NBA trade deadline is 15 days away, so we're right in the thick of when all the rumors around the league will start to pick up. Jimmy Butler is the most talked about trade piece right now, with the Phoenix Suns being eyed as the frontrunner to land him if a trade were to transpire.

Carmelo Anthony pitched a massive trade for Jimmy Butler to the Lakers to form a big three with LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

Beleaguered by the inconsistent run in the season, LA Lakers are afloat at 6th position on the Western Conference table, but the situation does not seem to get better.
