While the Knicks were linked to Timberwolves forward Karl-Anthony Towns earlier in the season, there are several factors that make a trade difficult at this time and potentially through the trade deadline. First, Minnesota is rolling as one of the top teams in the West and doesn’t want to break up a good thing. Second, while Quickley has fans in Minnesota’s front office, the same cannot be said for Julius Randle, league sources told HoopsHype. Mitchell Robinson also isn’t an ideal trade candidate for Minnesota... Читать дальше...

Philadelphia has a boatload of expiring contracts that can be used to create cap space this upcoming summer or dangle as trade bait for teams looking to make a salary dump. Teams have expressed exploratory interest in forward KJ Martin, who’ll be an unrestricted free agent in July, league sources told HoopsHype. Despite a limited role since joining the 76ers, rival teams are intrigued after he averaged 12.7 points and 5.5 rebounds for the Rockets and played all 82 games last season. Furkan Korkmaz...

The Atlanta Hawks continue to monitor Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam as a potential trade target after attempting to acquire him during the offseason, league sources told HoopsHype. … Hawks forward De’Andre Hunter was among the players discussed during the Siakam talks, and his $20 million salary and versatility on both sides of the ball playing both forward spots at times makes him a trade candidate to watch in a potential deal.

With teams across the league looking for potential wing and point guard help, the Brooklyn Nets have several trade candidates, depending on the direction the team goes ahead of February’s trade deadline. Spencer Dinwiddie, who became the third Net in franchise NBA history with 1,500 or more assists and 500 or more threes, joining Jason Kidd and Vince Carter, is among the names to keep an eye on in the coming months. “Dinwiddie can help a team and make big shots,” an NBA executive told HoopsHype.

NBA executives across the league are also monitoring Brooklyn’s wings, including Dorian Finney-Smith and Royce O’Neale. Finney-Smith has previously drawn interest from several playoff-caliber teams, including the Dallas Mavericks, Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers, and Memphis Grizzlies (before several injuries changed their trajectory this season), among other teams, league sources told HoopsHype.

Alex Caruso holds significant trade interest around the league, but Chicago has yet to show a willingness to move the All-Defensive guard, according to rival NBA executives who spoke with HoopsHype. His defensive ability and $19.35 million combined salary through the 2024-25 season makes him more intriguing in the eyes of rival executives. Multiple executives told HoopsHype they believe the Bulls can get a first-round pick and a rotational player for Caruso but weren’t sure if they’d get two first rounders. Читать дальше...

Rival NBA executives are monitoring Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell’s happiness in Cleveland. Mitchell is signed through next season before a $37 million player option for the 2025-26 season, which many around the league expect him to eventually decline. Cleveland wants to sign Mitchell to a long-term contract down the line and is in no rush to move him after making offseason moves to improve the team around him and the team’s core. … Should Mitchell become available on the trade market at any point...

Jarrett Allen and Caris LeVert, whose names came up in trade chatter last season, are players the Cavaliers want to keep, barring a trade that further moves the needle towards title contention for Cleveland, HoopsHype has learned.

Following the James Harden deal to the Los Angeles Clippers earlier this season and the recent trade chatter surrounding Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine, HoopsHype spoke with 15 NBA executives and league sources to project the top trade candidates for each team this season.

The inquiry into whether Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey had an inappropriate relationship with a minor has hit a roadblock — TMZ Sports has learned the alleged teen and her family are refusing to cooperate with officials. Law enforcement sources tell us police would obviously like to speak with the purported female and those close to her to gather more information regarding the social media claims that made rounds over the weekend … but as of right now, no one is talking. It’s a significant... Читать дальше...

Expect the Lakers to express interest in the Bulls’ Zach LaVine, Shams Charania said on FanDuelTV (Twitter link). However, Charania believes the Lakers will take a “patient” approach and wouldn’t be able to swing that type of deal until some of the free agents they signed over the summer become trade eligible. Charania believes the Bulls would demand the Lakers’ top guard. “The Bulls, I’m sure, would covet Austin Reaves in any potential Zach LaVine trade,” he said.

But against the Rockets, the Mavs delivered a statement victory, taking a 121-115 victory at home behind Luka Doncic’s 41 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists. And head coach Jason Kidd is clearly done with hearing all of the cynicism surrounding his team, as Kidd feels like the Mavs haven’t yet fully washed away the stink of last year despite their strong start to the 2023-24 season. “Failing is alright. It’s not a bad thing to fail. For an athlete, you get better and learn from it. […] Sometimes [the ball] goes in, sometimes it doesn’t.
