2008 Rumored Trading Block
After the Lakers mega deal in 2008, which landed them Pau Gasol and propelled the team into the NBA Finals, several teams are looking to trade early in an effort to combat the parity in the NBA and put them in the upper echelon of the league. Several big names have been mentioned by several sources to be on the move at the start of the 2008-2009 season. Reasons vary from everything to chemistry, expiring contracts and re-building for the future. Players who may be potentially moved include Vince Carter, Lamar Odom, Shawn Marion and Carlos Boozer.ESPN.com: Trade Talk hot and heavy
