On October 11, there are still 11 days left before the start of the new NBA regular season. Earlier today, the well-known media NBC Sports named the 10 stars most likely to be traded in the new season, including Kuminga, Markkanen, Anfernee Simons and others.

NBC Sports pointed out that this list does not include possible mega-deals because the likelihood of them happening is too low. For example, Antetokounmpo may eventually be so disappointed that he requests to leave the team, but his salary of $54.1 million makes a mid-season trade almost impossible. The same goes for Zion, and it is difficult for the Pelicans to make such a big deal during the season. So similar operations may have to wait until the offseason.

The detailed list given by NBC Sports is as follows: Kuminga; Anfernee Simons; Markkanen; CJ McCollum; Vucevic; Vincent; Kuzma; Rozier; Nurkic; Oubre.

Kuminga just completed a contract extension with the Warriors not long ago, but the relationship between the two parties has broken down and is almost irreparable. Kuminga will be eligible for trade starting on January 15 next year. According to the analysis of many US media, the Warriors will inevitably send Kuminga away early next year.

The situation of Anfernee Simons is somewhat special. He was traded to the Celtics this summer. After coming to the Celtics, the Green Army has been looking to trade him, but unfortunately it failed in the end. Due to Tatum's serious injury, the Celtics will usher in a turbulent period in the new season, and it will be difficult for the team's lineup to remain stable. If trade reinforcements are sought again, Anfernee Simons is likely to be sent away.

It is no secret that Markkanen has been put on the shelf. The Jazz have been seeking to trade him in recent seasons, and Markkanen is indeed the target of many teams. As Markkanen performed very well in this year's European Cup, he has become the target of many teams.

Who among the above 10 stars do you think is most likely to be sent away? Welcome to give your opinions in the comment area.
