On January 25, Beijing time, only about half a month before the trade deadline, the NBA teams are seizing the time to negotiate and strive to improve the strength of the lineup through the transaction. What trading dynamics have occurred in the NBA this past night? Let's take a look at --
Wall has left the Rockets, and the Clippers have a real interest in him
According to Rockets reporter Kelly Iko, Wall has left the Rockets to train in Miami. He maintained communication with rocket management, and sources revealed that the rockets have recently received calls from several teams about buying Wall, but due to Wall's large contract restrictions, the other side is only in a state of concern. Iko reported that the team that was really interested in Wall early in the season was the Los Angeles Clippers, who had been hoping to be promoted to a point guard position, but now their goals before the deadline were not very clear.
Iko confirmed the possibility of Wall and Westbrook swapping, but said the Rockets were not interested in Westbrook, they were interested in disposing of Wall's contract and asking the Lakers for draft assets. According to sources, the Rockets are eyeing the Lakers' 2027 first-round pick, but it is unclear whether the Lakers are willing to put the first-round pick on the negotiating table. The report also said that after Horton Tucker's contract extension, his appeal to other teams declined, and his performance this season was not good enough.
The 76ers have two asking prices exposed, and the ultimate target is Harden
The deadline is getting closer, but the likelihood of Simmons leaving the team has not increased. The 76ers are still asking for a high price, and they want to trade Simmons for a top All-Star or a whole bunch of first-round picks. The Kings and Eagles are the two teams most interested in Simmons, and fame Shams exposed the 76ers' asking price for both teams.
Sources revealed that if Simmons is to be sent away, the 76ers are asking the Kings for Haliburton and multiple first-round picks, and the Hawks are asking John Collins and multiple first-round picks, and asking the other side to accept Tobias Harris' contract. The Hornets were one of the new teams interested in Simmons, but there was no real progress.
Previously, the 76ers had discussed trade options for foxes, Sam Anderson and Siakam, but they believed the arrival of those players would not help the 76ers become a championship. The ultimate goal of the 76ers is still Harden, and management tends to retain Simmons before the trade deadline, and then trade in the offseason to try to get Harden.
The Rockets rejected several offers from Gordon Wood
Gordon and Wood are two attractive stars on the Rockets, and the Rockets have received multiple offers for both of them and have rejected them all. Gordon has shot more than 45 percent from three-point range this season, and the Rockets risk leaving Gordon unless they receive an offer that can't be ignored. Gordon's performance on and off the court, as well as his professional attitude, have led Rockets management to believe that keeping Gordon can serve as an example for young people.
Wood is averaging 17.5 points and 10.3 rebounds per game, and the 26-year-old's interior line is watched by multiple teams in the league, and like Gordon, they also intend to keep Wood unless the Rockets receive an offer that cannot be ignored. The Heat are one of the teams most interested in Wood, and they've been in constant communication with the Rockets in the hope of getting the all-round big man.
Compared to Gordon and Wood, the Rockets are more likely to trade some of the team's role players, such as Theis, Nuwaba and Augustine.
The Wizards are open to trading Dinwiddie
Bleacher Report reported that the Wizards were open to a trade with guard Dinwiddie because he couldn't work effectively with Beal, and on the other hand, the Wizards didn't perform well after a great start, and they were looking to reinforce the lineup to keep Beal. Previously, Beal refused to renew his contract with the Wizards in advance. So far this season, Dinwiddie has averaged 13.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game.
Grant's official offer is not much and it is possible to stay in the team
Pistons reporter James L. Edwards III revealed that there are not many official offers for Jeramie Grant at present, and if the Pistons do not get the ideal offer, they may keep Grant, perhaps until the offseason. So far this season, Grant has averaged 20.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, and is currently in a state of recovery.
In addition to Grant, the other three players the Pistons could be traded for are Frank Jackson, Corey Joseph, and Rodney McGrud. The Goal Rebuilding Pistons, still seeking quality young players, are both likely to be potential targets for both the Kings' Bagley and the Suns' Jaylen Smith.
The Jazz are interested in swapping Covington
According to the famous Mark Stein, the Jazz are interested in swapping the Blazers' flank Robert Covington. The Jazz have always wanted to upgrade the flank defense, and Covington has become their new target. It is reported that the Jazz are most looking forward to getting the Pistons' Grant, but the Pistons do not want to accept a first-round offer from Ingles + . So far this season, Covington has averaged 7.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game, shooting 39.5 percent from the field.
Magic wants to send Rose and Harris away
Also from Stein, the Magic expect to send Terrence Rose or Gary Harris before the trade deadline, or even trade both of them. Stein said Rose is considered a target of interest to the Lakers and Jazz, who have a year left on his contract with the Magic. Gary Harris is on an expiring contract. So far this season, Rose has averaged 11.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, and Harris has averaged 11.6 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game.
The Raptors want to send Dragic and Flynn away
According to reporter Brett Siegel, sources revealed that the Raptors may send guard Flynn away before the trade deadline. They also want to send veteran Dragic away. Improving a team's roster talent through trades is the Raptors' goal. So far this season, Dragic has played just five games, averaging 8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game, and Flynn averaging 2.8 points, 1 rebound and 0.9 assists per game.
