Superstar guard James Harden reportedly expressed interest in returning to the Houston Rockets before the Los Angeles Clippers traded him to the Cleveland Cavaliers this week.

Rumors are swirling that multiple contending NBA teams are showing interest in Cam Thomas after the Brooklyn Nets released him.

Draymond Green and the Lakers reportedly have mutual interest if the Warriors decide to trade him in a Giannis package.

The Bulls are listening to phone calls regarding a Coby White trade. It sounds like the Houston Rockets have interest as Western Conference Contenders.

All of this lines up quite nicely, and according to Jake Fischer, the Cavaliers and Hornets have indeed held preliminary conversations about a Ball trade that would help Cleveland get below the second apron before Thursday's deadline.

With less than a week to go a lot of trade talk is out there, but the Giannis Antetokounmpo situation could hold up other deals.
