The 2019 NBA off-season was one of the most eventful of all time as some of the biggest superstars like Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis and Kawhi Leonard moved to different teams and altered the landscape of the NBA in the process. While this off-season may not be as eventful, NBA trade rumors abound regarding some of the big-name players in the NBA.
On that note, here is a list of ten players who are likely to be on the move this off-season.
NBA Trade Rumors: Top 10 players most likely to be traded this off-season
For this list, we have not considered players who have been classified as free agents. We have only considered the ones who are under contracts and have NBA trade rumors surrounding them regarding their potential moves to different teams this off-season. Without further ado, let's get started.
#10 Aaron Gordon (Orlando Magic)
Aaron Gordon is a unique talent. Despite being an above-average player, the Orlando Magic have failed to integrate him successfully into their system.
The player has spent considerable time with the franchise, but the Magic's front office seems likely to try out other alternatives which makes it very plausible that Gordon could be on the move this off-season.
#9 Buddy Hield (Sacramento Kings)
Buddy Hield was considered one of the best shooters in the NBA just two seasons ago but has now slided down the pecking order in recent times.
He put up underwhelming performances while coming off the bench during the entirety of the 2019-20 NBA season. Due to the same, NBA trade rumors have linked the star with a plethora of teams.
With the Kings' front office having reportedly placed him on the table to be traded away, it wouldn't be surprising if Hield plays for another team in the NBA next season.
#8 Jrue Holiday (New Orleans Pelicans)
Jrue Holiday has been one of the best players for the New Orleans Pelicans in the NBA in recent times. His versatility at both ends, proficiency in leading the team and ability to hit clutch shots make him an incredibly impressive player, with a bevy of franchises reportedly interested in acquiring the 30-year-old's services.
With his current franchise also reportedly willing to trade him away, Holiday is likely to move away from the New Orleans this off-season.
#7 Nikola Vucevic (Orlando Magic)
Coming in at number seven in our list of the top 10 players likely to move this off-season is Nikola Vucevic.
Despite the 29-year-old being the Orlando Magic's franchise player, NBA trade rumors have seemed to suggest that the player is not happy with the Magic's team culture and wants to go to a franchise where he could win championships.
Franchises like the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets are reportedly interested in the player and could whisk away the star this off-season.
#6 Myles Turner (Indiana Pacers)
Despite Myles Turner being a brilliant player, having him on the floor alongside Domantas Sabonis has been detrimental for the Indiana Pacers.
Due to this reason, the franchise is looking to offload Turner, with a host of other NBA franchises reportedly waiting to pick him up. Thus, it is likely that the Pacers star could feature for a different NBA team next season.
#5 Rudy Gobert (Utah Jazz)
Rudy Gobert's recklessness during the COVID-19 pandemic had infamously gotten a few teammates as well as a few media personnel infected with the deadly virus. Despite the incident taking place months ago, the Jazz have apparently failed to recover from the ensuing emotional trauma.
According to NBA trade rumors, the 28-year-old is seemingly unable to fit in with the team anymore. Many NBA teams are now seemingly knocking on the franchise's door to acquire the services of Gobert and have come up with offers that could be tough for the Jazz to refuse.
Given the 'delicate' situation of the player and the 'tantalizing' nature of offers that have come in, it may only be a matter of time before Gobert packs up his bags and heads to a different NBA team this off-season.
#4 Paul George (LA Clippers)
Despite only being with the LA Clippers for a year, Paul George may find himself in the trading block this off-season.
The 30-year-old, who massively underperformed during the 2020 NBA Playoffs, will become a free agent as early as next year.
The player is seemingly unwilling to re-sign with the franchise due to a plethora of controversies that have emanated from the team's locker room. As a result, the Clippers could be looking to trade the star away a season early to get something in return for him.
#3 Bradley Beal (Washington Wizards)
Bradley Beal has blossomed into a bonafide NBA superstar in the absence of John Wall, but according to NBA trade rumors, he has also grown increasingly frustrated with the team culture at the Washington Wizards.
Despite the presence of the young talent, the team couldn't even get close to the 2020 NBA Playoffs. Insiders have said that Beal has reportedly grown sick of playing 'losing' basketball and is likely to force an NBA trade out of Washington this off-season.
#2 Chris Paul (OKC Thunder)
Chris Paul's season with the OKC Thunder was filled with nothing but positives and went a long way in rejuvenating the 35-year-old's career.
However, with several NBA Championship contenders reportedly looking to bring in the player and Paul still harboring aspirations of winning an NBA Championship, it is highly likely that we may not see him playing for the Thunder next season.
#1 Victor Oladipo (Indiana Pacers)
According to various NBA trade rumors, Victor Oladipo has been reportedly 'extremely' unhappy at the Indiana Pacers due to the prevalent team culture.
He is now trying to force a trade to a different team in the league,.with sources saying that he believes he can contribute to a Championship contender.
With franchises like the Golden State Warriors, Milwaukee Bucks and even the Brooklyn Nets reportedly lining up to acquire Oladipo, it is highly unlikely fans may see the player donning a Pacers jersey during the 2020-21 NBA season.
