NBA Trade Deadline: Lakers, Knicks, Nets, Mavs, Hawks, Pacers, Blazers, Pistons, Wizards, Pelicans
Yo what’s going on guys and my employer Hoops hype has dropped AKA Michael scottow go check it out on hoops.com she’ll be on the front page also go ahead and read my Terence Davis interview I’m actually going to interview marcine Gortat later by the time you’re probably watching this I’ve
Interviewed marcine but either way today we’re doing NBA trade deadline Intel that we’re hearing Lakers Nets Nets Nicks Nets Mavs Hawks Pacers Blazers Pistons Wizards Pelicans if you haven’t been watching our series that we’ve been doing we go through all these time stamps are in the description down below
And then if you want to watch the individual videos they will also be clipped and then added with other information in my YouTube channel hit that like subscribe button let’s get right into it so the first one we’re hearing is the jonte Murray of course
This is the one that we’re just going to get out the way so Atlanta is at least looking for two first round picks we’re hearing from the ringer the Hawks are not looking to take back any salary cuz they’re cheap bastards leag sour is told hoop type not the cheap bastards part
But that they’re not wanting to take taler you all know how cheap Hunter wrestler is with the Lakers having been the arguably the most interested or linked team to Murray due to his representation with clutch clutch Sports any framework for Murray would likely involve D’Angelo Russell and probably
Gab Vincent as that would be contingent with Russell being flipped to a third team like the Brooklyn Nets as Atlanta is in the process of looking for a buyer Russell’s $18.69 million contract with a player option in next year and his playing style is not viewed as a good
Fit for the Hawks as reported Los Angeles would have to use their 2029 first round pick ESPN has said and the Lakers could get Atlanta’s asking price of two first round picks by probably giving up Jaylen Hood chafino but it’s worth noting that Atlanta chose Kobe
Buffkin over him in the draft the Hawks do covet Austin Reeves so he could be the guy to get that trade value down now in another big Market Murray is drawing trade interest from New York as the Nicks AR in a rush to push their chips
In the table for him as ogan anobi has been really good for them the Nets begin as a suggested fit for Murray by ESPN’s Bobby Marx the Hoops hype podcast was the one that touched on that Brooklyn has since reported interest in him involving a Spencer did wiy deal
Brooklyn is shying away from Atlanta’s asking price of at least two first round picks Houston had not Houston Hoops hpes has learned now the Sixers have been linked to Murray but Daryl Murray probably won’t give up that many picks for someone who might be a questionable
Fit next to Tyrese Maxi and Dell embiid now rival Executives expect Mar to continue to gauge the trade market the Pistons were linked him but it’s not a realistic fit with Ivy and Cunningham there despite that the heat who are interested in him won’t make an aggressive push nor will the Spurs
Because they don’t have the assets the Hawks covet and the the the Warriors just don’t really see a way of getting that to happen so let me hear you guys’ thoughts where do you think he lands it’s kind of getting harder with every day that passes this might be one
That gets pushed through the off season so the New York Knicks are up and the Knicks over here from what we’re seeing is they’re dangling a package of quinning Grimes and Evan fornier which I believe is like 2021 million you’re getting right there and that’s enough to
Get you someone like d jonte Murray but the the Knicks don’t want to push their trade chips in for Murray and given the recent success of oan and Obi they’re in no rush to make a deal Hoops hype has learned several rival Executives say that the they’ve already unofficially
Penciled in an anobi to resign with the Knicks this off season New York is considered waiting to the offseason when another star could potentially become available depending on the asking price fluctuating for jont Murray and other players over the next few weeks before the deadline the Knicks are doing their
Due diligence looking at various players around the league including Hornet’s guard Terry Rosier Blazers guard Malcolm Brogden and former Tom tho favorite Al Burks in addition the Knicks are surveying the backup trade backup power forward trade market so you could see maybe I don’t think they do a deal with
The Pacers maybe like a Jaylen Smith but another one maybe somebody from Utah like Kelly oin that might be a little too rich for them I think there could be some people that they could go out and have some interest in I want to hear you guys’
Thoughts if you’re a Knicks fan I’m sorry that this uh I don’t know why this one shifted but yeah I want hear you guys’ thoughts on the Knicks all right so what we are specifically heing right now with the Indiana Pacers is they are still scouring the market for potential
Moves if needed to be made now what we’re hearing is following the acquisition of bascal yakum rival Executives you know applaud them for being able to keep Benedict Ma and jarus Walker Obby Topp and Andrew nard Ben Shepard and Buddy healed the result has created a log Jam with jayen smith top
