It's still early in the National Basketball Association's 2017-2018 season but tongues are already wagging overtime when it comes to trade rumors.
Reports have been surfacing about basketball superstars being left out from last season, players going to social media to express their displeasure and desire to transfer, and teams seemingly regretting their choice of players.
It looks like No. 8 overall pick Frank Ntilikina won't be traded by the New York Knicks. The information is based on a Twitter post from Newsday writer Al Iannazzone. With Carmelo Anthony leaving, it seems that the team would want to keep its cards close to its chest.
With reports about keeping the point guard with them, the Knicks might be forced to build a team around him since the 19-year-old is a good two-way player. Ntilikina tallied nine points, five assists and two rebounds while giving good defense in their game against the Brooklyn Nets last Friday, Oct. 27.
While some players are being kept, others are not sure where they're going to be traded. In the case of Jahlil Okafor, he was one of the players left behind on the trade deals last year.
According to ESPN, the move to have Okafor traded is not only being handled by the team, but also by his representatives as well. Both sides are trying to find a suitable trade for the 21-year-old center. But his limited playing time with the Philadelphia 76ers could make other teams not take him seriously, especially if his talents are not showcased.
With two youngsters in trade woes, a veteran is taking to social media to air out his frustration. Phoenix Suns guard Eric Bledsoe, recently sent out a tweet saying he doesn't want to be with his team anymore.
Reports confirmed that the team has sent the veteran guard home. But that's not the end of it. However, the Phoenix Suns is in an awkward place with Bledsoe wanting out but the team not being able to match his exit salary along with getting a younger player as his replacement.
