Basketball News & NBA Rumors

Most NBA players who signed contracts during the past offseason become eligible on Saturday to be traded. What that means: With a much larger pool of players available for deals, NBA general managers will start spending a lot more time on the phone in the coming weeks.

“It’s about to heat up on Dec. 15,” one Eastern Conference general manager said. “Conversations are definitely happening because once Dec. 15 comes, the pool increases. You’ve heard a lot of rumors about Pau Gasol, Andrea Bargnani. The names are only going to grow on Dec. 15.”
