Sources tell @CBSsports that a complicating factor on whether or not the Lakers acquire an impact player in the next 24 hours is the belief within the organization they could have a chance to acquire Donovan Mitchell this summer. Knicks also could be in play.

With the Jazz trading Simone Fontecchio to the Pistons, three more players on their roster are generating legit interest from multiple contenders:
Jordan Clarkson
Kelly Olynyk
Kris Dunn
Keep an eye on Utah over the next 24 hours to see if they fully pivot into selling mode.

The Cavaliers are interested in trading for Royce O’Neale, per @ChrisFedor ( https://www.cleveland.com/cavs/2024/02/w...dline.html).
It should also be noted O’Neale is good friends with Donovan Mitchell.
Cleveland has won 14 of their last 15 games as they look to make a move to bolster their rotation.

I’ll admit I have no ide if Morris has anything left. I’ve never liked him tbh.
Not saying I like the deal either btw.

It should say something that me, the guy who thinks the Mavs would be better without THJ at all, is questioning this deal.

I can't tell if it's good or bad that all these small deals are popping off early.

It kind of falls in line from past TDL. Most deals happen on Thursday anyways

Thank you for this. Seriously LOLd hard when I read “Hardaway waive” earlier. (Can’t login/post on my phone)
That’s exactly what’s been driving me nuts.

@TheDunkCentral
The New Orleans Pelicans are a sleeper team for Dejounte Murray, per
@ChrisBHaynes
@TheDunkCentral
Acquiring Andre Drummond might require three second-round picks, and there could be a team willing to offer a first-round pick, per

Honestly thinking about it, I'd rather just pivot to Wiggins than pay a 1st or even a swap for PJ
I just don't see the value of getting PJ for a first.
Wiggins is not great right now, he's still averaging 12ppg. He's shot 40% from 3 the last month. I think the value there for Wiggins

Drummond please. He basically fixes exactly what we need...a better backup big and rebounding.

Two friends in the forest getting chased by bear. First guy doesn’t have to be faster than the bear. He just has to be faster than his friend
Morris vs GWill
Who provides more of what the Mavs need? Honest question. I have no idea.

It is 1,000,000 times more likely that Williams will work his way out of this funk and be the player the Mavs thought they were buying than it is that Morris will be helpful.

I was in favor of Drummond this offseason . Not sure I would give up two seconds for him now. Players like him are begging for jobs in the offseason. Mavs can upgrade at center, but they are solid there. lovely is the starter. Maxi and Dwight are the backups and Holmes can play when needed. Not sure I would give up two seconds for a short term improvement

I think "previously played for Tom Thibodeau" is the main thing Tom Thibodeau looks for in players.

They already signed/waived Taj Gibson earlier in the season. One would think that at some point no player from his Bulls days remains but he still has some options. Butler is still going strong. Rose and McDermott are role players. And if nothing else works he can still pick up free agents like Gibson or Augustin.

Would your trade Hardaway and two seconds for the Detroit Bogdanovich? Detroit would want more and can probably get more. Bogdanovich has a player option after this year I believe. I think he would want to go somewhere who is more ready to win.
