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

Anthony Davis, PF – New Orleans Pelicans

Based on the rumors mentioned on this list, the Celtics are going to be busy in the next three months. In fact, they’ve even been mentioned as players for Anthony Davis, one of the NBA’s biggest superstars.

As we’ve seen this season, the Celtics could use some help on the boards. They’ve been battling injuries, and have two of their top power forwards scheduled to hit free agency next offseason. So why not add one of the league’s top big men to the mix?

According to CSNNE.com, Davis could be in the team’s crosshairs between now and February.

Obviously it would depend on whether or not the Pelicans would be willing to part with Davis. While highly unlikely, he could demand a trade if New Orleans continues to be one of the NBA’s worst teams.

Superstars tend to want out when the going gets really, really tough–and it’s trending that way.

As CSNNE.com mentioned, the Celtics have more than enough assets to make a trade worth the Pelicans’ time. Still, it would be difficult for New Orleans to part with its franchise player no matter what Danny Ainge offered them.

Just like everything else on this list, this is just a rumor and nothing more–at this point. If the Pelicans continue to tank, though, you better believe trading Davis could become an actual possibility.
