Who will be the next star to be traded?

Now that James Harden has been dealt, the next natural jump is to try and pinpoint the next start that will be traded in the NBA. That’s generally how it works in the Association. Many times, fans are more intrigued by transactions rather than what’s happening on the floor. And that’s OK.

That said, it’s tough to predict what star will push for a trade next. There are a few candidates that come to mind, headlined by Bradley Beal and Zach LaVine. Each of those star players is on a lowly team that doesn’t have much hope of competing any time soon. Generally, that’s a recipe for a disgruntled star.

However, neither one of these players has exactly hinted at the fact they’re unhappy with their situations. That makes it difficult to predict any one of these players being traded anytime soon. If that changes, there should be several interested teams. At this point, your guess is as good as mine.
