More trade rumors are coming out in the NBA grapevine as the opening date of the 2014-2015 season fast approaches.
One of the more recent persistent rumors that has come out recently is the possible trade between Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert with a couple of guys from the Cleveland Cavaliers. According to a report from the Digital Journal, the Cavs would like to have a solid line up of players this season to increase their chances of reaching the Playoffs.
Earlier, the team managed to persuade LeBron James to return from the Miami Heat. They have also snagged a deal to get Kevin Love from the Minnesota Timberwolves. Still, the team is looking for a big guy to complete their new lineup. That is why they are leaning toward getting Hibbert to join their already power-packed roster, for added size and depth on the painted area.
In their end, the Pacers are looking toward acquiring center Anderson Varejao and guard Dion Waiters from the Cavs to make the trade work.
No word yet if this possible deal will push through at the moment.
Meanwhile, veteran player Gerald Wallace expressed that he does not want to be traded off from Boston Celtics.
Speculations came out that he wouldl be the next player to be put on the trade list, after teammate Rajon Rondo was said to be traded sometime this season. However, Wallace said that he has no intentions of leaving Boston anytime soon.
In an interview with The Boston Herald, the veteran forward said, "I don't want to go nowhere else. I'm happy here. I'm content here with these guys."
Other big names mentioned in the trading list include Paul Millsap and Goran Dragic. Their expiring contracts make them the perfect candidates to be traded this season before they can be officially considered as free agents.
The 2014-2015 Season of NBA will start on Oct. 28 with a game between last year's champs San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Texas.
