The news of Ricky Rubio's season-ending injury threatens to alter the landscape of the trade market. While Rubio is not a trade candidate, the Wolves have figured prominently in trade discussions of late, so a change in Minnesota's plans could be a change for several other teams as well. A number of recent injuries threaten to have an impact on the trade market as well. Luke Adams of Hoops Rumors took a look at some of those injuries Monday. Brook Lopez, a key figure in rumored Dwight Howard trades, went down March 4 with a sprained ankle that will keep him out three weeks. Jermaine O'Neal, once thought to be part of a deal with the Wolves for Michael Beasley and someone who could be a part of a Celtics blockbuster, is considering season-ending surgery on his wrist. Richard Hamilton suffered a right shoulder sprain Monday and is out indefinitely, a source of frustration for a Bulls team with championship aspirations that's weak at the wings.
So, which player's injury do you think will have the greatest impact on trades? Let us know what you think.
I pretty sure the cavs used there own first round pick on Irving and the 4th pick overall was the one that they acquired from the clippers
