As the All-Star break and trade deadline approaches, there are plenty of ongoing rumors in the NBA today related to potential trades, signings and retirements.
It is an exciting time to be a fan since teams are more likely to take risks around this period than any other time of the year in hopes of making a strong run in the postseason. By now, most teams are well aware of expectations for the rest of the season.
The stronger teams are already aiming to recruit some buyout targets, as well as useful players on the trade block. As for the teams headed to the lottery, it is that time of the year where they shift all their efforts into developing their younger prospects, knowing that wins aren’t very important at the moment.
Plenty of reports appear every week, some of which come from reputable sources such as ESPN and Yahoo, which is why we can’t take them lightly.
