Discussion between Lakers When Pacers About transactions included Russell Westbrook, Buddy Hield, Myles TurnerAnd other assets are now dead, sources tell athletic Bob Kravitz (Twitter link). Krabits added that if the Lakers added another first round pick to their offer, those discussions could rekindle, but he says they are currently suspended.
Krabitz’s wording suggests that LA is willing to attach only one of the two first tradable Rounders (2027 and 2029) to Westbrook in exchange for Heeld and Turner. So it’s no wonder the Pacers aren’t interested.
As I was careful earlier this weekIf the Lakers want to get either a Hield or a Turner, there is a way to build a deal using Talen Horton Tucker ($ 10.26MM) and Kendrick Nunn ($ 5.25MM) Westbrook’s $ 47MM is intended to pay salaries instead of expiring transactions. However, acquiring a veteran of both Pacers means including Westbrook and requires a substantial package of draft assets.
Here are some trade rumors and notes from around the NBA:
- Bleacher Report Jake Fischer Proposed last week that Jarred Vanderbilt He said he was attracting trade interest The latest episode of his podcast “Many teams” jazz A forward about 23 years old. “I don’t know the number. I don’t really have a specific team I’ve heard of,Fisher said, hit HoopsHype.. “But in the end I (heard) he was the one who received the most calls of all (jazz) players.”
- Given that the team is willing to meet Net‘Sky high and high asking price Kevin DurantESPN’s Brian Windhorst said at NBA Today on Thursday (Video linkHe is waiting for two things to happen: Brooklyn lowers its asking price or Durant withdraws from the trade market. Windhorst showed no indication that any of these movements were imminent.
- As Knicks Pursue possibilities Donovan Mitchell The deal, they write, it’s important to consider what part is left Athletic Fred Cuts.. Not only does Knicks not want to sacrifice many players who can play with Mitchell, but Mitchell alone is not a title candidate, so he wants to retain enough assets that could be exchanged for another star within a few years. I would think. Is called.
