On February 10, Beijing time, the NBA trading deadline entered the last moment, which is also the last opportunity for teams to change, and in the past night, 2 more transactions were officially concluded. The Nets are still in talks with the 76ers to ask for chips to be officially exposed; the Lakers are less willing to send Wei Shao away, and they want to wait until the offseason to make changes.
The first is a three-way deal, the Blazers who completed 2 consecutive deals shot again, and the Jazz sent away Ingles who was reimbursed for injury, the specific plan is:
Jazz: Alexander Walker, Juan Hernangomez;
Spurs get: Satoransky, a second-round draft pick (from the Jazz);
The Blazers got: Ingles, Elia Hughes, a second-round pick (from the Jazz).
The deal is also a matter of taking what they need, with the Jazz both reducing salary pressure and increasing the depth of the team's lineup, comparing Ingles' injury reimbursement; the Blazers getting young Hughes, and Ingles's expired contract, which can free up more salary space in the offseason.
Another deal was a small trade between the Heat and the Thunder, which was proposed to send forward KZ Octala to get a 2026 draft pick from the Thunder. After the deal, the Heat lowered their salaries to $1.9 million below the luxury tax line, and Okpala has played in 21 games this season, averaging 3.7 points and 2 rebounds in 11.6 minutes per game.
Before the trade deadline, Harden's future will be in the spotlight, and he has been frequently linked to the 76ers recently. According to Philadelphia reporter Jason Dumas, the two sides had a deeper conversation and a specific offer, in which the 76ers refused to include Maxi in the discussion of The Harden's deal with Bency, and the Nets offered the 76ers a counteroffer from Simmons, Curry Jr., Sabler and Chuang Shen. Today's trading market is watching, and once the two teams make a deal, there may be a series of operations.
Judging from the conversations between the two sides, the Nets are likely to trade Harden, and it is no longer a resolute attitude, as long as the 76ers give enough tempting chips, the deal is likely to be reached.
Unlike the Nets, the Lakers' Westbrook has no team that wants it, and since it can't get any better, it can only choose to stay in the hands. Judging from the current situation of the Lakers, it seems unlikely that they will send away Wei Shao before the trade deadline, compared to last year's offseason, but it was spent on blood, and it is impossible to give up so quickly, at least until the offseason. If a trade is really decided, it is basically James nodding in agreement, otherwise the team would not be so aggressive.
