As the trade deadline approaches, there are also many rumors in the league, and these rumors will undoubtedly continue to be the hot topic of discussion among fans in the next period of time.
According to the "Open Air Stand", the Lakers seem to put veteran players like Dwight Howard on the shelves:
The Lakers have little flexibility to push for deals, but that won't stop the Lakers from exploring the possibility of potential deals. Pelinka has Tucker and Nunn in his hands, two major trading chips, but the combination is not enough to get Back Grant or Turner, and some sources say the Lakers have called on opposing teams to assess the value of the deals for Jordan Jr., Howard and Bazemore. ”
The Lakers are a team interested in Pistons Jerami Grant and Pacers interior Miles Turner, but putting Howard on the shelves may also be difficult to really improve the Lakers' advantage in a potential deal.
On the other hand, the Blazers are reportedly willing to listen to Norman Powell's offer:
In addition to being willing to discuss potential deals between Nurkic and Covington before the trade deadline, sources revealed that the Trail Blazers are also willing to listen to Norman Powell's offer. Powell has potentially had a five-year, $90 million contract with the Trail Blazers this offseason. ”
For the Blazers, Powell still has players with good trading value.
Finally, according to Jack Fisher, a reporter from the Open Stand, the Raptors are also interested in pacers insider Miles Turner, and considering that the Raptors are a team with a lot of trading assets, they may indeed push for a deal involving Turner before the trade deadline:
The Raptors can also have an 8th-place record in the East, and the team clearly wants to continue to be competitive in the playoffs.
