NBA Rumors: 5 Big Names Allegedly On The Trade Block Right Now

Klay Thompson, SG – Golden State Warriors

As you’ve probably heard by now, rumors cropped up this past weekend regarding the potential trading of Klay Thompson. Obviously it led to plenty of talk around the league, as you’d expect from the potential movement of one of the NBA’s best scorers.

The rumor started with Brian Scalabrine, who claimed he read something that the Golden State Warriors were interested in trading him. He also mentioned the Boston Celtics as a potential landing spot.

Obviously the rumor was quickly shot down. CSN Bay Area’s Monte Poole tweeted that he heard from two inside sources that Thompson wasn’t on the trade block.

Then Warriors head coach Steve Kerr came out and gave his two cents, saying Scalabrine “hasn’t called me yet” (via ESPN’s Ethan Strauss).

Scalabrine has connections to both franchises–he played for the Celtics for five seasons and was an assistant coach for the Warriors for a year. It was interesting to see the rumors, but it was nothing more than a few poorly connected dots.

The only reason Thompson is on my list is because this rumor garnered a lot of interest. If you still had any hope of this coming to fruition, please put it to bed.
