Despite all of the NBA trade rumors, you can rest easy knowing these five stars won’t be sent packing before the 2017 deadline.
The NBA trade rumors are running wild as we’re now within a month of the 2017 trade deadline. While the rumor mill may be busy, it’s safe to temper expectations for many of the stars who are being mentioned as “on the block.”
In terms of the aforementioned stars supposedly being shopped, there are quite a few names on that list. Some of the league’s best have been caught up in the pre-deadline madness. While there are obviously some big names likely to be traded this season, chances are the majority of them will stay put.
That’s what we’re here to discuss–the stars who will be staying put for one reason or another.
Most of them were unrealistic trade options from the get-go–their respective teams simply aren’t going to make that deal right now. Others won’t be moved because they’re unappealing trade candidates or the asking price is too high.
