The latest edition of the NBA Stock Exchange is here to help you figure out who’s trending up and who’s trending down around the league.

Welcome to Week 2 of the NBA Stock Exchange, one of HoopsHabit’s newest regular columns!

Every Friday, I’ll be here to take you on a trip around the league where we try to get to grips with some of the league’s most important, or in many cases, most surprising trends.

Should you buy, sell, or hold your favorite NBA stock? From the smallest intricacies in an individual player’s games to the strategies employed by coaches and their teams, I’ll put it all under the microscope to decide what’s worth believing in, and what simply isn’t going to work out.

I’m holding off for now on the politics of one of the NBA’s most controversial franchises, and I’m not panicking on a perennial contender’s sluggish start.

Then finally, I’m selling the value of one of the summer’s biggest contracts, a young player having limited opportunities, a painfully drawn out trade process, and some trade ideas that are way too hurried.

So, without further ado, let’s get down to it!
