Trade rumor rankings: Damian Lillard, James Harden and more

HoopsHype ranks the five players who have appeared most often in trade rumors over the past week, led by Damian Lillard and James Harden.

The NBA trade market has been even spicier than we expected this summer with two stars players potentially on the verge of being moved at the time of this writing.

Of course, all eyes remain on Portland Trail Blazers superstar Damian Lillard as it pertains to his trade request over the weekend with hopes of getting dealt to the reigning Eastern Conference champion, the Miami Heat.

Until that move is made (if it even is), however, the trade market could actually cool off for a bit, though another All-NBA-level guard is also reportedly on the block after negotiations on a new contract with his current team went poorly.

With so many big names to discuss, let’s jump right into the action.
