NBA Trade Rumors Are HEATING UP
So we’ve had NBA trade season here for a little bit we had the OG and and Obi trade but now we’re getting to the point where like big time names are available we’re getting real concrete rumors about where some of these players are going to end up here pretty soon and right now
This feels like a very exciting deadline there’s a lot of rumors out there and I think there’s going to be a lot of guys move there’s a ton of teams that are kind of in an in between situation where they need to shake up the roster there’s
A ton of parody throughout the NBA right now so if you’re someone that’s looking for and looking forward to a very active trade deadline I think this is the trade deadline for you first guy I want to talk about is Deon Marie we talked about
Him not too long ago in terms of the possibilities of him going to the Lakers things like that new information on Deon Murray because when I saw that he initially was available for trade my first thought was okay they’re trying to split up the Trey young Deon Murr thing
It just doesn’t work but now we’re getting information that all it might take to get him is salary filler and a first round pick keep in mind this is the guy that Atlanta traded multiple firsts for not that long ago and now they’re willing to just move on from the
Entire situation for salary filler and a pick who knows how true that is or or you know if they were actually going to be expecting more how much they actually want to move to J muray but that’s the information that we have right now in that context opens up like half the
League to possibly trade for Deon Murray the Knicks have been mentioned as an option to pair alongside jayen Brunson the Nets have been has have been mentioned as a team that desperately needs a guard and I think it’s clear that Deon Murray represents a significant guard upgrade for a good
Amount of teams but clearly based off the value that Atlanta is hopefully expecting his Market has cooled down significantly since Atlanta made that move a couple of years ago the Lakers are of course involved but that that piece of information of what kind of value Atlanta is hoping to get in
Exchange for Deonte Murray means that one he is very very available and two there are a lot of teams around the league that would be able to to potentially meet that price and so it feels like Deonte Murray could go to the Knicks the Nets the Lakers the Sixers
The Kings half the teams around the league basically could trade for Deon Murray speaking of someone that’s very available pas seak the new information that we have for him is that is basically guaranteed that he is going to be on a new team before the trade deadline because he is an expiring
Contract it’s completely different situation than Murray uh he’s on an expiring contract and he’s going to have a lot of control over what his future looks like uh apparently Indiana is a BigTime threat to possibly sign him away in free agency they would they would offer him a Max contract right now if
They could so clearly Toronto is nervous about him leaving a free agency they’re very very far apart in terms of contract extension talks so that means SE yakum is almost 100% going to be on a new team and the list of teams he could go to is
Limited to places that se yakum actually wants to go Philadelphia has been mentioned the Lakers and Warriors have kind of been mentioned but especially for the Lakers from a from an asset standpoint that feels difficult and for the Warriors it’s cool but from a fit standpoint with kaminga and Draymond
Already there that’s definitely a little bit weird we had some Sacramento Buzz for them you know as relates to sakam about a week or two ago but it seems like either he doesn’t want to sign an extension in Sacramento so they don’t want to give up a ton or as we’re going
To talk about later Keegan Murray was just completely off the table which meant that Toronto was not interested so I’m really interested to see where siakam’s value eventually Falls because he’s really good but he has so much control over where he goes and so his value might actually be lower but
Toronto would still be willing to trade him even for lower value because of the expiring contract situation next up speaking of the Warriors which I talked about a little bit with sakam they are officially at the point now where reportedly every player on the roster that isn’t named Steph Curry is
Available for trade that includes Jonathan kaminga who we got some rumors about a week week and a half ago about him not being super happy with his role in Golden state that includes Draymond Green who’s going to be returning to the team that includes Klay Thompson who
They’ve been hesitant to move because of sentimental reasons that includes everybody on the roster Andrew Wiggins is an option as well which is super super interesting to me because I don’t know what has happened to him since they won the title since they you know went
To the finals and he was a huge huge part of that team beating Boston in the finals he was incredible was a rebounder in that series he was was confident that whole season he started in the All-Star Game and now he’s like barely a role player out there it’s a very weird
Situation in Golden State and I’m just I I’m happy and I’m excited that they have made the decision that they are open to trading you know pretty much everybody because that’s the reality of the situation and they have been hesitant to get to that point because of you know
Sentimental reasons not wanting to break up this this core of Draymond and clay and all these guys and honestly Draymond feels unlikely as a trade candidate right now because he’s just now returning to the team and then to immediately around and trade him not to mention what would his value actually be
Considering he just signed this new contract and some of the issues that he’s had this year but the more interesting part of this is it seems like a guarantee that Golden State’s roster is going to look maybe not significantly different but definitely different in some way once we get beyond
The trade deadline and as a trade team they are one of the more interesting teams in the entirety of the NBA to me next team to talk about is Sacramento we mentioned them briefly earlier as it relates to Pascal SE yakum they seem motivated to do something they’re right
About out where they were last year in terms of on Pace for their number of wins but they’ve been a little bit shakier at times especially defensively and I think they want to add another piece alongside Fox and sabonis to kind of help a little bit with you know some
Of the offensive responsibility those guys carry because Kevin hder hasn’t been as good this year Malik monk has been kind of in and out of the lineup uh their offense in terms of the other guys has been a little bit less potent so it seems like they want to add a piece SE
Yakum was mentioned as we talked about earlier in the video but either there’s an extension issue there or they don’t want to trade Keegan Murray that seems like a iCal talking point for them is that Keegan Murray is not available they want to keep him and they want to add
