If you want to know what’s going on, sometimes, you need to connect the dots. Reading the NBA’s trade market requires some dot connecting too.
Use a little deductive reasoning. If X is Y, and Y is 2, then X is 2. You need to put it all together if it’s not already put together for you.
As far as NBA trade rumors are concerned, sometimes, two players are heavily rumored to be available. If you read between the lines, there could be something there.
The rumor mill may not suggest that they’ll be traded for each other – you’ve got to connect those dots. It doesn’t always play out that way, but the connections were there when it does.
For example, John Collins of the Atlanta Hawks is said to be on the trade block. So is Gary Trent Jr. of the Toronto Raptors.
Could they be swapped for each other?
