<p>Some dare to say that the big man is a dying breed in today’s <strong>NBA. </strong>And, while that could be true to some extent, we just saw<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-3-players-who-could-save-joel-embiid-and-the-sixers-20220513-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joel Embiid</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nikola-jokics-youth-coach-was-afraid-bigger-players-would-hurt-him-20220510-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikola Jokic</a></strong> go toe-to-toe for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-joel-embiid-discusses-losing-the-mvp-race-again-20220511-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>MVP</strong></a> award this season.</p>
<p>Even so, it seems like centers are the most disposableor expendable players nowadays. If not, why would webe hearing all those rumors around <strong>Anthony Davis or Rudy Gobert </strong>over the past couple of weeks?</p>
<p>With that in mind, there’s a big chance that some lesser, yet<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-trade-rumors-3-realistic-destinations-for-rudy-gobert-20220503-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">impactful big men</a></strong> are also on the move ahead of next season. So here, we’ll share our predictions for<strong> three starting centers likely to be traded.</strong></p>
<h2>NBA Rumors: 3 Centers Who Could Swith Teams Next Season</h2>
<h3>3. Clint Capela</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="397" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:397" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220522_BUS_191216_clint_capela.jpg_631782975_a78298ff.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=397" width="740" height="397"></figure><figcaption>    Clint Capela – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>When healthy, <strong>Clint Capela</strong> has been a defensive force for the <strong>Atlanta Hawks</strong>. He’s a big offensive factor in the pick-and-roll and one of the best rim protectors in the league. Then again, the Hawks have been active in trade talks for nearly every star over the past couple of years.</p>
<p>Capela’s contract and impact make him a valuable trade asset for salary-matching purposes. Moreover, <strong>Onyeka Okongwu</strong> looks promising and ready to embrace a bigger role on a team-friendly deal.</p>
<h3>2. Deandre Ayton</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="397" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:397" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220522_BUS_191216_deandre_ayton.jpg_631782975_dfa1e1a1.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=397" width="740" height="397"></figure><figcaption>    Deandre Ayton – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Deandre Ayton</strong> and the <strong>Phoenix Suns</strong> could never reach an agreement over an extension. He doesn’t feel valued in the desert, and his frustration was evident in Game 7 against the <strong>Dallas Mavericks</strong>, as he barely played.</p>
<p>Ayton believes he’s a max player and wants to be paid as such. And while some teams could be on the fence about signing him to a huge deal, the Suns might be forced to either let him go or work on a sign-and-trade. He’s <strong>a restricted free agent</strong>, so they could still bring him back if they choose to.</p>
<h3>1. Nikola Vucevic</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="397" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:397" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220522_BUS_191216_nikola_vucevic.jpg_631782975_d795976f.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=397" width="740" height="397"></figure><figcaption>    Nikola Vucevic – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Nikola Vucevic</strong> was solid in his first half-season with the <strong>Chicago Bulls </strong>but not so much in the encore. While he’s a versatile scorer and solid rebounder, his defense is subpar, and his fit next to<strong> Zach LaVine</strong> and<strong> DeMar DeRozan</strong> is somewhat questionable.</p>
<p><strong>Arturas Karnisovas</strong> is aggressive and won’t hesitate to pull the trigger if he finds a suitable deal, even if he’s one of DeRozan’s best friends going back to college. The Bulls need a defensive-minded PF/C and/or draft picks. So,don’t be shocked if they move on from Vucif they can get any of those things.</p>

<p>It’s not the start to the season that <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/international-nba-players-taken-1st-overall-in-the-draft-20200805-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deandre Ayton</a> of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/phoenix-suns-t94622" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Phoenix Suns</a></strong> was expecting. The 23-year-old center was supposed to enter his fourth season in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> with a new contract, but that has not happened.</p>
<p><strong>According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Ayton was expecting a max deal to be put forward, </strong>especially considering the season he had last year, but ultimately team owner Robert Sarver elected not to offer Ayton said contract.</p>

<p><strong>Deandre Ayton the number 1 pick in the NBA Draft in 2018, was clutch for the Suns last season with 14.4 points per game and 10.5 rebounds per game. </strong>Ayton told reporters that he was <strong><em>“disappointed” that he and the Suns could not reach an agreement for a contract extension. Ayton went on to state that he “loves the Suns” and “wants to be respected like his peers in his NBA Draft class.”</em></strong></p>
<p>With his contract extension ongoing the Suns open the NBA season on Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. Unless Ayton and the Suns agree on a new deal, <strong>he will be a restricted free agent at season’s end.</strong></p>
