The NBA trading deadline is still over a month away, but that hasn't stopped the rumor mill from turning and with news that the Knicks have spoken internally about a Carmelo Anthony for Blake Griffin, here are some other deals that could be going down includes names like Andre Miller, Klay Thompson, Andrew Bynum for Richard Jefferson, Goran Dragic and Eric Bledsoe with teams like the Sacramento Kings and Chicago Bulls as options.
The Kings look like they will continue to be an active team as the trading deadline gets closer, as they have made deals for Rudy Gay and Derrick Williams already and could be looking for more, with reports of Klay Thompson and Andre Miller being options. According to CBS Sports, the Kings are interested in dealing for the veteran Nuggets point guard and this comes after he had an incident with head coach Brian Shaw, sparking many trade rumors, while Thompson is another target for the team since he will be a restricted free agent after next year and the Kings feel that they are putting together a solid roster of young talent.
Miller could be a prime target for teams looking for veterans at the deadline after Ty Lawson has been playing more minutes as the starting point guard and after acquiring Gay, the Kings feel that they are a only a few moves away from being a solid team in the west. Thompson could be a player to build around and with the Miller rumors coming up after the issues with Shaw, he could be an option for a number of other teams as well, including the Los Angeles Lakers. The Warriors have a decent amount of money in Stephen Curry and David Lee as well as Andre Iguodala and after signing Andrew Bogut, the team may not have the space for Thompson and now they could look to deal him for some relief around the deadline and the Kings could be an option.
The Suns are in an interesting place after getting off to a good start this season, but according to CBS Sports, the team could look to deal either Goran Dragic or Eric Bledsoe, with it likely being Dragic after they acquired Bledsoe this summer and some teams could be motivated to try and deal for the guard. Dragic was mentioned in trade talks over the summer and with him having a player option for next season, he could end up being a free agent and leaving for nothing, meaning the Suns could look to deal him to someone like the Bulls. The Cleveland Cavaliers have Andrew Bynum and while they haven't had any legitimate deals on the table yet, they are looking to trade him by the time his deadline on Monday when the rest of his contract kicks in. There is a chance the team would waive him as well.