In and Walker all competing for the minutes behind seaka given this new front Court conundrum that’s been created he’ll could be the guy that’s eventually moved to give mat and Mard and Shephard minutes while I think Jaylen Smith is probably going to be the guy that they just brought an obit toop
And I think they like OB and Walker obviously this future I think Jaylen Smith is on the multi-year contract and we talked about him he could be a guy that the Knicks go after and he’s on cheap enough deal that a lot of people would like to have a
Rebounding big along the lines of a Jaylen Smith I think there there is interest for that around the league the Dallas Mavericks I think they’re definitely an interesting team as I think they’re they do need to so Grant Williams is cool and all but Mr Derek Jones kind of took his offensive
Production and is’s like giving them what they need and I talked about this in a deal that you could go out I forgot who we talked about on the NBA show this morning a few guys that we thought were good fits for the D I mean obviously a
Kyle kma would be great but I think he might be too expensive for them to go out and get but you know obviously last year they wanted Buon banovich Pascal cakam supposedly Kyle kman Jeremy Grant are guys they’re keeping now the idea of Grant Williams Jaden Hardy and Josh
Green in a draft competion is the best deal that they can get they are supposedly getting calls for Derek Lively but Dallas is told that he’s Untouchable and Dallas hasn’t been a healthy team and we’ll use the next few weeks to address that and see which
Players could be moved or not but I think definitely when you look at this situation it’s a team that they want a forward I think you know another guy that they could get really cheap he’s been playing better now but John Collins ran holes with maxi Kela ran Holmes
With that’s where it gets home that’s where it gets hard CU I think Tim Hardway is playing too good to move him so that that’s my thought definitely there that where it becomes a bit harder but I want to hear you guys’ thoughts there that’s what we’re hearing
From Dallas all right the Washington Wizards everybody’s fan favorite story Kyle kuzma we’re hearing three first round picks tus Jones was somebody that I think we always planned on moving but that’s coming to a reality right now and the Washington Wizards obviously an intriguing team heading into the
Deadline while while kok kusma is drawing in exploratory trade interests from rival organizations I think the the biggest interest for them is understanding that a lot of people are looking at kyok kma as the consolidation prize if he weren’t able to land Pascal cakam as he’s somebody that is well
Well-liked within the Wizards organization due to his championship pedigree and being a good culture guy my roommate walked in and I got 4 hours of bedtime right now it’s looking like but what we were specifically talking about Washington Wizards Kyle kozma teams that didn’t get Pascal seam or didn’t want to
Pay that much are probably looking at Kyle kosma again Houston Rocket Sacramento Kings are guys that there I mean the Houston Rockets send me Jaylen actually I don’t want Jaylen green I had to stop myself there I don’t know who I’d want from the Houston Rockets but from the Sacramento
Kings I mean Kevin herder Davon Mitchell isn’t the worst thing in the world I don’t really want to trade kyak kzo but I I can understand that you know Washington wants two to three first round picks and they with given that Kyle kusma has a descending contract
There’s no immediate urgency for them to want to part ways with him so really like kman isn’t going anywhere unless somebody gives him a Godfather offer now tyus Jones is the best point guard backup point guard in the league he wants to be a starter he’s a guy who has
One of the top assist to turnover ratios in the NBA over the past few seasons he’s 27 years old he’s going to be an unrestricted free agent and is a player that the Wizards would like to resign according to Hoops hype and as a full-time starter this season for the
First time in his career a role that tus Jones has expressed that he ideally would like to retain during free agency courtships according to League sources tyus Jones is averaging career highs across the board 13 points 52% from the field 42% from three 5.6 assists and a steal and a half
From that’s I don’t know what I was going right there but the belief is Washington wants at least a first round pick for him and should the team dagle a future Fierce round pick for a guy like him a deal like that could be something that the Wizards expect to offer Washington
Has a boatload of trade exceptions and will look to use those to take on salary dumps from other teams that for future draft picks and young players to bolster their rebuilding efforts Washington has several trade player exceptions 12.35 from the christop POR Zing deal 9.8 from Monte Morris 5.38 from the Bradley Beal
Deal and 3.5 from the M muscala deal so those are all ones to keep an eye out for now we’re specific hearing that the trailers don’t want to trade Mr Jeremy Grant and I mean it makes sense with Pascal seum off the trade market Kyle kman Jeremy Grant are
