NBA trade rumors: Latest news, buzz as deadline nears

All-Star Weekend has come and gone, but one blockbuster trade made over the weekend will have lasting implications for the NBA landscape.

While the biggest deal so far involves the Kings trading DeMarcus Cousins to the Pelicans for a package including Buddy Hield, Tyreke Evans, a top-three protected 2017 first-round pick and Philadelphia's 2017 second-round pick, many teams are looking to make moves to improve playoff positioning or dump salaries.

In other NBA news that could have an effect on the trade market, the Lakers named Magic Johnson the team's President of Basketball Operations.
