This is pure speculation at this point, but one national media member points out that Steve Novak could be a good candidate to change uniforms before the NBA trade deadline.
Tas Melas of NBATV's The Starters tweets Thursday: "One potentially interesting shooter that could be available is the Raps Steve Novak. DNP-CDs lately, plus two affordable years left on deal."
Does that mean it will happen? Not exactly. But we're glad Melas mentioned this, because for contenting teams seeking 3-point help, Novak could make a lot of sense. He's set to earn $3.44 million next season and $3.75 million in 2015-16, which would seem like a value if he can carve out a solid role playing around 15 minutes a night as a floor spacer off the bench.
Don't be surprised if teams like Charlotte, Detroit and Houston show interest in the 30-year-old leading up to the deadline.

Something else from NBA Insider. Looks like somebody just trying to come up with a story.
Of course, lots of folks here have been predicting a Novak deadline trade. I thought this was interesting because of the three teams identified.
