It seems that NBA trade rumors are still swirling around some players even after the start of the new season. Many teams have finished their trades before the 2017-18 season, but some teams might still consider striking a deal if it comes their way.

While some are satisfied with their trades the others might want to make a few changes. It will not be long before teams figure out that their trades were not as expected.

That said, the recent rumor is that a list on stars could be on the trading block, according to The Metro.

Pelicans to trade Davis and Cousins?

The New Orleans Pelicans have two key players on their team, DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis. The chances are that the Pelicans will try to retain these two stars. However, if things do not go well they might consider other options. New Orleans have an upper hand with Davis and Cousins being on their team. On the flip side, giving away DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis will clear some of their cap space.

At the end of the day, it all depends on the Pelicans performance as a whole.

If the Pelicans plan on trading both players together they would land a good deal and some future draft picks. On the other hand, there is no doubt that many teams would want to try to acquire the Pelicans stars.

Jahlil Okafor, Marc Gasol, DeAndre Jordan involved in trade rumors

Given the present situation, things do not seem to be going well with the Philadelphia 76ers and Jahlil Okafor. Being the previous overall pick at third place, Okafor is still stuck as the odd man out with the Sixers. Considering other players like Joel Embiid on the team, his progress with Philadelphia is still a big question.

The Metro reports that the Los Angeles Clippers might keep DeAndre Jordan on the trading block for a few reasons.

Jordan could get a max contract in the future and injury-woes could become a factor. In that case, the Clippers will surely have a plan for their center player.

Marc Gasol has been mentioned in trade rumors for a long time along with Gordan Hayward. The Spanish basketball player has settled with the Memphis Grizzlies, but there might be chances for him to be on his way. As for the Boston Celtics, they have enough assets because Danny Ainge has played his ball very well. However, the rumors are that Boston might try to pull Marc Gasol in exchange for Gordon Hayward.

These are just rumors swirling around five players, but nothing is for sure when it comes to NBA trades since they always come with surprise.
