NBA market news: Paul's injury does not affect the trade Lakers cut two cuts and one sign overnight, and six people lost their jobs
On January 7th, Beijing time, the latest NBA market dynamics came, the Raptors received a number of offers about Sika, but Sika is likely to renew his contract to stay with the team; Paul's injury does not affect the prospect of the trade, and the Warriors suggested that the Warriors trade Paul in exchange for two Nets generals; the Warriors Kings may recruit LaVine; the Lakers cut two cuts and one sign, cut Foxy Hodge to sign Vindler; the Trail Blazers Kings Nets also laid off employees, and six people lost their jobs overnight.
Sika is likely to sign a four-year, up to $200 million contract extension with the Raptors
According to Raptors reporter Josh Lewenberg, the Raptors have stated that they will not consider an offer centered on draft picks for the Siakam trade, and they want to get a similar return to the Anunoby trade, and the Raptors have received some offers, but they want young players with potential.
The Raptors are still likely to opt for a contract extension with Siakam, and the reporter said: Don't be sure that Sika will be traded right now, everything is uncertain. With a month to go until the Feb. 9 trade deadline, many are looking forward to an ending, whether it's a trade or a contract extension. I wouldn't be surprised if the Raptors offer a contract extension, it's not over yet, and there's a good chance that the two sides will reach a contract extension.
At present, the Raptors have not made an offer for a contract extension with Sika, and the two sides have not begun negotiations. Siakam has $37.89 million left on his contract, and he will become a free agent this summer, and he can sign a four-year contract extension with the Raptors for up to about $200 million by the end of June.
The Athletic said the injury will not affect Paul's trade value
ClutchPoints reporter Brett Siegel made a trade proposal to the Warriors, saying: If I were the management of the Warriors, I would call the Nets and ask if Dinwiddie and Royce O'Neale could be traded. The two veterans' contracts are expiring, and they will greatly improve the depth of the Warriors' roster. From my point of view, I think it makes sense to trade Paul/Kuminga for Dinwiddie/O'Neal.
As for Paul's prospects, Warriors reporter Marcus Thompson said that Paul is one of the Warriors' best trade chips because his $30 million contract is expiring. Even if Paul played well with the Warriors, the Warriors would still consider trading him if any other team wanted to get him. Also, injuries could keep Paul out until the trade deadline, but that doesn't affect Paul's trade value.
And the possibility is that the team that wants Paul will be interested in his expiring contract, as it could free up future salary space for the team. The teams that want Paul's instant power don't have enough leverage to match Paul's $30 million contract.
If the Warriors decide to trade Paul, the most likely scenario is that Paul will be traded to a team that wants future salary space. That team could consider buying out Paul, making him a free agent, and joining the next home of their choice.
The Warrior King may become LaVine's next dark horse
Bulls reporter Joe Cowley reports that the Kings and Warriors should keep an eye on the LaVine trade, as they both struggle with consistency and roster selection, and there will always be unforeseen injuries that can come their way to a team that is eager to make the playoffs. In other words, the market, which is currently quiet, could become very lively tomorrow or in the coming weeks.
Shams reported that the Kings were actively pursuing Siakam, and after some negotiations, the Kings withdrew from the Siakam race, and now the Bulls reporter has revealed that both the Kings and the Warriors could become LaVine's next home.
The Lakers cut two and made one sign
According to Dave McMenamin of The Athletic, the Lakers cut Alexander Fuch and Hodge and then signed Dylan Windler, a swingman for the Westchester Knicks, a Knicks-affiliated development league team, on a two-way contract, who joined the Lakers after slashing 23 points and 33 rebounds in a single game in the G League.
