Since entering the 2024 offseason, there have been a lot of trade rumors in the NBA, and many teams have made a lot of great trades if they can succeed in the new season in the future. They usually trade teams to acquire some great stars to strengthen the team's competitiveness.
There are often some outstanding stars who are hung on the trading table by the fan media. While some trades will succeed, others may fail. To this end, the American media "Fadeaway World" listed the five players who are most rumored to be traded in the 2024 offseason, but will not be traded.
1. Trae Young
As the leader of the Atlanta Hawks, Trae Young averaged 25.7 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 10.8 assists per game in the 2023-24 season. His passing and perimeter shooting are what many teams want, but his size is so poor that many teams reject him for this reason, avoiding finding a defensive colander for themselves.
2. Markkanen
Markkanen averaged 23.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game in the 2023-24 season, which has also attracted the pursuit of many teams. However, only the Golden State Warriors have made a substantial trade offer so far, but the Jazz are asking for too much compensation, which has led to the two sides not being able to make a deal.
3. Ingram
In the 2023-24 season, Ingram averaged 20.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game. It's a bit difficult for Ingram to renew his contract, and his next contract will average at least $50 million a year, with no team willing to give him that big contract. Although many teams are interested in him, it is not easy to win him.
4. Garland
In the 2023-24 season, Garland averaged 18.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game. Donovan Mitchell has signed a three-year, $150 million contract extension, and Evan Mobley has signed a contract extension of at least $200 million. Garland became the most likely player to be traded by the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Lakers became one of the favorites to go next.
5. Kuzma
In the 2023-24 season, Kuzma averaged 22.6 points, 6.1 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game. In a rebuilding team, it is not too surprising to play such statistics. Kuzma has reportedly turned down trade requests from a number of teams and wants to go to the metropolitan team. For example, to return to the Los Angeles Lakers, Kuzma has repeatedly expressed his desire to return to the Los Angeles Lakers, but the Lakers have been indifferent.
