New developments in the NBA market: Blazers are not interested in LaVine Multiple teams are interested in trading Hield
On September 22, Beijing time, as the training camp approached, the NBA trading market began to be active again. What are the new developments in the past night? The Blazers had no interest in getting LaVine; The Raptors are not going to put Barnes in Lillard's offer; Multiple teams are interested in trading for Hield; Alphabet brother may stay in the team after the end of the contract, up to 50%.
The Blazers weren't interested in getting LaVine
According to NBA reporter Kelly Iko, multiple sources indicate that the Blazers have little interest in getting LaVine directly, mainly because he doesn't fit into the Blazers' rebuilding path and goes against the Blazers' commitment to Henderson and Anfini Simmons.
Previously, reporter Kyle Neubeck said in a podcast that the Bulls are interested in joining the ranks of the competition for Lillard, and their main chip is LaVine. Last season, LaVine averaged 24.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists.
Brian Windhorst reported that the Blazers tried to solve Lillard's problems before training camp.
The Raptors have no intention of offering Lillard with Barnes
Blazers reporter Aaron J. Fentress reported that in addition to the Heat's offers, the Blazers received offers from other teams, but those offers were not impressive. "I've heard that those offers weren't very attractive, and the Blazers weren't shocked by how generous any one of them was."
It was previously reported that the Raptors were one of the Eastern Conference teams interested in getting Lillard, but Zach Lowe said the Raptors still won't put Scottie Barnes in any offer for Lillard. Previously, when competing for Durant, the Raptors had no intention of catching Barnes.
Barnes, the No. 4 pick in 2021, is only 22 years old and averaged 15.3 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.8 assists last season.
Multiple teams are interested in trading for Hield
NBATrade Report reported that the Bucks, Celtics, Magic showed interest in Pacers guard Buddy Hield, and Shams reported that the 76ers and Lone Rangers also had ideas. After failing to agree on a renewal with the Pacers, the two sides are working to find a deal. Last season, Hield averaged 16.8 points and five rebounds while shooting 42.5 percent from three-point range.
In order to keep the alphabet brother for a long time, the Bucks will not give up any opportunities to make up for it; The Green Army needs to resolve Brogdon's conflict with the team; The rising Magic also hopes to get a reliable shooter.
Alphabet brother hopes to stay in the team at most fifty percent
Windhorst reports that Bucks star Alphabet is only 50 percent likely to stay in Milwaukee after his current contract expires. ESPN reported that the Pelicans, Raptors, Nets, Knicks, and Warriors are the five teams that will pay close attention to the alphabet brother.
This offseason, Alphabet Brother hinted that he might leave the Bucks in the future, which has caused heated discussions. Previously, US media analysis said that many teams are hoarding assets for competing alphabet brothers, the Knicks can send up to 8 first-rounders, while Thunder, Rockets and other teams have richer assets. Middleton isn't worried about Alphabet Brother possibly leaving Milwaukee, saying, "I think that's a phrase he makes in his contract renewal negotiations almost every year." ”
Windhorst said Mitchell doesn't expect to renew the Cavaliers early, with three years left on his contract, with the final year being a player option.
