The NBA trade rumors this offseason is becoming more interesting and unbelievable. As we wait for the new NBA season to start, let's enjoy the latest NBA trade buzz. According to reports, a three-way trade is in the works among Washington Wizards, Los Angeles Clippers and New York Knicks. NBA fans might see Chris Paul, Derrick Rose and John Wall wearing a new jersey in the upcoming season.
According to HNGN, a potential blockbuster trade with Washington Wizards, Los Angeles Clippers and New York Knicks is in the works. The said trade will involve Derrick Rose, Kristaps Porzingis, John Wall, Otto Porter and Chris Paul.
Per the report, Derrick Rose and Kristaps Porzingis will play for Washington Wizards. Meanwhile, John Wall and Otto Porter will join Los Angeles Clippers. Lastly, Chris Paul will head to New York Knicks.
This trade will benefit Knicks even if they lose Kristaps Porzingis because the team will receive Chris Paul. Many believe that Paul and Carmelo Anthony's tandem will make New York Knicks a contender.
Aside from this, although Kristaps Porzingis and Chris Paul play different positions, acquiring Paul will never go wrong. Chris Paul has already shown his prowess, expertise and skills in the NBA league by being a nine-time NBA All-Star and an NBA All-Star Game MVP. Paul has tons of achievements in his NBA career.
However, while this trade seems appealing for New York Knicks, one should still take this report with a grain of salt. ESPN previously reported that LA Clippers' head coach Doc Rivers admitted earlier that they are not welcome to any trade talks involving Chris Paul and Blake Griffin. Clippers want to keep Paul and Griffin until the two players retire.
The trade could be due rumors circulating online that New York Knicks is eyeing Chris Paul if Derrick Rose fails to impress the team. Meanwhile, John Wall is also rumored to having a feud with his running mate Bradley Beal. However, just like LA Clippers, Washington Wizards have no plans in trading Wall, Fansided reported.
