There are a lot of interesting storylines occurring around the NBA at the moment. Recently, we saw Chris Paul get traded to the Rockets to join MVP candidate James Harden while rumors continue to swirl around the Knicks, Pacers, and Jazz. What happens next?
Upon (FINALLY) firing Phil Jackson, the world is watching at what happens next for the franchise. While it is more likely than not that Carmelo Anthony stays, what exactly will happen now that he is openly declared he would take less to join the Cavs?
A buyout opportunity would be a godsend for the Cavs, but unlikely. What they end up doing remains to be seen though.
While just completing the biggest trade of the year in acquiring Chris Paul, the Rockets seem intent on convincing Paul George to come tag along for the ride. Houston has gone on record that they are still going to be aggressive and will pursue another star to complement their dynamic duo.
The Celtics are in a interesting position because they have so many young assets to leverage in any trade. Since the end of the season for the Jazz, Hayward has been rumored to join the Celtics because of his affinity for coach Brad Stevens (coached him in college) and also the blossoming team that they have. Hayward is also meeting with the Heat on Sunday, among other teams. A crazy situation that could occur would be: Hayward and Blake Griffin joining forces somewhere (either the Heat, or the Celtics).
The Celtics are also in the running for Paul George. Seems like they are in the mix with everything so you never know.
There is lots of movement all around the league, but these are some of the big names that might be moving soon.
What do you guys think? What would you love to see?