Someone else alongside their core of fox sabonis and Murray which to me makes a ton of sense I’m not really sure who that guy would be at this point rumors seem a little bit you know kind of iffy on the exact player they’d like to add
They’ve been a line team in the past uh offering him a restrictive free agent contract a handful of seasons ago so that’s always a guy to keep an eye on for them de Jon Murray I feel like is a little bit of a sleeper you know option for them as well Sacramento seems
Committed to making a deal and keeping Keegan Murray out out of the deal next up is a guy that we haven’t actually gotten a ton of rumors about lately and that’s donova Mitchell Cleveland’s been weirdly good since since Evan Mobley and Darius scarin went down Jared all’s been
Playing out of his mind some of the other you know wings and stuff been guarding and shooting really well and Donovan Mitchell has been enough for them offensively they haven’t been you know outstanding by any means but they’ve been good enough that they’ve kind of cooled off all of these rumors
About the possibility of Donovan Mitchell getting traded before the deadline now that can always change and he can always look around and say the only reason this team is any good is because of me and because I’m playing playing well that’s definitely a possibility and I still wouldn’t be
Surprised if Donovan Mitchell is on another team before the deadline but it seems like at least for the midseason aspect of this it seems like things have cooled down in Cleveland surrounding donov Mitchell still going to be something to keep an eye on in the offseason he is a 2025 pre agent so
Cleveland does still have time to figure this out which potentially could be motivating their decision-making process here he’s not going to sign an extension so it’s something they’re going to have to deal with at some point but in terms of before the deadline it seems like
That has kind of gone away for now but a team that does seem to want to make a move is the Indiana Pacers we talked about them a little bit with sakam earlier in terms of having the cap space to potentially sign him in the offseason they’ve been active in free agency in
The past they tried to get DeAndre not too long ago but it seems like mid-season Indiana wants to make a move but there’s weirdly there’s been some mathin Buzz around them I don’t know why they would want to trade him but there’s been some Buzz there they want to keep
You know a good amount of their young Corp intact but they’re willing to make a move to add a piece they feel like they’re good this year they love what they have with halberton and they don’t want this to just be a you know feel season for them and they definitely want
To add to their group they’ve got a ton of assets they’ve got a ton of young players that I think teams would be interested in maybe they just go ahead and make the seaka move to get a head start on that and then potentially just go ahead and sign him to an extension
That’s possible but right now it seems like Indiana is just a team to keep an eye on as a possible adding team at the deadline that’s kind of the Roundup all the rumors that we have right now of course things can always change as we get closer and closer to the deadline
But I can’t wait because it feels like a very active situation lots of teams lots of players possibly involved in some moves here over the next handful of weeks

Lakers should trade Lebron and AD, Lebron to the Knicks for two second round picks, ans AD to the pistons for two buckets of chicken wings
Spurs should send back those atl picks for Trae Young 🔥
Jerami Grant and maybe a 2nd round pick to GS for Kuminga? He would fit well in Portland
It would be interesting if the lakers trade reaves for dejounte. They should.
U know what’s wild, imagine if Murray stayed in SA… BROOOO him and wemby would have the spurs in the playoff race rn
Crazy that this mf Murray truly wanted out KNOWING IF HE JUST SAT A YEAR AND HELPED HIS TEAM TANK HE COULDVE BEEN SET FOR THE REST OF HIS CAREER
Murray was averaging (if I’m correct) 21/5/7 on like 40/40/80 splits… mf wemby would KILL for that type of PG
I have to disagree about Warriors being one of the most interesting teams. As a struggling team, with no real trade assets they have become largely irrelevant almost in record time.
Your reports about the hawks are wrong the report said they want 2 first round picks
I would be happy if we get Dejounte Murray and Jarrett Allen for Wiggins, CP3, Kuminga, and whatever picks we have.
Would Dejonte get unlocked if he went to the heat??
Lmao, Malik Monk has not been "in and out of the line up." Hes up for 6th man of the year!
THANK YOU!!! WE ARE NOT TRADE DONNOVAN!!!
Draymond to Sacramento
"real concrete rumors" might as well have been saying Jumbo Shrimp
Are the Lakers connected to all players lol. 🤷♂️
As a Heat fan I’d definitely trade Lowry and two first for Dejounte Murray I wouldn’t want to but I’d consider also adding Jovic to that package
8:02 video??? NICE…..we all know what you did their
Its gonna be funny if the bulls have to use a protected 1st to help package lavine out 😂
"I don't know what happened to Wiggins" I can tell you with no words… $$$$$$$$.
Siakam is making it clear he won't stay with any team who trades for him because it costs him money. If a team wants him, get him this summer as a free agent.
I would believe his camp on this. He will be highly in demand.
I look at Dejonte Murray, Kyle Kuzma, Jeremi Grant, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and most of the Hornets roster as likely to be moved.
The maybe/maybe not guys are now in Chicago.
It will depend on how they are playing over the next 5-7 games. I think this stretch is going to matter if Zach Lavine is traded or not. If Caruso or anyone else on the roster is traded or not. Them climbing back into the play in tournament area probably has the front office wondering again which direction to go. So I could see them trying to add pieces, stand pat or trade away for a rebuild. Which is exactly what has been the problem. They haven't been able to pick a direction.
Sacramento I think only adds if they can improve with it.
Seeing Harrison Barnes basically be someone who is doing nothing most of the time and then Kevin Huerter struggling like crazy this season hasn't helped.
I only see them making a move if it can improve the interior defense, be more consistent as a 3rd scoring option and provide more rebounding, the areas the Kings struggle with.
Hence why I look at Portland and see Jeremi Grant as a possibility to be moved.
Zach Lavine I can see happening, but I don't see how he helps the interior defense. So I am wondering who would make sense to come with Lavine from the Bulls that financially can of course work and wouldn't cost the Kings too much. We know they won't include Keegan Murray. Probably only a handful of people they would consider trading Murray for and I don't think any of them are available.
Warriors are in such an awful situation. They have 2 horrid contracts, are super old, don’t have a lot of dc/young assets, and are just not good
