The NBA trade deadline is tomorrow at 3 PM EST. As you might imagine, things are already heating up on the rumor mill, and potential trades are flying around left and right. Undoubtedly the biggest rumor we have seen out there today though comes from ESPN and involves the Houston Rocket’s pursuit of Rajon Rondo. According to the report, the Rockets are pushing hard to acquire the young PG and are willing to send the Celtics a fair amount in return. The only issue? Apparently the Celtics are intent on getting Rockets sharpshooter Chandler Parsons back in the deal, and the Rockets aren’t budging.
Because of that issue, trade talks between the two teams aren’t close. If you know anything about the NBA trade deadline though, you know that things can spark between squads in mere minutes and a deal could break. We will of course continue to update with more details on this deal, or any other major moves that go down before the deadline tomorrow.
