NBA trade rumors are heating up with the deadline just one week away. No big names have been moved yet, but the rumor mill has been flooded with tons of new intel as everyone around the league tries to improve either their short- or long-term outlook.

Speculation continues to swirl about a possible trade involving the Suns' Bradley Beal and the Heat's Jimmy Butler ahead of the NBA trade deadline.
