Here is the most recent information on all the rumors circulating around the NBA. The rumor mill never stops.
Now let’s dive right in.
D’ANGELO RUSSELLAAccording to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, D’Angelo Russell and fellow Laker Rui Hachimura are both possible trade candidates “given their play and the salaries that they earn.”
Which teams might be interested in acquiring Russell is still unknown.
The 27-year-old has had a difficult run of late, averaging 10.5 points and 5 assists per game on 40% shooting during his previous four games.
Zach LavineIt is anticipated that the Bulls will persist in “investigating potential teams” for Zach LaVine, as stated by Shams Charania of The Athletic.
According to Shams, LaVine is likely to catch the attention of the Lakers and 76ers.
Whether either team can provide the Bulls with enough in return will be the question.
DONOVAN MITCHALLDonovan Mitchell will not re-sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers, according to reports from ESPN’s Brian Windhorst. Action Network’s Matt Moore recently confirmed this, stating that it is generally anticipated that Mitchell will leave the Cavaliers when he can become a free agent in the summer of 2025.
Moore claims that in addition to the Knicks, who attempted to acquire Mitchell prior to the 2022–2023 season but were unsuccessful in doing so, the Nets may also be interested in the player.
IMMANUEL QUICKLY
Quickley’s future with the Knicks was soon up for discussion after the team was unable to reach a rookie extension agreement during the offseason.
Due to the Knicks’ abundance of wings and guards on the roster, the young guard’s average playing time has also decreased from 28.9 minutes per game to 24.2 this season.
Before the trade deadline, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports that “teams around the league are waiting to see how the Knicks handle Quickley.”
OG Anunoby and Pascal SiakamPascal Siakam and OG Anunoby are expected to attract interest from the Hawks, Kings, and Pacers, with Shams predicting that Siakam will be traded more frequently than Anunoby.
All indications point to the Raptors wanting to completely rebuild around Scottie Barnes at some point, as they view him as their franchise player of the future.
