9 Centers Available On Trade Market; 8 Teams With Interest
Although centres are normally not the most coveted asset these days in the NBA, there are no less than eight teams in the market for one at this year's trade deadline. And according to Jake Fischer Of Yahoo Sports, there are 10 centers who could be available.
The list is as follows:
Jakob Poeltl
Jusuf Nurkic
Serge Ibaka
Andre Drummond
Richaun Holmes
Mo Bamba
Jaxson Hayes
Nerlens Noel
But Fischer says that "the name to keep an eye on most may be (Minnesota) Timberwolves center Naz Reid, who has declined varied contract extension offers from Minnesota, sources told Yahoo Sports, and is said to be seeking salary in the ballpark of $10 million next season."
Reid is having a strong season for the T-Wolves, as they've had to lean on their backup big plenty, with Karl-Anthony Towns missing a huge chunk of the season thus far. Reid is averaging 10.4 points and 5.9 rebounds in 18 minutes per game.
The eight teams that are in the mix for these big men?
Philadelphia 76ers
Los Angeles Clippers
Portland Trail Blazers
Denver Nuggets
Brooklyn Nets
Boston Celtics
Toronto Raptors
Sacramento Kings
