Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving and Philadelphia 76ers playmaker Michael Carter-Williams could suit up for another team next season, as trade rumors circulated about the availability of these players on the trading front.

Irving, the 2011 first-overall pick and 2011-12 NBA Rookie of the Year, has surprisingly become a subject of trade rumors following reports that the Cavaliers are not willing to give him a max contract extension deal.

The two-time All-Star guard averaged 20.7 points, 5.8 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game in three seasons, but has never carried the Cavs back to the postseason during that span.

"#Cavs have fielded a couple calls about Kyrie Irving, league sources say. Given talk of max extensions, not surprising teams willing to ask," Sam Amico of Fox Sports posted on his Twitter account on Sunday.

On the other hand, the Sixers have bounced around a report about parting ways with Carter-Williams, who just became the first rookie since Magic Johnson and Oscar Robertson to record at least 16 points, 6 assists and 6 rebounds in his maiden season.

ESPN insider Chad Ford reported about the idea of trading Carter-Williams incase the Sixers drafted Dante Exum of Australia. Touted as the next Russell Westbrook, Exum possessed an immense upside but his playing style would not translate well alongside Carter-Williams in the backcourt according to several NBA scouts.

"The Philadelphia 76ers are Exum fans as well, and if Wiggins is off the board, Exum will be in the mix. They think Exum and Carter-Williams could play together in the backcourt, although it would not be a very good shooting tandem. I think the more obvious fit comes if they trade Carter-Williams, an idea I'm told they have bounced around," Ford stated in his insiders report.

Irving and Carter-Williams are top point guards in the Eastern Conference. While the Irving is a better offensive player, Carter-Williams has upside teams would want to develop. Moreover, Williams is just entitled to get $2.5 million next season. On the other hand, Irving could demand $17 to $20 million per year deal after next season.

"While Irving is the better player, teams win in the NBA right now by locking up young talent to cheap contracts -- and although he is more proven, Irving at $17 million a season is not a option for any team than Carter-Williams at $2.5 million," according to Elliot Shorr-Parks of New Jersey News.
