NBA Trade Rumors: Next 5 stars who could demand a move out of their current franchise

#3 Bradley Beal

Bradley Beal

The Washington Wizards have bought some time by trading for Russell Westbrook but don't expect Bradley Beal to stay put if this move doesn't lead to improved results. Beal has made it clear that he wants to win and if the Wizards don't do the same too often, he'll be forced to ask for a trade.

Beal averaged 30.5 points and 6.1 assists per game last season and still didn't manage to land an All-NBA selection. The Wizards' quality as a whole was the major reason behind this. He wouldn't want such a situation to repeat itself.

#2 Zach LaVine

Zach LaVine

The Chicago Bulls were expected to push for the playoffs last season but despite Zach LaVine's 25.5 points per game, the franchise struggled to compete. The lack of support for LaVine from his teammates was glaring and eventually resulted in the firing of then-head coach Jim Boylen.

The Bulls will once again be hoping to contest for a postseason berth but if they start slowly, LaVine could ask for a move. He only has two years left on his contract so Chicago will be forced to act quickly if such a situation transpires.

#1 Kevin Love

It's rather surprising that Kevin Love is still on the Cleveland Cavaliers to start the 2020-21 season. Love's a perennial 20-10 threat each night with championship pedigree. His contract also doesn't fall in line with the Cavs' rebuilding process.

Love is certainly not the future of the organization and isn't the go-to guy at present either. In fact, he's shown his frustration at some of the decisions taken by the young guns on the team in the past. If a contending franchise comes calling, Love would probably be interested in a trade.
