[center]Chicago looking to deal.[/center]
With the trade window approaching soon rumors are starting to
fly all around the NBA, from veteran NBA swingman Jamal Crawford
reportedly on the outs in L.A. to rookies all across the league.
One has just been rumored on the trade block, he comes from the
undefeated Bulls. We are talking about Doug McDermott. The
rookie sharpshooter from Creighton who set the record for the
most games scored in double figures at 135. He is 5th all time
in the NCAA in scoring with 3,150 passing none other than hall
of famer Larry Bird. The Bulls traded for Doug in the NBA draft
who traded both the 16th and 19th picks in the first round for
Doug and Anthony Randolph (who is now playing in Russia). Bulls
relationship with Doug soured quickly after trading for guard
Aaron Affalo allowing Jimmy Butler to move from the 2 to the 3
for defensive purposes. The Bulls are reportedly looking to move
Doug for a solid wing player.

Oladipo on the outs?

[center]The second overall pick on the move? [/center]
Victor Oladipo, the second overall pick last season is
reportedly on the outs in Orlando. The second year guard
averaged 13 points and 4 rebounds and assists a night last year.
This coming mere hours after the Bulls announced Doug McDermott
was on the chopping block. This begs the question, who is
willing to give Oladipo a shot, while he was solid year year
flashing glimpses of brilliance, posting a triple double, are
they willing to pay for a slightly undersized shooting guard.
Will he continue to expand his range, only shooting 32% from
three, or shooting free throws, respectable 78%. Rumors have
been swirling, that several teams have inquired about making a
possible trade. But only time will tell if Oladipo is even
moved. While the trade window is quickly approaching GM's across
the league are picking up their phones and starting to make
offers.

Rubio likely to be dealt.

The one word sums out Ricky Rubio's career in Minnesota While he
was finally healthy last year, the first time he played in 60 or
more games. He averaged career highs in just under 9 dimes a
game, and shooting 38% from the field, 33% from 3. The solid
guard was the 5th overall pick in the draft of guards in 2009.
He never flourished alongside Kevin Love and now the Love is
gone Rubio wants out as well. The 6'4 24 year old is still a
young player who can make an impact that could be felt around
the league. We will have to wait to see if Rubio is moved.
