2:18 p.m. ET: The Indiana Pacers are finalizing a trade to acquire All-Star forward Pascal Siakam in a deal that will send Bruce Brown, Jordan Nwora and three first-round picks to the Toronto Raptors, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. New Orleans will be a third team in the deal, sending Kira Lewis Jr. to the Raptors. Indiana is sending two 2024 first-rounders and a 2026 first to the Raptors, sources said. New Orleans sends a second-round pick to Indiana.
4:00 p.m. ET: What can the Philadelphia 76ers or the New York Knicks do to stay in contention in the Eastern Conference?
On «NBA Today,» ESPN senior writer Zach Lowe said the Sixers need to go all-in for this season and need to find another player ahead of the Feb. 8 trade deadline.
Philly has plenty of assets to play with: three first-round picks and up to three first-round swaps, along with six second-round picks and $105 million in expiring contracts.
What about the Knicks? ESPN senior insider Adrian Wojnarowski said the Knicks are in the market for a «big-time NBA star» but that move won’t happen this season.
The Knicks traded for forward OG Anunoby from Toronto in exchange for RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and a 2024 second-round pick in December. Knicks center Mitchell Robinson could also return from ankle surgery ahead of the postseason.
3:30 p.m. ET: The Golden State Warriors are in need of shaking things up ahead of the trade deadline, but it might not be simple as going out for a player they like.
On «NBA Today,» Wojnarowski said that the team is open to moving any player aside from Stephen Curry but that the team needs to first find flexibility on a roster that has some big contracts.
«The decision might be as simple for the Warriors as: ‘Among our big-money players, who do we like the least, who do we value the least, and we’re going to trade that player at the deadline,’ and start then to be able to build back a salary cap structure that gives you flexibility and maybe there’s one more run with Steph Curry,» Wojnarowski said.
Lowe called the Warriors’ season struggles «a death of the dynasty» and said any deal has to be geared toward next season and the future to help build a team around Curry.
Among the players who could provide trade value is guard Chris Paul, but with a hand injury that is expected to keep him out past the deadline, it might be difficult to move on from him.
10:30 a.m. ET: The Detroit Pistons are sending Marvin Bagley III, Isaiah Livers and two second-rounds picks (2025 and 2026) to the Washington Wizards for forwards Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala, as reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Livers, Gallinari and Muscala are all on expiring contracts.
5:45 p.m. ET: The Golden State Warriors are in desperate need of a trade and have interest in Toronto Raptors star Pascal Siakam, ESPN and Andscape senior writer Marc J. Spears said Friday on «NBA Today.»
Any such trade for Siakam would likely have to involve Jonathan Kuminga and another player, such as Andrew Wiggins or Chris Paul. As one general manager told Spears, there isn’t a lot of trade value in just sending Wiggins.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski said any team trading for Siakam would have to make sure he wants to stay, since he will be a free agent at the end of the season. A team such as the Warriors therefore would need to consider payroll and willingness to hand the two-time All-Star forward a max deal.
Wojnarowski said that a team such as the Indiana Pacers could be involved, as they have the salary cap flexibility, but that Siakam will have a lot of say in where he ultimately lands.
3:00 p.m. ET: The Atlanta Hawks are engaged with a lot of teams about trading Dejounte Murray — specifically the Los Angeles Lakers, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski on «NBA Today» on Friday.
The Hawks gave up two first-round picks, a pick swap and a third first-round pick for Murray in 2022. According to Wojnarowski: «The chances of him moving before the deadline are very high.»
12:30 p.m. ET: The LA Clippers are one of the NBA’s hottest teams, having gone 21-6 since a Nov. 27 loss to the Denver Nuggets. More importantly, the team signed Kawhi Leonard on Tuesday to a new extension that sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski is worth $153 million over three years.
The early-season trade for James Harden from the Philadelphia 76ers has worked out well for the Clippers, but is the team looking to make another move ahead of the postseason push?
Speaking on the «Lowe Post,» ESPN’s Zach Lowe and Ohm Youngmisuk debate what the Clips could do to solidify their top-four spot in the Western Conference.
The team could use someone like Dorian Finney-Smith or fellow Brooklyn Nets forward Royce O’Neale to help stretch the floor, especially after losing Robert Covington and Nicolas Batum in the Harden trade.
