🚨 With the Play-in tournament coming up, several executives expect the trade deadline to begin on February 1st.
The teams that opted out (Raptors, Bulls, Clippers, Blazers) still have 10 days before they can determine their final strategy.

🚨 The Spurs, Pistons, Rockets and Hornets are currently named as the safest teams to make a big deal before the deadline.
In a market where there are many buyers, these 4 franchises play an important role as sellers. Almost 100% trading chance. pic.twitter.com/6VTFEl4DtI

🚨 During these lines, Arturas Karnisovas would clearly be for the continuity of his group without a big transfer at the deadline.
A losing streak could be game-changing, but neither DeRozan, LaVine nor Vucevic are expected to be traded until Feb. 9. pic.twitter.com/NLeHs0Ff9j

🚨 The most likely scenario right now is that Lonzo Ball will not play after the 2022-23 season.
His last game was 1 year ago, an update will take place on All-Star Weekend, but nothing is guaranteed right now.
A more detailed investigation will be conducted this summer. pic.twitter.com/zsCojOZ0JJ
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
🚨 Ayo Dosunmu will be a free agent this summer and will be an overtime priority for the Bulls.
A true Draft steal (38th pick), his style of play, role and potential are unanimous in Chicago.
Price remains to be seen, but Ayo should be extended this summer. pic.twitter.com/WSiovVWQ7v
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
🚨 Currently, the Wizards are certain to extend Kyle Kuzma this summer.
It’s Rui Hachimura who should pick up the door at the deadline, but Kuzma could soon agree to a deal with the franchise to send him a July 1 extension. pic.twitter.com/PQZCqr0gd0
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
🚨 Will Barton is available, Wizards look to bolster point guard position.
Currently, Barton is out of Washington’s rotation, and his profile could help the bench in the second half of the season.
The Wizards are exploring all their options, aggressive management. pic.twitter.com/heGPHsA8F1
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
🚨 Currently only Darius Bazley is subject to transfer, Thunder side.
Sam Presti would be on the lookout for a workforce that is in great shape.
The addition of Chet Holmgren this summer gives plenty of hope, with no desire to break up the group. pic.twitter.com/GUpTKrX3Im
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
🚨 Furkan Gorkhmaz would definitely be transferred in 3 weeks, but to which team?
The sniper, whose playing time is declining, ranks ahead of Jaden Springer and Matisse Thybulle on the list of the most talked about players around Philadelphia.
Looks like a safe trade for Furkan. pic.twitter.com/8dHycr5241
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
🚨 Aside from Naz Reid and D’Angelo Russell, there’s no competition around the Wolves right now.
Many teams want to re-sign Naz Reid this summer, we’re talking 8-12 million per year.
Wolves are not interested in trading Kyle Lowry.
The lineup is probably intact at 9. pic.twitter.com/RFcI6mbBXX
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
🚨 Warriors don’t want to sign James Wiseman, Moses Moody or Jonathan Kuminga.
Despite the pressure of the recent debate surrounding Wiseman, Bob Myers and Golden State management are unwilling to part with the young center at the trade deadline. pic.twitter.com/GhyBtd0zrA
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
🚨 JaMychal Green is the most traded Warriors player through February 9th.
Either improving the defense on the sidelines, the No. 1 priority in Golden State right now, or letting Anthony Lamb have a guaranteed contract spot. pic.twitter.com/AuYHe24Cji
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
🚨 No fire around the Hornets today, but it should pick up speed on February 9th.
Jalen McDaniels is currently ahead of Terry Rozier in the most discussions.
Mason Plumlee and Kelly Oubre (injured) come later in the rumor mill after the first 2 mentioned. pic.twitter.com/XrPyMSXkyv
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
🚨 Mike Conley and the Wolves were also mentioned in the Clippers’ priority sights.
Minnesota is unfortunately short on future picks…already worked with Utah this summer around the Rudy Gobert trade.
Same with the Clippers, with the Paul George trade. Complex. pic.twitter.com/W6TiELkgpP
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
🚨 Utah has been the most aggressive franchise in the John Collins case for weeks.
The Jazz would force the Hawks’ hand to add a draft pick to collect Collins’ salary from Utah.
Malik Beasley and Jared Vanderbilt will continue. pic.twitter.com/uB0yTcHbpR
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
🚨 Gary Trent Jr. will most likely be transferred by the deadline now.
Several suitors have begun discussions with Toronto. Nothing concrete right now, but it’s hard to see GTJ in a Raptors uniform on February 10th.
