NBA Trade Rumors: 6 big-names to keep an eye on ahead of the deadline

Big-name NBA trade candidates, Honorable mentions

Bradley Beal, Washington Wizards: As much as we want to see the big-name trade at the deadline, I’d be extremely shocked if Bradley Beal was moved by the Washington Wizards. Nearly every team will call Washington in an attempt to pry Beal free, but even if the plan is to trade him eventually, it’d be highly unlikely to happen in-season.

Zach LaVine, Chicago Bulls: Zach LaVine is a name that could emerge in trade talks but ultimately someone that I expect to be moved. It’s already been reported that teams are keeping an eye on his situation in Chicago and the Bulls will get calls leading up to the trade deadline. It would be surprising if he was moved, however.

Buddy Hield, Sacramento Kings: The play of Tyrese Haliburton could make Buddy Hield expendable at the trade deadline. He’s found his names in the rumor mill in the past and if Sacramento wants to move in a different direction, this could be a real option at the trade deadline.
