The Hawks are expected to be big sellers at the NBA trade deadline in February, as they currently own the worst record in the league at 6-25. Any and all veterans must go, including Jabari Parker – who is averaging 15.4 points per game this season. Here is the latest NBA Trade Rumors Jabari Parker Celtics Lakers Nuggets chatter.

Atlanta general manager Travis Schlenk likely won’t see too big of a market for Parker, with most of the elite teams in the league strong in the front court, so the former Duke star could be had for a minimal collection of assets.
Parker also has a very shoppable contract at $6.5 million per year, and he comes off the books in 2021.
Adding Parker is certainly not a longterm investment, though some executives around the league still believe Parker could be an elite player. Remarkably, the former second overall draft pick is still just 24-years-old.
The Celtics are one intriguing destination for Parker, for several reasons. Brad Stevens has shown in the past that he can work magic with underachieving top picks (Evan Turner, Jeff Green), and Boston could certainly use Parker’s size (he’s 6-foot-8) to help in the battle against the Joel Embiid and Giannis Antetekounmpo’s of the world.
Parker is also averaging 6.7 rebounds per game this season.
Other teams that will likely be exploring a trade for NBA Trade Rumors Jabari Parker Celtics Lakers Nuggets in the next month or so are the Lakers and Nuggets, both of which could use an uptick in the scoring department. The Lakers are just 11th in points per game scoring this season, which Denver is an ugly 22nd. Parker would give both of these Western Conference contenders another scoring option on the offensive end, and again – you wouldn’t have to give up the farm to land him.
