There are a slew of names that have been kicked up in trade rumors but with Kevin Love on his way to the Cleveland Cavaliers, there needs to be another new hot name to watch when it comes to trade deadline rumors and who will be switching uniforms this season.
According to NBA scribe Chuck Myron, one name to watch — on what seems like an annual basis — is Rajon Rondo as the Celtics guard is most likely to be traded at or before the deadline this year.
"Rondo’s probably the best bet. Maybe Brook Lopez if he returns to health. If the Grizzlies get off to a slow start, I’m sure they’ll be chatter about Marc Gasol, though I don’t think he’ll be traded."
Brook Lopez is another interesting name, as is Marc Gasol but the likelihood that Gasol is traded is rather low considering how badly the Grizzlies want to keep him. Lopez can opt out at the end of the season, which is why the Nets would move him but the question with him is about his foot and how well it will hold up this season.
