Chris Kaman, Pau Gasol, Ramon Sessions, Dwight Howard along with Kirk Hinrich are all up for trade. DH12 is still an elite NBA center but his contract dispute has forced the magic's hand. Along with Howard both 2010 all star big men, Pau Gasol and Chris Kaman, are up for trade. Gasol has been a great for both of the teams he has played for but his over sized contracts got him trade and his age (31) and lack of production (for him) may get him traded again. Gasol is averaging 16 points and 10 REBS but that is down from last seasons 19/11 stat line. Gasol also has a big contract like team mate Kobe Bryant, who makes 20 million a year. I expect Gasol to be traded to the highest bidder, A.K.A the Rockets.
Mean while Chris Kaman is a injury prone big who can play, 2010 all star, but hasn't even reached 13 PPG in any season since (12.8 and 12.3). Kaman was first traded from LAC in there famed "CP3 trade" then the hornets fell out of contention and he is up for trade again.
Meanwhile the Lakers ,who are shipping Gasol, the celtics and Magic are all interested in Michael Beasly. Beasly, the second overall pick in 2008, was once considered a pick and choose with Derrick Rose, has enjoyed just one good year and has struggled with Marjuena and injuries most of his career. He has elite potential and showed it in 2011 as he averaged 19.2 points but hasnt even passed 6.5 REBS or 15 points in any other season. I think that he wont get traded but if he does than i hope it is to boston.
Meanwhile another 2008 draft class player named Ramon Sessions is up for trade. after a okay rookie season he broke out in 2009 and as a result the Timber wolves signed him. He played one season in minnesota and was traded to cleveland in exchange for Sebastin Telfair and Delonte West. Now the crumpling cavs look to trade him.
Kirk Hinrich is a former D-Rose mentor who was traded to make cap room for Carlos Booser. Hinrich was off to a bad season as john wall's mentor but they traded him for mo evans and he became a hawk. He started at point but suffered a bad injury to his shoulder in the playoffs. He then missed the bulls series. Now the Hawks are putting him up for trade.
