Working their way up to eventually displace the Boston Celtics as the kings of the Eastern Conference, LeBron James, Kevin Love, and Tristan Thompson are avenging their poor season starting games. Amidst these efforts, it appears that Dwyane Wade's Cavs role is seen as a crucial part of the team's success.

NBA trade rumors linking Charlotte Hornets star Dwight Howard to struggling teams in need of a big man backup like the Los Angeles Clippers, Cleveland Cavaliers, Brooklyn Nets, and Toronto Raptors have once again made their way to the headlines.

The San Francisco 49ers find themselves at the bottom of the NFC West, way behind the Seattle Seahawks, Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams. Despite the entry of former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly in the Carlos Hyde squad, it appears that the NFL team needs additional revamp. With a Colin Kaepernick trade reported to be on its way, a Tony Romo contract could be coming soon. Meanwhile, the Blaine Gabbert career stats appear to be disappointing the team’s fans.

The Golden State Warriors are still recovering from a devastating loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers which saw the Stephen Curry team once again fall short despite earning a substantial lead earlier in the game. With LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love rallying to get a hard-earned home court victory over Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson, the Dub nation fans realized an important change for next season. Many believe that a Draymond Green trade would be the best option for the Golden State Warriors.

The Toronto Raptors are creeping on the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference as Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan work back to back to match the efforts of LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. However, the Drake supported team is known to still need more star power to actually beat the Iman Shumpert group. In an effort to improve their chances in the impending division finals, reports are pointing to a DeMarcus Cousins trade to the Toronto Raptors.

The Los Angeles Lakers are the Cinderella team in the NBA this season as they attempt to transform into a playoffs team following the Kobe Bryant retirement year. With former Golden State Warriors coach Luke Walton guiding D'Angelo Russell and Jordan Clarkson as well as ex-Miami Heat star Luol Deng carrying the team, the Larry Nance Jr. squad appears to be rallying towards a better season. However, it looks like more star power especially in the locker room is in order. Will a minimum Chris Bosh contract solve this problem?

The Sacramento Kings once again find themselves at the bottom of the Western Conference as they lag behind the Portland Trail Blazers of Damian Lillard, Utah Jazz of George Hill and Memphis Grizzlies of Marc Gasol. Despite the remarkable performance of DeMarcus Cousins in the hardwood court, the Rudy Gay team appears to still struggle to rise in the rankings. With the recent issues surrounding the explosive center, the fans are now asking for an NBA trade to finally move on from the DeMarcus Cousins era.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are on their way to becoming the Eastern Conference champions third year in a row. With LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love leading the Iman Shumpert squad, fans are confident that the team would be defending their NBA title in the Finals soon. However, a widespread fear has been plaguing the Tristan Thompson team as the JR Smith injury updates fail to bring in any good news - one that may lead to an NBA trade mid-season.

The Chicago Bulls are watching in horror as their losing streak keeps getting extended this season despite the assurances from Dwyane Wade, Rajon Rondo and Jimmy Butler. The team is falling in the Eastern Conference and getting buried behind LeBron James' Cleveland Cavaliers, the Toronto Raptors of DeMar DeRozan, Isaiah Thomas' Boston Celtics and even the once struggling New York Knicks of Carmelo Anthony. Although the entry of the former Miami Heat star and Sacramento Kings veteran boosted the performance of the Nikola Mirotic team, a number of fans still believe that the group lacks star power. Hence, a potential Klay Thompson trade could be in the works.

The Carolina Panthers have failed to live up to the hype from the previous season when they rivaled the New England Patriots of Tom Brady with their almost spotless record and almost beat the Denver Broncos under Peyton Manning and Brock Osweiler. With their lackluster performance this NFL season, wherein they are seen lagging behind the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Cam Newton team may have lost their chance at proving their critics wrong and bringing home the Super Bowl. However, many believe that a Colin Kaepernick contract with the Carolina Panthers would definitely boost their chances.

The Seattle Seahawks are on top of their game this season despite the hole left by Marshawn Lynch last season. Under the leadership of Russell Wilson, the Kam Chancellor squad has been thriving and is the top seed in the NFC West. However, the Richard Sherman team has yet to beat the Dallas Cowboys, Atlanta Falcons and Detroit Lions to once again get a shot at the Super Bowl. With this in mind, the front office is anticipated to sign a Geno Smith trade to ensure that the team does not lose its momentum.

The Green Bay Packers are quietly becoming a Super Bowl favorite especially after the remarkable performance of Aaron Rodgers in the Chicago Bears blowout win. However, the games are taking a toll on the quarterback and the front office is expected to bring in a reliable and younger star to help him out. Among the potential football stars to sign, the Eddie Lacy team appears to be most interested in a Robert Griffin III trade soon.

