NBA Trade Rumors

With All Star Weekend underway, trade rumors involving superstars, role players and bench warmers have started flying.

The biggest rumor so far involves a potential three-team deal involving the Houston Rockets, the New York Knicks, and the Washington Wizards, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports. If the deal happens, it would send Tracy McGrady to New York, Al Harrington to Washington, and Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood to Houston.

In addition, the Wizards would likely receive another player, a draft pick, and/or cash to even the scales.

Earlier in the week, Butler was rumored to be headed to the Boston Celtics with teammate Antawn Jamison for sharpshooting guard Ray Allen. However, Michael Lee of the Washington Post reported that such a trade was not in the cards. Instead, a more likely swap would send Butler and DeShawn Stevenson to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for guard/forward Josh Howard and James Singleton. For his part, Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge denied these rumors.

The Charlotte Bobcats are also rumored to have expressed interest in Rasheed Wallace, who is playing for the Celtics now. Another rumor involves a potential trade of Glen “Big Baby” Davis from the Celtics to the Bobcats for D.J. Augustin.

Finally, the Miami Heat are reportedly hot on the trail of Phoenix Suns big man Amar’e Stoudemire. The Heat have supposedly offered Michael Beasley and Dorell Wright or Jermaine O’Neal in exchange.
