? Knicks want to use Evan Fournier in larger trade.
Under contract (18 million per year), Fournier would be an ideal piece to complete a package this summer in exchange for an All-Star or a large expiring contract.

? Cam Reddish will definitely transfer within 10 days.
The Knicks want a Rui Hachimura type package, they will try to get 2 second rounders in the Draft before the buzzer and if that scenario doesn’t exist they will consider other scenarios.
Look at the Rockets or Milwaukee. pic.twitter.com/NYpsSyT4cL

? The Suns and Jazz are pushing hard to sign John Collins.
Utah has been working on this for months, while Phoenix has worked on several 2-3 team scenarios, including Jae Crowder.
Right now, Atlanta doesn’t want to trade Collins at a discount that could change in 10 days. pic.twitter.com/SNfl9uNbdW

? Rob Pelinka isn’t done, the Lakers still have a trade to complete in 10 days.
The door is not closed for the transfer of Russell Westbrook, whose rating has changed since September of last year.
Pelinka will watch the market until the bell rings, pay attention to the next trade. pic.twitter.com/co1MMmqR3s
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 30, 2023
? The Lakers and Mavs are the teams in pole position in the Zach LaVine file.
It’s difficult to consider a trade at the deadline – but not impossible. However, the Mavs and Lakers are already setting the stage to resume talks to bring back LaVine this summer. pic.twitter.com/DCMyilHqUR
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 30, 2023
? Rui Hachimura should have ended up in Phoenix.
The Suns, Bucks, and Wizards were close to a trade that would send Rui to the Suns, Jae Crowder to the Bucks, and Kris Dunn + picks to Washington.

— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 30, 2023
? Jae Crowder would have a 100% chance of being traded by the deadline.
Milwaukee is in pole position with George Hill, Serge Ibaka and Jordan Nwora in the deal. Phoenix not interested in Grayson Allen, looking for 3rd team to sign him.

? Several teams have contacted the Heat about weighing Kyle Lowry, without comment at this time.
Miami would like to give this group a shot in the second half of the season before seriously considering the Lowry job this summer.

— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 30, 2023
? Dario Saric is ready for transfer.
With great intrigue around the League regarding the Suns’ new owner, he could incite some action as soon as he arrives before the deadline.
If possible / very short: see you this summer for changes. pic.twitter.com/otWfZQ2F1K
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 30, 2023
? Matisse Thybulle available.
Discussions have been intensifying for a month, the Sixers have given no indication that they want to extend him, and Thybulle’s rating remains very high in the league.
Look out for: A competitive team looking for defense and some attention. pic.twitter.com/o1weiimIZe
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 30, 2023
? Josh Hart is currently the most talked about name in transfer talks.
Many executives say Portland won’t be able to extend Hart and Jerami Grant this summer.
A highly coveted player, Portland put several players on the market (package). pic.twitter.com/pQs4HuC590
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 30, 2023
? There are currently no rumors about Jusuf Nurkic.
It mumbles, but nothing concrete at the exact time. What can and should change in the next 10 days, Joe Cronin can (1) solve the Hart case first, then (2) the Nurkic case.
Follow closely. pic.twitter.com/bqdR7Ep3a6
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 30, 2023
? Blazers, Knicks and Suns in pole position on OG Anunoby.
Toronto would be hoping to get a package in Dejounte Murray, but it’s hard to see that coming closer to the deadline.
Option (and likely scenario): See you this summer to continue those deadline discussions. pic.twitter.com/fygd2cIX7F
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 30, 2023
? Gary Trent Jr. has the best chance to be traded to the Raptors at the deadline.
There’s been some talk of a possible extension, but the manual hasn’t changed at the moment: it’s the GTJ ahead of the transferable VanVleet. pic.twitter.com/MmfQeraF6j
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 30, 2023
? Stephen Curry internally recalled his desire to win a title this season.
The final public report on the Bob Meyers-Warriors relationship will dampen the situation 10 days after the deadline.

— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 30, 2023
? Wizards are extremely clear with other NBA teams: No Kyle Kuzma trade imminent.
The recent transfer of Rui Hachimura has been confirmed with this stance in discussions with other franchises.
An extension is expected this summer. Price to be determined. pic.twitter.com/Xr0yh2vizd
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 30, 2023
? More and more teams think that Bojan Bogdanovic will not be transferred before the deadline.
Detroit is in no rush, and discussions could continue before the 2023 Draft with the exact order of the Draft after the lottery to better utilize Bojan in a trade. pic.twitter.com/Yi7w1Q8DIh
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 30, 2023
? Dallas is committed to finding a partner for Luka Doncic.
An interesting Mavs coaster package is hard to find and especially hard to ride. Dorian Finney-Smith was added to the list of potentially transferable players, along with Hardaway Jr. or Powell.
Josh Green: Not available. pic.twitter.com/CN63RWhit8
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 30, 2023
? Look at Monte McNair, a trade could come to Sacramento.
Nothing major, the owners will not move, but the bench needs to be strengthened, especially the defense.
Terence Davis was mentioned inside and in the wings, whispers about Thybulle. pic.twitter.com/JRDKvUJb04— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 30, 2023
? Brad Stevens continues to explore his options to strengthen the Boston racket.
There are still plenty of links to Jakob Poeltl, but the Spurs are determined to get a price in return. Aside from having to extend Poeltl this summer, I’m not sure the Celtics will jump on him. pic.twitter.com/wOhuYAsVJz
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 30, 2023
? Bones Hyland would be available, Nuggets discuss potential trade for him.
For an extension soon, like Bruce Brown, the goaltender could be moved at the deadline to avoid putting Denver in dire financial straits. pic.twitter.com/6OoCirtjbQ
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 30, 2023
? D’Angelo Russell should not be traded at the deadline.
Naz Reid and Jaylen Nowell have been mentioned, but Minnesota would really like to keep Naz and release Nowell instead.
Regarding D-Lo: Will be discussed again this summer, but a complicated file to predict. pic.twitter.com/sY9J0GZXdG
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 30, 2023
? Alex Caruso has the attention of about 10 teams, but the Bulls do not want to transfer him.
There could be more coverage around Andre Drummond, but so there is nothing concrete around the LaVine-DeRozan-Vucevic trio.
See you at Draft 2023? pic.twitter.com/QpugwxGo44
— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 30, 2023
? Hornets want to extend PJ Washington.
Although not extended this fall, PJ had a solid season and Charlotte would like to count on him for the long haul.

— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 30, 2023
? Utah must decide on the finish and raise the stakes by February 9th.
Next up: Jared Vanderbilt, Malik Beasley, then transferable Mike Conley.

? The Clippers want to strengthen their leadership position as a priority.
Terance Mann is currently unavailable, management highly values him and he has been used as a backup.

— TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 30, 2023
? Houston doesn’t just want to move KJ Martin in the 2nd round of the Draft.
The Rockets believe they can get more in return.
As for Eric Gordon, a trade is almost inevitable, his counterpart becoming less and less important with 10 days of the trade deadline. pic.twitter.com/FOrr3XAXC4
