Trading Post
As the NBA season prepares to tip off, SI.com unveils its list of prime trade candidates for 2014--15. Who's on the block? Pistons small forward Josh Smith, for starters, who already led the league in off-season trade rumors. Is a deal with the Kings back on the table or will Smith fly south to join the Pelicans? When (not if) the Suns trade guard Gerald Green, will the seven-year veteran's next stop be Chicago or Portland? Go to SI.com/nbapreview for complete NBA coverage, including Matt Dollinger's preseason power rankings, Rob Mahoney's take on the challenges facing new coaches and Ben Golliver's All-Redemption team.

Conference Calls
120 Sports hosts Tim Doyle and Dave Ross discuss whether the year-old NHL realignment has made the league more interesting. "Detroit in the Eastern Conference? It doesn't feel right," says Doyle. "You've lost one of the greatest rivalries in playoff hockey [between Detroit and Chicago]." Counters Ross, "But now Detroit doesn't have to go from the Eastern time zone to the West all the time."
