Here are all the latest NBA trade rumors you need to know:

Smart is averaging 10.1 points and 4.7 assists per game this season, and while he's an excellent defensive player, Boston is looking for an offensive boost to their bench unit. Plus, he will also be a restricted free agent this offseason and the Celtics may not match the offers he'll receive on the open market.
Williams is averaging a career-high 23.3 points and 5.3 assists per game this season, while Evans is averaging 19.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 5.0 assists per game.
