sets in their suitcase before heading out. Then they notify their Gunk resistance application treatment professionals in the new city upon their arrival.
By the way go Sabres.
