The NBA trade market can make for some exciting times.
Fans love a big trade. It changes the league. A team that wasn’t on their radar can suddenly become a significant player in the race for the NBA title.
At the same time, every trade can’t be so exciting. Some deals are made out of sheer convenience. Teams may be looking for a better-fitting role player – or even just to shed salary.
For example, the Los Angeles Lakers could stand a rotation player who suits them more than Patrick Beverley.

Meanwhile, the Knicks could be looking to clear salary space.
