NBA Trade Value 2017-2018
35. Kevin Love
A real life Chris Rock from Everybody Hates Chris, Love cannot catch a break. From constantly being involved in trade rumors to being ignored by LeBron, Love is always the odd man out. Love is still an excellent rebounder, can shoot the three and is one of the best offensive players in the league. It took two years for Cleveland to figure out how to use him. Put Love on the Heat and he’d be a constant 25-12 machine next to Hassan Whiteside
34. Hassan Whiteside
The Miami center has proven to many that he wouldn’t have a slump after signing a max deal in the 2016 offseason. Whiteside led the league in rebounds and improved his numbers across the board. He anchors Miami’s defense and is a huge reason for their success. The only concerns are that Whiteside is 28 and isn’t a guy you can win a title with as your best player. Still, he’s a great center and should be an all star next season.
33. Bradley Beal

Last season he was surprisingly healthy and helped lead the Wizards to a near conference finals appearance. He’s going to get hurt this season and he makes too much money, but I do enjoy watching the guy play. Deep down he’s my man, but still, he needs to stop getting hurt and complaining about John Wall. You know what Dion Waiters would do to replace Dragic with Wall, probably stop shooting. (Thinks about it). Nah Waiters wouldn’t.
32. Andrew Wiggins
Wiggins is the NBA’s equivalent of that kid who coasts by in high school, but gets a near perfect score on the SATS and makes teachers wonder what this kids potential really is. Wiggins has everything you want in the star. He’s athletic, can defend, can score, he can do it all. But after 3 years, Wiggins still hasn’t taken the league by storm. He barely gets assists. His shooting numbers are nothing impressive. And he’s about to become the third option on his team. Did you know Wiggins averaged 23 points per game last season? Me neither. Mainly this is because he puts up empty numbers. Minnesota will likely max him instead of trading him because Thibs can’t admit that he made a mistake with him, he’s too stubborn. So, enjoy wasting your prime as a third option in Minnesota and having us wonder what you could become on a team like Miami or even the Knicks.
31. Isaiah Thomas
He’s 5 foot 9, can’t play defense, is nearing 30 and due for a max next offseason. Why is Thomas 31 then you might be asking yourself? The reason is Thomas has captivated Boston. His scoring has made him reach Pierce like levels of love. He made Boston trade down and not take Markelle Fultz, even though Fultz has a higher ceiling. He is a key part of this positionless team and Boston would never trade him unless they knew they were getting a better player, he means so much to this city that no one outside of Boston could understand. (Besides me of course)
