Keep track of all the whispers and rumblings leading up to the NBA Trade Deadline, where a number of teams are looking to make big moves

The NBA Trade Deadline is finally here, a just a few hours away. While we’ve already seen a number of trades in the last few days, there’s no question that we could be on the verge for one of the most active deadline days in recent memory.

From the Los Angeles Lakers to the Houston Rockets, there are a number of teams, in both conferences, that will be looking to make a deal – big or small – at the deadline. Will Marc Gasol and Mike Conley be traded? Will the Pelicans move Anthony Davis? Will there be a mystery team or big-name player that gets moved out of left field?

We’ll keep you updated throughout the day with the rumors and deals that are reported in the house leading up to the actual deadline, which is later this afternoon (3:00 p.m. ET).
