A major trade deal involving three teams is currently on top among the latest NBA trade rumors.

As teams prepare their lineup for the upcoming season of the NBA, some of them are trying to snatch a trade deal in order to add a much-needed boost to their lineup. Headlining this week's rumor mill is a three-team, five-player deal reportedly being cooked by the Boston Celtics, the Los Angeles Clippers and the Philadelphia 76ers.

This trade scenario will involve Clippers' DeAndre Jordan being traded to the Sixers. The Sixers, on the other hand, will acquire Boston Celtics' Marcus Smart and a second-draft pick from the Clippers. Completing the deal, the Clippers will acquire Sixers center Nerlens Noel, point guard Jamal Crawford and forward Amir Johnson, along with future first-round round pick from Boston.

Several trade possibilities have surfaced in the past couple of weeks, but most of which are flawed if NBA trade rules and other legalities are added into the picture, according to Inquisitr. However, this latest one appears to have more merit to it and many analysts agree that it might reach fruition should all the teams and players involve agree to all the terms, especially monetary ones.

On a technical point of view, both the Celtics and Clippers will exchange nearly the same amount of salary for all the players involved in the trade.

In the meantime, the Sixers will be swapping one player to another one, whom the said player has almost identical salaries.

The newest NBA trade rumors also suggested that Celtics is prowling for a new big man to add into its roster to help newly-signed Al Horford in the center/forward position.
