Ford: Epic Trade Deadline Expected With Big Gap Between Contenders, Rebuilders
With many NBA teams significantly out of contention and looking ahead at rebuilding around the draft, the trade deadline could see a significant amount of activity.
"I think it's going to be an epic trade deadline," said Chad Ford. "I really do think there's a huge gulf right now between the teams that are trying to compete for a title, a few teams that have struggled this year but still want to make the playoffs, and all those teams willing to write this season off. I think there's a bigger division than in years past."
Pau Gasol remains a major trade candidate, while the Philadelphia 76ers, Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics could trade away some of their more talented assets.
