There are some NBA rumors that don’t come as a surprise to anyone.
Oh, the Hawks were speaking to a team about John Collins? Sure. They’ve been speaking to every team about John Collins for years.
Alternatively, some of these trades may come as a surprise. It may not be easy to predict why a particular team is interested in trading a particular player. To your eyes, you might think it is a good thing for them to keep what they have.
We have been hearing recent rumors that the Denver Nuggets would be willing to trade Bones Hyland, so consider us surprised to hear that.
Over the course of his two years in the NBA, Hyland has looked every bit the part of a draft-day steal.
Possibly the Dallas Mavericks would be interested in the young combo guard if the Nuggets were serious about the move.
