On February 6, Beijing time, the time before the trade deadline (February 9) is getting closer and closer, and the market dynamics of the league are also increasing, and popular teams such as the Lakers, Warriors, and Suns are also in action. The Lakers have asked the Pistons for Gallinari, the Suns made a 4-for-1 offer for Bridges of the Hornets, and the Warriors and the Pacers and Mavericks negotiated a trade for Wiggins. The Rockets are willing to pursue big-name stars like Embiid.

The Lakers have asked the Pistons for Gallinari

Michael Scotto of The Athletic reported that league sources revealed that executives are eyeing Pistons forward Gallinari, and the Lakers are one of the teams that have already asked the Pistons about Gallinari. This season, Gallinari played 31 games for the Wizards and Pistons, averaging 7.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 15.0 minutes per game, shooting 35.5% from three-point range.

In addition to the news, other developments for the Lakers include that they have added Vincent to trade talks, and the new Lakers signing, who has only played five games due to injury, is expected to return in early March, after signing a three-year, $33 million contract with the Lakers.

Wizards guard Tyus Jones has attracted trade interest from the Lakers, along with interested ones including the Magic, Spurs, Nets and Timberwolves. The Wizards are still asking for at least one first-rounder.

The Bulls' Drummond could be traded, and the Lakers are interested in reuniting with him, and in addition to the Lakers, the Greens, Mavericks, and Suns also want him. The Rockets also considered acquiring Drummond before trading for Adams.

Salary expert Marks reported that the Lakers will not seek a trade for a third max-paid player unless he's a player on the All-Team team, according to sources.

Suns 4-for-1 offer Bridges for the Hornets

The Suns remain the number one suitor for Hornets player Myles Bridges. According to sources, the Suns have said they are willing to package Okogie, Little and two second-rounders in exchange for Miles Bridges, but the Hornets still want a first-round return in the Myles Bridges trade. And the Suns currently only have second-round assets.

So far this season, Bridges is averaging 20.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game.

Cavaliers forward Okoro has also caught the Suns' interest, and in addition to the Suns, the Knicks, Hawks, Pacers and Bucks are also eyeing him for a versatile wing player on offense and defense. This season, Okoro played in 38 games for the Cavaliers, averaging 26.3 minutes per game, contributing 8.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.4 blocks, while shooting 37.2% from three-point range. Also, as mentioned above, the Sun is also interested in Drummond.

The Warriors negotiated a trade for Wiggins with the Pacers and Mavericks

Shams of The Athletic reported that as far as he knows, both the Mavericks and the Pacers have expressed interest in Wiggins. Both teams have discussed a Wiggins trade with the Warriors, and the proposed options are to trade players for Wiggins.

So far this season, Wiggins has played in 42 games, averaging 27.2 minutes per game, scoring 12.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.5 blocks, and shooting 31.1% from three-point range.

The Rockets are willing to pursue big-name stars like Embiid

Sources say the Rockets are really ready to make a move if All-Stars like Mitchell, Embiid, and Zion enter the market this season. Unfortunately, no star of this caliber has yet entered the market. The Rockets will look for ways to improve their roster before the deadline, but they're more likely to make a big deal this offseason.

It was previously reported that the Rockets were willing to package Jalen Green and multiple first-rounders for Bridge, but the Nets were unmoved.
