With updates on Kawhi Leonard, Damian Lillard and others, the latest NBA trade rumors seem to suggest we could see plenty of stars on the move this offseason.
Right now, half of the NBA is in the playoffs and the other half is getting a jump start on the offseason. While not a lot can be done at this point in the early offseason, it doesn’t mean the rumor mill isn’t busy churning out plenty of food for thought.
In fact, we’re just getting into prime NBA trade rumors season. The Los Angeles Lakers are always in the news for some reason. A couple of early (or soon-to-be) playoff exits have also spurred some speculation about the futures of players on those squads. Either way you look at it, the rumors will start to pick up steam in the coming weeks.
For now, though, it’s all a waiting game. It’s not like teams can start talking trades at this point in the year. While that may be the case, that doesn’t mean word about one club’s interest in another’s star player can’t find its way into some public forum.
Well that’s why we’re here today — to see what’s currently out there. What are the latest rumors making their way around the NBA as the first round of the playoffs starts to wind down?
