Mavericks Rich Paul is pushing back on trade chatter involving Anthony Davis, at least publicly. Responding to a report suggesting he wants Davis moved, Paul labeled the idea “fake news” while stopping short of fully dismissing the underlying message. Speaking on the Game Over podcast, Paul framed the situation more around player happiness, long-term positioning, […] The post NBA Rumors: Mavericks, Anthony Davis, Magic, Tyus Jones, Raptors appeared first on Hoops Wire .

Sources around the NBA expect the Magic to make a move at the trade deadline to move under the luxury tax line, according to ESPN’s Tim Bontemps and Brian Windhorst. Orlando is operating about $5.6MM into the tax, so a deal involving Tyus Jones‘ expiring $7MM contract could address the issue. However, as Bontemps and […]

Although the Bucks are more willing than ever to consider trading two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, the widespread expectation around the league is that the Giannis saga will extend to at least Thursday and potentially well beyond that, according to Tim Bontemps and Brian Windhorst of ESPN. As Bontemps and Windhorst note, general manager Jon Horst […]

The NBA trade deadline is approaching on Thursday. Feb. 5, and teams around the league are lining up for moves with a wide open championship picture. The Oklahoma City Thunder are only 14-10 after their 24-1 start, and have hardly looked like an unbeatable favorite over the last two months. With Aaron Gordon’s constant leg […]

OG Anunoby is believed to have a high trade value with interest from a number of teams should the New York Knicks make him available as they pursue a trade of Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Knicks sent out nearly their entire draft capital in a pair of 2024 trades for Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns, so any deal for Antetokounmpo will require parting with some aspects of their core other than the untouchable Jalen Brunson. The Knicks acquired Anunoby from the Toronto Raptors during the 2023-...

The Nets, 76ers, Kings, and Raptors are not necessarily the Mount Rushmore of contenders in the NBA today. So a four-game winning streak against them alone shouldn’t, and doesn’t, overwrite the 2-9 11 game stretch the Knicks experienced not too long ago. But, if you look at the way they have played since players spoke […]