The Clippers have a first-round draft pick that could be used in any deal, plus players such as forward P.J. Tucker and center Mason Plumlee (who is working back from an MCL sprain).
5:05 p.m. ET: The Chicago Bulls are on a three-game winning streak and are in the chase for a play-in spot in the Eastern Conference. Would this recent run change any thoughts about trading Zach LaVine?
Don’t count on it. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst said Thursday on «NBA Today» that if the Bulls could move on from the two-time All-Star, they would do it.
«If they could trade Zach LaVine in the next five minutes, they would trade him and Zach would happily go to the airport,» said Windhorst, who added that Chicago should be looking to restructure its roster despite some improved play.
LaVine is in the second season of a five-year, $215 million deal with the Bulls. He is averaging 20.3 points per game and previously missed 17 games due to a foot injury.
2:05 p.m. ET: The Memphis Grizzlies signed guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. to a three-year, $7.9 million guaranteed contract, including a team option on a fourth season, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski on Wednesday.
Williams — who has developed into an outstanding wing defender — gets the most guaranteed money given to a player who had been on a two-way contract. The Grizzlies waived center Bismack Biyombo to create the roster spot, sources said.
1:30 p.m. ET: What does the future hold for the Atlanta Hawks’ backcourt? According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Hawks are «talking [Dejounte] Murray deals — and others — throughout the league.»
«I think the Hawks are open to ALMOST anything at the trade deadline, but there’s no question that they’ve gone as far as they’ll probably go on Dejounte Murray’s pairing with Trae Young in the backcourt,» Wojnarowski wrote on Threads.
Wojnarowski also added the Charlotte Hornets have no intention of trading LaMelo Ball or Brandon Miller before the deadline.
Meanwhile, is there a possibility Jarace Walker could be included in a Pascal Siakam deal if he went to the Indiana Pacers? Wojnarowski wrote that the Pacers are very determined not to include Walker in any trade.
10 a.m. ET: What will the Golden State Warriors do at the deadline? On the «Brian Windhorst & Hoop Collective» podcast, Windhorst, Kevin Pelton and Marc J. Spears discussed the Warriors’ need for a No. 2 scorer behind Stephen Curry.
The trio reviewed the possibility of Golden State adding Toronto Raptors forward Siakam, Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan or guard Zach LaVine as options for the 2022 NBA champions. The Utah Jazz’s Lauri Markkanen was also briefly mentioned, but the Jazz currently sit above the Warriors in the Western Conference standings.
Some Golden State players mentioned that could be involved in a potential trade: Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga and veteran All-Star guard Chris Paul.
Meanwhile, will the Memphis Grizzlies make trades after Ja Morant’s season-ending injury? The Collective also brought up possible moves for the Grizzlies, including moving Luke Kennard and former Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart.
12:15 p.m. ET: Will the Golden State Warriors be active ahead of the trade deadline, and what kind of deal could they actually make? Speaking on «The Lowe Post,» ESPN’s Zach Lowe and Kendra Andrews discussed the Warriors’ limited options in trying to salvage the season.
While Siakam could be a target for the Warriors, there may not be much of an appetite to give up a player like Kuminga or Moses Moody in order to bring the two-time All-Star — who could become a free agent this offseason — to the Bay.
3:10 p.m. ET: The Indiana Pacers will continue to look at Siakam, wrote Wojnarowski on Threads.
7:00 p.m. ET: The Chicago Bulls might have trouble finding a new home for two-time All-Star LaVine if they decide to move him before the trade deadline, according to Wojnarowski.
«There is not a market for Zach LaVine right now in the NBA, and that’s not because Chicago has not tried to find it,» Wojnarowski said on «NBA Countdown.»
1:30 p.m. ET: According to Wojnarowski, the Atlanta Hawks are open to trades leading up to the February trade deadline, and general manager Landry Fields seems determined to make changes to the roster.
12:25 p.m. ET: The New York Knicks acquired forward OG Anunoby in a trade that sent RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and a 2024 second-round pick to the Toronto Raptors, the teams announced. The Knicks also got forward Precious Achiuwa and guard Malachi Flynn in the deal.
