Boston Celtics Receive: 2023 second-round pick (via Boston Celtics) The Hornets need help at center. Veterans Cody Zeller and Bismack Biyombo can leave via free agency this offseason, and rookie Vernon Carey Jr. played just 115 minutes this season. Thompson, 30, is still good enough to be a starter and would be an upgrade over everyone the Hornets have at the position. He's a good screen setter and rebounder and would bring 78 games (and counting) of playoff experience, including a championship ring with the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers. Boston has leaned toward Robert Williams III, 23, as the future at the position. The Celtics are already at the luxury tax line for next season, and that's before any free-agent signings or a new contract for Evan Fournier.
0 of 5 Nick Wass/Associated Press Hope is fading for many NBA teams, as losses pile up and dreams of even making the play-in tournament start to feel far-fetched. Hope springs eternal each offseason, of course, with franchises already dreaming up deals that can improve their outlooks. For the six teams with the worst records in the NBA (excluding the Oklahoma City Thunder since those 34 draft picks in the next seven drafts carry a LOT of hope), the following moves can get them a little closer to playoff contention or at least lay a better foundation for a rebuild. Cleveland Cavaliers and Minnesota Timberwolves
Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports The Brooklyn Nets have already made one massive trade this season, bringing in superstar guard James Harden from the Houston Rockets. Now, there is a chance that they could look to make another sizable deal ahead of the NBA trade deadline. One name that has been mentioned as a good fit is Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon. Gordon would certainly fit nicely alongside the “Big Three” in Brooklyn and would help the Nets upgrade their front-court. So far this season with the Magic, Gordon has put together a solid year. He has averaged 13.8 points per game to go along with 7.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists. Gordon has shot 42.7 percent from the floor overall and knocked down 36.9 percent from the three-point line.