The Denver Broncos are trailing behind the Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West, with the Von Miller team failing to match the performances of the New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys for a potential back-to-back Super Bowl run this year. Without Peyton Manning and Brock Osweiler leading the team, they are left with rookie Paxton Lynch and former third-stringer Trevor Siemian. However, things are expected to change soon as a Michael Vick contract could be on its way.

The Dallas Cowboys are thriving under the leadership of Dak Prescott this NFL season. With the Tony Romo era reaching its end in the Dez Bryant squad, Jerry Jones is expected to seek a good trade for the veteran quarterback. Once this goes through, reports point to a Johnny Manziel contract to the Ezekiel Elliot team by the offseason.

The Houston Rockets are getting back their groove following the Dwight Howard drama that allegedly threw off the game of James Harden in the past season. With The Beard now focused on winning and is once again in the running for MVP this year, fans of the Ryan Anderson squad are eager to see how the team will sustain this momentum. Given the status of the team and its budget, talks point to a Nerlens Noel trade soon.

The San Antonio Spurs are once again reclaiming their rightful spot as serious contenders for the NBA title courtesy of LaMarcus Aldridge and Kawhi Leonard stats. However, the Pau Gasol team appears to still lack something to make them an unquestionable group to beat the Golden State Warriors as the Western Conference champions. With this in mind, a Jeremy Lin trade has been put on the table in an effort to build a stronger and more mature Big 3 in the Danny Green squad.

The Miami Heat are still struggling to bounce back following the Dwyane Wade exit to the Chicago Bulls and the potential early retirement of Chris Bosh - both of which shook the team after LeBron James packed his bags to team up with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love in the Cleveland Cavaliers. Despite the growth of Hassan Whiteside and Goran Dragic as leaders, the Justise Winslow squad still needs stronger players to fill the void. With this necessity in mind, a John Wall contract is anticipated to be released soon.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are proving their mettle amid the Kevin Durant contract drama that pushed him to the Golden State Warriors during the offseason. With the Russell Westbrook stats looking better than ever this season, a number of potential NBA trade deals seem to be in the works. Among these possibilities is a Damian Lillard trade - one that could make the Portland Trail Blazers star the much-needed partner for the struggling OKC leader.

The Chicago Bulls slid from the Eastern Conference rankings following the problematic performances from NBA All-Star players Jimmy Butler, Dwyane Wade and Rajon Rondo. Despite the inconsistency and disconnect threatening to take over the group, which was pretty much the same fear they shared during the Derrick Rose era, the Taj Gibson squad seems to be rallying to make sure that their NBA title shot does not slip away again this year. With this in mind, a Blake Griffin trade negotiation could be in the works.

The Dallas Cowboys are strikingly different from the team they were last NFL season when Tony Romo had been lead quarterback. With the surprising performance of Dak Prescott, the Ezekiel Elliot team is now the top contender in the NFC East. However, many believe that the Dez Bryant group still does not have what it takes to be Super Bowl champions.

The Seattle Seahawks are off to an amazing season under the leadership of Russell Wilson. While fans initially worried over the NFL team ever since the Marshawn Lynch retirement announcement, it looks like the Kam Chancellor squad is ready to make another Super Bowl run. As the NFL playoffs heat up, the Jimmy Graham team eyes the championship. However, another thing seems to be taking the attention of the front office - the future.

The Green Bay Packers seem to be losing steam this NFL season in light of their third place ranking in the NFC North. Trailing behind the Detroit Lions and the Minnesota Vikings, a number of reasons could be noted as the causes of their failure to rise this time. Among these possibilities is the fact that Aaron Rodgers appears to be overworked. While the veteran quarterback has yet to complain about his workload, it is no secret that the Eddie Lacy team needs to find a good backup for him soon.

The Los Angeles Lakers are shaping up to become the underdogs in the NBA playoffs this season. With D'Angelo Russell and Nick Young finally finding ways to work together, the former Kobe Bryant squad has turned into one of the most exciting teams in the league. However, it is widely known that the Jordan Clarkson team is in dire need of one more thing to push them higher - a veteran star capable of leading the group of young players.

The San Antonio Spurs are looking to regain their top spot in the Western Conference, hoping to beat the Golden State Warriors of Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant as well as the Los Angeles Clippers of DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin this season. Amid the success of Kawhi Leonard, LaMarcus Aldridge and Danny Green in leading the team, it looks like additional reinforcements are needed to push them forward. With this in mind, reports point to a Joakim Noah trade to the Pau Gasol team.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are looking at a future that may not have JR Smith in the roster to help in time for massive games against the likes of the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers and San Antonio Spurs. Despite the improved plays from LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, the absence of the former New York Knicks star still poses risks for the team. With this in mind, a Rudy Gay trade is anticipated to be executed soon.
