Their log-jam at the front court is simply hard to device. No coach can keep three good, young\u00a0centers on one team and make them all happy, regardless of what system is being\u00a0ran.<\/p>\n<p>Joel Embiid is showing\u00a0superstar-type of potential, so it&#8217;s either Nerlens Noel or Okafor, and the team&#8217;s front office has indicated that it&#8217;s the latter. Okafor, as you may remember, was about to be sent\u00a0to Portland\u00a0weeks back, but it got cancelled on the 11th hour, as the Blazers\u00a0went on a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nba.com\/article\/2017\/02\/13\/jusef-nurkic-mason-plumlee-trade\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">different direction<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Brandon Knight<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Due to being a bit similar to Eric Bledsoe&#8217;s style of play and Devin Booker emerging game after game, Knight\u00a0has been relegated to the Suns bench. &#8220;Sixth man&#8221; doesn&#8217;t even seem to cut it because he&#8217;s only getting 21.1 minutes of action every night, and he also has 24 games this season where he\u00a0received lesser playing time than his average.<\/p>\n<p>Knight is only 25 and coming off a year where he put up\u00a019.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 5.1 assists, so Phoenix is sure to have a list of suitors, and at least\u00a0one of them might make them bite.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ben McLemore<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>With the Kings\u00a0fresh off sending their best player for a plate of peanuts and a slushie, you know teams from around the league are salivating to offer them trades. McLemore should be one of the most\u00a0targeted on the roster, since he&#8217;s young (24) and could\u00a0operate inside and out.<\/p>\n<p>Buddy Hield&#8217;s arrival, who&#8217;s quite similar to McLemore in terms of build, position, shooting ability, etc., is also a big reason why the swingman is being shopped heavily.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Greg Monroe<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Monroe is far from a scrub. It&#8217;s even arguable that he&#8217;s one of the top passing big men in the league. For some reason, though, he doesn&#8217;t fit well with the Bucks&#8217; plan, and them diminishing his minutes and pulling a trade that acquired bigs Spencer Hawes and Roy Hibbert says it all.<\/p>\n<p>Centers, especially ones who have the skill that Monroe has, are a commodity in today&#8217;s game, so Milwaukee should be able to\u00a0get a nice deal on or before the deadline.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Cameron Payne<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Thunder are in dire need of another offense-minded guy. They are second-worst in the NBA in three-point shooting (32.1 percent) and they have to have a third man\u00a0that can create offense for himself\u00a0(after Russell Westbrook and Victor Oladipo).<\/p>\n<p>Payne looks to be the first in line to be offered, since he&#8217;s a speedy, shifty guard that can bring great energy on the floor. He was also close to being traded for at least a couple of times in the past year, including one that could&#8217;ve allowed\u00a0Oklahoma City to land Rudy Gay.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Patrick Patterson<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A stretch four is\u00a0a need in most teams, but for the Raptors, who are quite hungry\u00a0to be the premiere team in the East, it&#8217;s not a type of player that they want now. Raps GM Masai Ujiri shooting hard in acquiring\u00a0Serge Ibaka indicated that a lot. He knows that the power forward they need has to have <em>power <\/em>down low.<\/p>\n<p>With Patterson currently nursing a knee injury, and Toronto now\u00a0having Ibaka, Jonas Valanciunas, Lucas Noguiera, Pascal Siakam, and Jakob Poetl as bruisers in the shaded lane, PP is probably a goner.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Lou Williams<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Williams has been big for the Lakers this season (18.6 PPG in just 24.6 MPG), and\u00a0L.A.&#8217;s front office should be super active in selling him\u00a0high. &#8220;Sweet Lou&#8221;\u00a0will bring scoring and instant offense to any team, and he could be extra attractive to various\u00a0clubs when packaged with another decent player and\/or a draft pick (lottery protected, of course).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Mario Hezonja<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Hezonja is the best (tradable) asset of the Magic. He&#8217;s young, athletic, and has a good stroke from the outside, but he\u00a0unfortunately can&#8217;t find his place in coach Frank Vogel&#8217;s defense-focused schemes. The addition of Terrence Ross, whom he shares a similar skill set with, further jeopardized his chance at landing a regular spot in the rotation.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/6\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a> and create a winning NBA parlay.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4zX172zxPL8HmNd7ZgqdRLk\/20\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-89017 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/NBA-News-Banner_620x110_v31.gif\" alt=\"NBA-News-Banner_620x110_v3\" width=\"620\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"132968\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;2,022&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;2&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you recovered from your shock in the DeMarcus Cousins trade?
