NBA Today: 3 Players most likely to be traded ahead of the 2019-20 season

#2 Andre Roberson

Andre Roberson's defensive skillset could help a contending team

Following a third straight first-round playoff exit, the Oklahoma City Thunder made the tough decision to trade their All-Star duo of Paul George and Rusell Westbrook. The departures of George and Westbrook immediately put the Thunder into rebuild mode, and the team has also sent Jerami Grant to Denver.

More departures are expected, and the likes of Steven Adams and Chris Paul have been linked with imminent trades. However, CP3 and Adams are both signed to expensive multi-year deals, and Andre Roberson could be the next star to exit.

Roberson has not played for more than 18 months, although the 27-year-old is available on a team-friendly expiring $10 million deal. On the court, Roberson is also among the best lockdown defenders in the NBA and could play a pivotal role for a contending team. The guard has regained full fitness over the offseason - and a single draft pick is likely to be enough to secure his signing.
