Other long-time players who have never been traded: Steph, Klay, Dray, Haslem… I’m running out of ideas.
There's a guy that plays for the Suns that a lot of people talk about named Devin Booker. You may have heard of him.
He’s 28.
And?

Still plenty of time to get traded. We’re talking about people near the end of their careers. I also didn’t mention Wemby, Joker, or Bol Bol.

So has LeBron. We’re talking about whether they’ve been traded. Try to follow the conversation.

Lebron's "I've never been traded" has the real energy of a pretty girl saying, "I've never been dumped." Way to go, honey.

Technically, LeBron was sent to Miami in a sign and trade deal.

I think that’s actually pretty cool and I hope they include them in the midseason tournament…actually makes me wonder if it was already in the works and that’s why they added the mid season tournament.

Blood clots are scary and serious. An unfortunately placed blood clot led Chris Bosh to an early retirement. Hope Dame will be okay.
One of the things I'm dealing with, not great indeed.
Sorry to hear it, rhylek. Wishing for a speedy recovery. You got this.

I highly doubt a player has ever hit a shot from beyond half court, at the actual buzzer, when trailing, to win the game, in the entire history of the NBA.

Tyreke Evans hit one from beyond half court, but the game might’ve been tied, I don’t remember.

Yeah I found about 5 instances of it happening, I’m surprised.

The one vs. the Suns seems to have been false after all, but here are a couple of additional ones that I was able to find actual video of:

Jeremy Lamb (on the road!):


Devin Harris (after getting blocked! I think I may actually remember this one, from 2009):
