There’s a decent chance a star gets traded during the 2017 NBA Draft, and the latest rumors would suggest it’ll be one of these five players.
With the 2017 NBA Draft just around the corner, the rumor mill is starting to churn out some juicy information. Not only are we getting a good idea of plans for some of the top picks, but we’re also hearing word about a few players who could be traded in the near future.
As we’ve seen in the past, blockbuster trades can go down on draft night. And with how many big names have been mentioned as candidates to swap teams, it wouldn’t be the least bit surprising to see some sparks fly on June 22. At the same time, we can’t get our hopes too high of seeing a major move take place.
For now, though, we can look at some guys who could be on the move. For the following five names, they’ve been rumored to be trade candidates for some time. Most were on the block prior to the 2017 trade deadline, while a couple recently found their way into the headlines.
Either way, they’re here now — right in the middle of the trade talks. Depending on how things play out during the 2017 NBA Draft, they could find themselves wearing different colors next year.

So here they are — the five stars I believe have the best odds of being traded during the draft. Keep in mind, though, that just because their chances are the best doesn’t necessarily mean they’re high. Having a five percent chance when everyone else has one percent still gives you the best odds.
