The Most Interesting Trades of the 2017 NBA Offseason

There have been many exciting trades during this year’s NBA offseason, some of which will definitely make an interesting 2017-2018 season and give the NBA a new look.

On June 28, Chris Paul was traded from the LA Clippers to the Houston Rockets for players Patrick Beverley, Sam Dekker, Montrezl Harrell, Lou Williams, Darrun Hillard, Deandre Liggins and Kyle Wiltjer. Now the Rockers have the Chris Paul-James Harden duo, which will give them the chance to be a top team and successful in the West. One of the biggest trades this summer was on August 22 when Kyrie Irving was traded to the Boston Celtics for the 2018 first-round pick, Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder and Ante Zizic.

This trade was so monumental because of the division of Irving and LeBron James after many successful years on the Cavaliers together. With the Celtics and Cavaliers scheduled to play each other for their season openers, it will be interesting to see the results.

The most recent trade on September 23 was Carmelo Anthony being traded from the New York Knicks to the Oklahoma Thunder for Enes Kanter, Doug McDermott and the 2018 draft second round pick. With Anthony, the Thunder also has Paul George and Russel Westbrook, a combination which will certainly make them a team to watch.
