Many trade rumors during this NBA offseason remains to swirl and as per the latest reports, it is possible that Russell Westbrook will be seen playing for New York Knicks, Jordan Clarkson is rumored to be acquired by Philadelphia 76ers, and Tony Parker might play alongside LeBron James as he is said to be coming to Cleveland Cavaliers.
The training camp for the NBA 2016-2017 season is set to start in just a few weeks and there still are a lot of NBA trade rumors that have not been confirmed yet. First is that of the reports about Westbrook possibly transferring to the New York Knicks. Derrick Rose and Kristaps Porzingis are reportedly being considered to be traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder in order to get Westbrook.
If the Westbrook trade will be pushing through, Inquisitr reported that New York Knicks would have to wait until December 15 due to the contract of the player, which is at $85 million for three years. If Westbrook will be coming to the New York Knicks, it would be a great trade since he plays better than Rose and Porzingis considering the fact that he was one of the top contenders for the season MVP award.
However, one setback in this trade is that Rose has been injured many times throughout his career. Porzingis, on the other hand, has been great in the past season but it remains unclear if he will continue to improve in the upcoming NBA season. It is unclear if the Oklahoma City Thunders will allow the trade since Westbrook is carrying the load for the team.
Another NBA player who has been frequently mentioned in the trade rumors is Jordan Clarkson of the Los Angeles Lakers. Clarkson is rumored to be traded to the Philadelphia 76ers as per Christian Post. Accordingly, Philadelphia 76ers is willing to give up Jahlil Okafor to acquire Clarkson.
Last but not the least, the latest NBA trade rumor is about San Antonio Spurs' player, Tony Parker, joining the Cleveland Cavaliers. If this will proceed, basketball analysts are saying that the only player from the Cleveland Cavaliers possibly traded to acquire Parker is Kyrie Irving, who is the top point guard of the team.
