The NBA trade deadline is right around the corner, and it means the fans should expect some movement around the league.
While most fans love to see blockbuster trades between organizations, plenty of “non-significant” trades also take place every year.
This year’s trade deadline falls on Thursday, February 8.
Speaking of the much-anticipated day, many reports have started to flood in about potential trades being made.
Among them is Tony Jones’ report about Kelly Olynyk potentially getting traded away from the Utah Jazz, as revealed via Evan Sidery on Twitter.
“Kelly Olynyk is likely to be traded from the Jazz before the deadline passes,” the report said.

The report didn’t mention any one team that is pursuing the Jazz veteran.
Instead, the report mentions that multiple playoff-contending teams are in search of the services of Olynyk.
Keeping that in mind, it’s proof of the talent that he possesses despite being 32 years old.
To put things into perspective, Olynyk is currently averaging 8.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game for the Jazz in 50 appearances this season.
On top of that, he is shooting an incredible 56.2% from the field and 42.9% from the three-point line.
Keeping his stats in mind, any playoff-contending team will undoubtedly benefit from his services.
With the trade deadline closer than ever, if Olynyk will get traded, fans should hear about it sooner rather than later.
After all, the report also suggested that the Jazz are hoping to finalize a deal before the deadline passes.
The Jazz are currently the 10th seed in the Western Conference with a 26-26 record.
