NBA's Silver says no easy fix for rash of trade demands

NEW YORK: Commissioner Adam Silver said on Saturday there is no 'silver bullet' to fix the problem of NBA stars dictating where they want to play by demanding trades to playoff contenders.

Silver was asked at the NBA all-star game in Cleveland if the league was investigating last week's trade between the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers, which saw James Harden join his third team in two seasons.