Who wants some? pic.twitter.com/fT8fvhnrVi
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
🚨 Toronto can repeat the “Tampa” pattern of 2 years ago.
With the second half of the season in a half-tank, the Raptors reacquired Scottie Barnes in the Draft without moving their workforce.
If results don’t change, Masai Ujiri could go that way. pic.twitter.com/OcNU41JxRc
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
🚨 Serious client to watch in OG Anunoby run: Grizzlies.
The Blazers, Knicks and Suns are still aggressive in this, but Memphis could enter the dance strong and make a very good offer to the Raptors around Danny Green + draft pick. pic.twitter.com/Hgt0Knb3UR
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
🚨 Despite Mark Cuban’s denials, Luka Doncic would be asking for help at the deadline.
The star is said to be increasingly integrated into decisions around the Mavs personnel.
Some returns could help him, including the highly anticipated Maxi Kleber on defense. pic.twitter.com/FBNN22VZ2T
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
🚨 On the Knicks side, Eric Gordon’s file would be revived while Immanuel Quickley’s file stalled.
The young goaltender has been impressed enough to release Derrick Rose in recent weeks.
The Knicks and Rockets would discuss Eric Gordon today. pic.twitter.com/H0siNYc6Ml
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
🚨 The Knicks have apparently announced that they do not want to add a draft pick to trade Evan Fournier.
Today, no team is taking a strong position on the Frenchman, waiting for the temperature to rise at the trade deadline. pic.twitter.com/yBQIjCba7Z
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
🚨 The Clippers have traded John Wall, but reviews from other NBA franchises have been mixed.
The Los Angeles franchise clearly needs leadership, and neither Wall nor Reggie Jackson have been reassuring this season.
Average return for a veteran. pic.twitter.com/om2qbN1Q85
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
🚨 Clippers question: who is their third option?
The top 2 is already hard to believe and it could turn into a seismic move this summer.
The Mike Conley rumor looks like a Bucks-changing 2020 Jrue Holiday move. pic.twitter.com/Edld8ubu3I
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
🚨 If needed in a bigger trade, the Clippers could make Robert Covington, Luke Kennard and Reggie Jackson available.
Other young people were mentioned. If a trade allows them to clear the wings and strengthen the leadership, management will not skimp. pic.twitter.com/FvnZtYIAGD
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
🚨 With Serge Ibaka leaving, the Bucks could consider deals including George Hill and Jordan Nvora if the right offer comes along.
Ibaka has mentioned the Nets, Hawks, Miami and even Toronto recently.
Milwaukee needs help at linebacker, not inside. pic.twitter.com/A59rWKtm0u
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
🚨 Grayson Allen has been in a lot of rumors lately, especially against Cam Reddish on the Knicks side.
Milwaukee could work to acquire Jae Crowder without including Grayson in the deal, but it seems complicated at first glance.
To follow closely. pic.twitter.com/0QMGtHB8Mn
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
🚨 The Celtics are very interested in Jakob Poeltl, but it’s hard to see a deal anytime soon.
Boston already has to extend Grant Williams this summer, and Poeltl will be a free agent in six months.
Brad Stevens continues to search for his final addition: inside the veteran end of the bench. pic.twitter.com/wO9T5h4IZY
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
🚨 Is Lamar Stevens available? Nothing is certain, but Cleveland’s latest run could make it happen.
Isaac Okoro was good, Dean Wade is back and the Cavs are looking to strengthen their wings.
Bogdanovic, Hardaway Jr. and Beasley noted, less noise around Caris LeVert. pic.twitter.com/FE50Spfbcn
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
🚨 Jusuf Nurkic file should be watched very closely, trade as late as possible.
Joe Cronin is unhappy with his team’s performance right now, the Blazers need reinforcements, and Nurkic is well-rated on the market.
Sharpe: almost incommunicable. pic.twitter.com/1ojA3lgBaG
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
🚨 The Spurs always have Jakob Poeltl, Doug McDermott and Josh Richardson ready.
Instead, I want to recover from the Draft at all, but the Spurs wouldn’t mind extending Poeltl this summer to keep his value and move him later. pic.twitter.com/VPX2zdvNlD
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
I forgot to add that Toronto’s top priority is strengthening the PIVOT position, which couldn’t make more sense, so if you see any rumors about Poeltl, Turner, Ibaka, Plumlee, Olynyk, and Vucevic over the next 2 weeks, that’s ✨ normal ✨
