The biggest deal before this year's trade deadline is undoubtedly James Harden sent to the 76ers, and Ben Simmons was also sent to the Nets in this deal. There's no doubt that this is a move of obvious benefit to both the Nets and the 76ers.
But this will certainly not be the last time a superstar asks for a trade, according to Sports Illustrated reporter Howard Baker, there may be 3 more All-Star players in the near future:
"The team with the stars is doing everything that makes them happy, while the rest of the teams are plotting to poach them. At present, the league executives are ready (or conspiring) to pursue the next dissatisfied star, currently speculating that it is Zion Williamson of the Pelicans, Damian Lillard of the Blazers and Donovan Mitchell of the Jazz. ”
In the past period, there have been reports that the three players are more or less dissatisfied with their respective teams, which is why they are considered to be likely to make a trade request.
Damien Lillard is considered one of the most loyal teams in the league, but the Blazers really can't build a lineup for Lillard at his peak that will be able to storm the championship. As for the Jazz, they are already a very strong team, but the duo of Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert has not achieved the success that the team hopes to see, and even if the pair has a good performance in the regular season, they still cannot succeed in the playoffs.
Finally, there's the case of Zion Williamson, who is indeed a very talented player, but he's also a very injured player, especially if he doesn't care so much about his weight. But if Zion Williamson wants to leave the Pelicans, it is believed to attract the interest of many teams.
Of course, there is no possibility of a deal being pushed for by these players at the moment, but in the following offseason or in the coming season, these three will definitely be potential transfer players to watch.
