NBA: 5 stars who should be on the trade block after a rough start to 2021

5 players that could find their way to the NBA Trade block after slow starts in 2021

The 2020-21 NBA season has gotten off to quite a start. After the first few weeks of the season, there are plenty of expected and unexpected storylines that have stolen headlines – and that’s not even counting the navigating that the league is having to do as it tries to conduct business (as usual as possible) in the midst of a global pandemic.

While the standings are still somewhat confusing, with many playoff teams from last season getting off to rough starts, most of that could be attributed to the small sample size that we’ve had thus far. Through roughly 10 games, there is certainly a fair share of surprises. Still, it’s also not something we should overreact to just yet.

That said, many teams need to look squarely at themselves in the mirror and decide what their next month or two is going to look like. And if they can’t turn it around, it perhaps could be time for a change.
