All seems to be quiet on the trade front throughout the NBA landscape.
There is very little chatter going on among NBA executives, in part because there was so much player movement this summer, according to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst (hat tip to RealGM).
A vast majority of the players who signed contracts this offseason will become trade-eligible no earlier than December 15 and that has contributed to the lack of trade negotiations.

“Right now, from what I understand, there’s almost no trade talks going on,” Windhorst said. “Like nothing. It’s the deadest it has been that executives can remember in years. Most because like a third of the league just signed and there’s just not many trade-eligible guys.”
The only player generating any buzz is Wizards guard Bradley Beal, since many executives around the league believe Washington will eventually decide to move him and go into full rebuild mode.
“There’s definitely Bradley Beal discussions already going on,” according to Windhorst.
However, Beal still has two years left on his contract and the Wizards’ front office is holding out hope it can sign him to an extension.
half the league cant be traded
Sorry Tazza
Maybe Tazza can work out a trade for OKC to get rid of CP3.
No, Windhorst said a third of the league can’t be traded. Did you read the whole article?
Did you read? He said “like a 3rd” Pretty exact % isn’t it?
For the last time, Beal hasn’t asked for a trade and the team has publicly stated repeatedly the desire to rebuild around him. Beal isn’t signing the extension because he can just get so much more from the Wizards next off-season.
Enough already.
