The latest NBA trade rumors hinted that the Sacramento Kings and the Philadelphia 76ers might enter a deal with their center players DeMarcus Cousins and Nerlens Noel before the start of the new season.

Sports Rageous reported that both the Kings and the 76ers want to reshuffle their roster as each of the teams lost some major players this offseason. Reports claimed that the teams are keen on trading Cousins and Noel in order to improve their frontcourt arena.

To start with, the reason why the Kings are looking forward to trading the 26-year-old player this year is that he will be hitting the NBA free agency in 2018 and then they will not be able to get the best possible deal in his exchange, stated CBS Sports. Also, rumors about Cousins trade surfaced due to his issues with the team's management

There are reports that Noel will prove as the perfect fit for the Kings in place of Cousins as he has excellent defensive frontcourt skills, which will help the team's other key players on the roster like Darren Collison and Ben McLemore.

On the other hand, the 76ers are also in search of the best possible player option in place of Noel in order to provide tough competition to other teams in the Eastern NBA league like the New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls, and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Moreover, the 76ers are reportedly in need of a talented power forward and Cousins is said to be their current best option. To add on to the trade rumors, Fansided stated that even Noel hinted to get traded this season and admitted his desire to play for the Boston Celtics.

Meanwhile, few reports stated that the Cousins and Noel deal might happen in the next NBA season as neither of the two teams has confirmed anything about the trade. Keep posted here for more NBA trade rumors.
