Trade rumor rankings: John Collins, Jae Crowder and more

HoopsHype ranks the five players who have appeared most often in trade rumors over the past week, including Jae Crowder.

It’s time for another edition of our trade rumors rankings series where we rank the five players who have appeared most often in trade rumors over the past week, as judged by appearances on our trade rumors page.

The name at the top of this list will surprise no one, as it is a player who has been a source of trade scuttle dating back to the offseason and yet to play in the 2022-23 campaign.

However, there are some other surprises on this list, so be sure to scroll down and check out the latest installment of our trade rumor rankings.

Rookie of the Year Race: LaMelo Ball, Tyrese Haliburton lead the way

It wasn’t long ago when the consensus public opinion was that the 2020 NBA Draft lacked any real star power.

Executives around the league were reportedly concerned about LaMelo Ball, specifically. Some had questions about whether or not he had a broken jump shot. Others were worried that he was tanking interviews during the pre-draft process.

Flash forward, however, and Ball is arguably enjoying one of the best first seasons in NBA history thus far and is the bonafide leader of our Rookie of the Year rankings. That just goes to show you how much the perception of a player can change in a short amount of time.

Like our weekly MVP rankings, every member of our team voted on their personal Top 10 rankings for Rookie of the Year. We averaged out the results to get a cumulative ranking from the HoopsHype staff.

All relevant statistics are accurate as of March 2, 2021 and are pulled from Basketball-Reference, RealGM or NBA.com unless noted otherwise.
