As the new season continues, less than a month before the trade deadline, the league's teams have significantly accelerated the pace of reinforcements.
In the past night, 5 more transaction-related dynamics have been exposed, including the Rockets Gordon asking for a first-round pick, and the league believes that Harden wants to leave the team.
Trade Myth One: The Rockets ask for a first-round pick from Gordon
According to NBA reporter Michael Scotto, the Rockets are actively peddling Gordon, and the current asking price is a first-round pick.
Due to Gordon's excellent health this season and the need for some veterans during the team's rebuilding, the Rockets are not in a hurry to trade Gordon and will not reduce the asking price, and several teams, including the Suns, are interested in getting Gordon.
Gordon has averaged 14.9 points, 1.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game this season, shooting 45.5 percent from three-point range.
Trade myth two: Spurs put Forbes on the shelves
According to NBA reporter Michael Scotto, the Spurs have put Forbes on the shelves, and teams including the Nuggets are interested in getting the guard.
Forbes only returned to the Spurs in the offseason, with a $4.5 million contract that will expire at the end of the season, and the Spurs want to trade him out of hopes of giving Primo more playing time.
Forbes has played in 40 games for the Spurs this season, averaging 9.1 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1 assist per game, shooting 41.7 percent from three-point range.
Deal Myth Three: League executives believe Harden is willing to change teams
According to Marc Stein, after rejecting the Nets' contract extension in the offseason, more and more executives in the league believed Harden was willing to change teams.
Included is the 76ers management, who have been coveting Harden in hopes of completing the swap between Ben Simmons and Harden, especially the recent 12-11 wins at Philadelphia, giving the team embiid the confidence that he can also win.
So it's likely that Philadelphia won't send Ben Simmons before the trade deadline, but will try to trade Harden in the offseason, though the process can be complicated.
Trade Myth Four: The Pacers ask for two first-round picks for Turner
According to previous reports, the Pacers have put Turner on the shelves, and according to the famous Shams, the Lone Rangers, Knicks, Hornets, Lakers and other teams are interested in Turner.
Hoopshype reporter Michel Scotto recently pointed out that the Pacers' asking price for Turner is two first-round picks, or a first-round pick + a young player.
So far this season, Turner has played in 42 games for the Pacers, averaging 12.9 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per game, shooting 50.8 percent from the field, including 2.8 blocks per game and ranking first in the league.
Deal Myth Five: Brunson seeks a four-year, $80 million contract
According to Bleacher Report reporter Eric Pincus, some executives in the league believe that Lone Ranger guard Brunson wants a four-year, $80 million contract extension.
His contract will expire at the end of the season after reports that the Lone Rangers are peddling him and multiple teams are interested in getting him.
So far this season, Brunson has performed well due to Doncic's injury, averaging 16 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 0.9 steals per game.
