Cohen 8-Ball: When Could _____________ Get Traded?

Cohen’s Analysis: LeBron James set the tendency in 2010 when he decided to leave Cleveland and join Miami. The Cavaliers watched their superstar walk without getting anything in return. Now, teams are paranoid about the same ill-fated circumstance happening to them. While players, like Dwight Howard and Chris Paul, who both did not agree to extensions immediately upon getting traded, still explore free agency, it’s a position most franchises don’t want to fret. Recent trades have proven that it’s more beneficial to net gains than take a risk that their superstar will stay put. Orlando is very happy with what it got in return for Howard. CLICK NEXT to learn about other superstars who could theoretically get traded at some point under certain circumstances.
