DeAndre Jordan and Chris Paul falling out? Joakim Noah for a younger, fresher center? Celtics targeting Kentucky standout Willie Trill Cauley-Stein? These are just some of the latest roundup of NBA trade rumors.
Clippers' center DeAndre Jordan seems to be on his way out of Los Angeles as Fox Sports' Bill Reiter recently tweeted that he has an ongoing rift with superstar point guard Chris Paul. If this rumor is true, then Clips fans may have seen the last of the duo's alley-oop dunks used for their team.

Meanwhile, talks about Joakim Noah's future with the Chicago Bulls continue to buzz around the league.
According to Bleacher Report's Sam Spiegelman, Noah is likely to be moved "if the team gets shaken up and Tom Thibodeau does not return as head coach." The 6-foot-11 center's trade value is diminishing fast at this point in time because of his age and the injuries he is currently battling.
Noah's overall skill set seems to be diminishing as well, as demonstrated by his dipping numbers. If a new head coach with a different offensive perspective takes over, then he may be the odd man out in the roster, as reported by Basketball Insider's Moke Hamilton.
Finally, the Boston Celtics are reportedly looking to reinforce their frontcourt and has set their sights on Kentucky Wildcat's Willie Trill Cauley-Stein.
The 7-foot, 240-pound power forward is this year's NABC and SEC Defensive Player of the Year awardee and is likely a top 10 pick in this year's draft class. CSNNE's A. Sherrod Blakely writes that Boston is "very open" to moving up on draft night to select Cauley-Stein. Currently, the Celtics hold the 16th overall pick.