Basically the next two gems behind de jante Murray as people are coveting now there’s initial belief from various Executives around the league that Grant would be strong trade candidate following the extension he signed even though he’s been a little overpaid now the Blazers have signaled that they
Won’t part way with Grant easily as he’s viewed as a very good locker room leader and a compliment to the team core young guys on the roster and has maintained his two-way versatility and efficient three-point shooting at a career-high clip of 41.2% the question some executives are
Asking is whether Grant could be the missing piece to a championship Contender the way Aaron Gordon fits seamlessly for the nuggets as a combo forward and eventually help them win a title as a result the Rival Ral executive say Portland is viewing Grant as a positive trade asset whereas some
Were hoping that the Blazers would sell high on Grant early in his 5-year contract as more of a neutral asset thus Executives believe that Malcolm brogon is more likely to be dealt than Jeremy Grant if Portland makes a trade at the deadline since he’s considered less expensive to acquire than Jeremy Grant
Rival Executives have spoken with Hoops hype believe a fair asking price for brogon is a first round pick and salary filler when asked by hoopsy what brogon has meant to Portland this season Blazer coach johy bips replied he’s like our voice and one of our leaders when he
Talks you listen he’s in a tough spot here he’s coming off the bench and sometimes he doesn’t have the ball in his hands he’s a point guard but he understands where we’re at and what we’re doing when he plays he’s always a plus player I love having him here he’s
An extension of me out there and in the locker room he’s a leader his presence is felt every day end quote phip said phips explained that brog admitted when chatting with Hoops hype the 31y old guards rle has been an adjustment and a challenge that most mentally tough guys
In the league go through challenges and adjust with different teams in different roles while persevering regardless Brogden explained to hoopsy that his goal is to persevere no matter what role he’s put into and it’s not just a new role Ren is facing it’s a sharp decrease
In a team expectation going from an NBA final Contender with the Celtics to a rebuilding team so Broden has closed the game for the Portland when healthy but eventually Portland is trying to hand the keys over to number three pick scoot Henderson and fulltime and continue giving guards Anthony Simon and Shaden
Sharp more and more minutes so that’s definitely something to consider I don’t want to say this is dark but it is kind of dark so the Pelicans might get broken up it’s not like they want it okay but the luxury tax with the new second apron coming into effect this off season as
Like we’re going to see the first real wave of it that’s going to be something that could be a concern to break up the team and we all know how cheap they are the New Orlean Pelicans traded Kyle Lewis in a second round pick for nothing in return essentially offloading his salary
Allowing the Pelicans to duck under the luxury tax and save $18 million in the process ESPN’s Bobby marks noted now I understand when you’re not a contending team there is no point to pay the luxury tax but the following move raises a question around the league will the
Belans start to move players this summer to help them avoid the taxs again starting center yonas Valen junis is someone who could become an unrestricted free agent this summer and is considered the top Center behind Nick Claxton valenz has been mention in multiple trades this past year are pelicans
Really going to pay him at 32 in May Rising young forward Trey Murphy I third is also eligible for a rookie scale extension during the summer and a significant pay raise how much will you command and can the picans afford that bill herb Jones Just got paid and he has all defensive
Potential and he’s admired by a lot will they want to keep that CJ McCollum the team’s de facto point guard has remained a steady veteran presence and continue to be efficient turn 33 can they sell high on him now and move on will the Pelicans trade one of their
Stars Brandon Ingram or Zion Williamson as they’ve both been in trade speculation but continue to be said no could they acquire another star in return or possibly a Hydra piic that could be a franchise caliber Game Changer would the Pelicans grow frustrated with Zion Williamson’s injury history and weight flu flu fluctuation
Fluctuation fluctuation to move on from him these are all things rival executives are eagerly awaiting the answers to these questions and will be ready to bounce on the next available Pelican when the time strikes so that’s where I want to hear your guys’ thoughts Down Below in the comment section what
Do you guys expect from the New Orleans Pelicans why but that’s basically be it for me guys hope you guys did enjoy pap

Pelicans going to stay out until offseason at earliest possibly next years trade deadline, some believe Jonas could receive a 2 year team friendly extension. Also depending on how they finish this year will decide whether they will give BI a max/supermax contract.
