NBA Trades and Rumors: The Most Important News of the Day
- 3:23 p.m.: Schröder an issue in Milwaukee?
- 2:40 p.m.: Mavs still in PJ Washington
- 2:03 p.m.: New Orleans comes knocking about Murray
- 1:20 p.m.: Warriors interested in Kelly Olynyk
2:58 p.m.: So who’s left? The Lakers would once again be an option, Phoenix actually also needs a point guard, but probably doesn’t have the contracts to realize such a deal. Schröder would also fit with the Miami Heat, and the Knicks could also use a backup guard.
2:52 p.m.: From a German perspective, Dennis Schröder’s situation is of course particularly interesting. Will the man from Braunschweig stay in Toronto? According to Michael Grange (Sportsnet), the Raptors would probably only receive second-round picks in return. The Wolves would have been a good spot, but they opted for the cheaper Monté Morris yesterday. So this door is closed.
NBA Rumors: Mavericks in talks for Washington
2:46 p.m.: …Kyle Kuzma might not want to leave Washington at all. The Mavs have been linked to the former Lakers forward for some time now, but Marc Stein (Substack) reports that Kuzma could well imagine staying in Washington. This also means: The Wizards will not let go of the winger at any price and will possibly keep him after the deadline.
2:40 p.m.: It continues with the Dallas Mavericks, who are still looking for a forward. Wojnarowski reports, that the Mavs are currently in talks with the Charlotte Hornets about PJ Washington. The foursome is in the first year of his three-year, $46.5 million contract. He should be the second option for Dallas because…
2:36 p.m.: Before we really get started, here’s a bit of self-promotion. Adrian Wojnarowski and Shams Charania’s feeds will explode again today, that’s for sure. To mark this occasion, we took a look yesterday at how the two guys do breaking news and how they got into these positions in the first place. Take a look. It’s worth it, I promise!
NBA Rumors: These Sixers players probably have to go
2:29 p.m.: Andre Drummond has also been traded to Philly in the last few days; he could once again act as Embiid’s backup and step in as a starter during Embiid’s injury break. According to Jake Fischer (Yahoo Sports), the Bulls want to bag at least two second-round picks for the rebound specialist. Xavier Tillman’s deal yesterday will probably be used as a benchmark here; it also cost the Boston Celtics two second rounders.
2:22 p.m.: Somehow it only makes sense that Philly will do a lot today. They only have Joel Embiid and Jaden Springer under contract for the coming season. We can assume that Tyrese Maxey will receive his maximum contract in the summer. Here’s an overview of the Sixers’ cap sheet.
Philadelphia 76ers: The squad at a glance (salaries in million dollars)
NBA Rumors: Pelicans in on Dejounte Murray?
2:16 p.m.: Keith Pompey (Philadelphia Inquirer) gets a little more specific. It can therefore be assumed that Furkan Korkmaz ($5.4 million), Robert Covington (11.7 million) and Marcus Morris (17.1 million) will all find a new home today. Pompey names Buddy Hield (Pacers), Bojan Bogdanovic (Pistons) and Kelly Olynyk (Jazz) as possible candidates.
2:11 p.m.: Let’s take a look at Philadelphia. Here too, Wojnarowski has a few sources and reports that the Sixers will be “very active” and may make several trades at once. Logically, Daryl Morey is also at the helm here.
2:05 p.m.: The Murray rumor is at least not entirely new; yesterday Chris Haynes (Bleacher Report) reported the Pelicans’ interest. However, according to his sources, the talks have stalled.
2:01 p.m.: By the way, Wojnarowski is already awake – even though he was a guest on Sports Center at midnight yesterday. Well, who is surprised? He reportsthat the New Orleans Pelicans have inquired about Dejounte Murray from the Atlanta Hawks. And not only that: backup big Onyeka Okongwu should also be an issue for the Pelicans.
NBA News: Golden State Warriors hot for Kelly Olynyk?
1:47 p.m.: Olynyk will earn $12.1 million this season, after which his contract will expire. That should be doable for Golden State. The question will be, what do they actually give in return? Will it possibly affect Kevon Looney or, for example, the constantly injured Gary Payton II? We will see.
1:20 p.m.: We start with a rumor from the night that we still owe you. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Golden State Warriors have spoken to the Utah Jazz about a Kelly Olynyk trade. He could help the Dubs with his size and his shooting. The 32-year-old is hitting almost 43 percent of his threes this season, which is very good. But Woj didn’t reveal what the Jazz wanted. According to Brian Windhorst, the Philadelphia 76ers are also interested, so the happy bidding can begin.
1:15 p.m.: Goodbye and hello! The NBA is open until 9 p.m. today, when it is officially the trade deadline and players are no longer allowed to be traded for the rest of the season. Anything else happen today? Here you can read about yesterday evening again if you are not up to date.
