Working alongside TradeNBA.com, I've created the NBA Trade Deadline Challenge in which I will use a scale of 0-5 to rank how likely some of the top trade candidates are to be dealt prior to this year's trade deadline. In today's episode, I've conducted my own rankings on each of the names on the list so please enjoy the episode and I'll welcome any feedback you may have.
