π¨ With the Play-in tournament coming up, some executives expect the trade deadline to begin on February 1st.
The teams on waivers (Raptors, Bulls, Clippers, Blazers) still need 10 days to determine their final strategy.

π¨ The Spurs, Pistons, Rockets and Hornets are currently named as the safest teams to make a big trade at the deadline.
In a market of mostly buyers, these 4 franchises play an important role as sellers. Almost 100% trade chance. pic.twitter.com/6VTFEl4DtI

π¨ At the time of these lines, Arturas Karnisovas is already clear for the continuation of his group, without a major transfer at the deadline.
The losing streak could be a game-changer, but neither DeRozan, LaVine, nor Vucevic are expected to be traded until February 9. pic.twitter.com/NLeHs0Ff9j

π¨ Right now, the most likely scenario is that Lonzo Ball will miss the 2022-23 season.
His last game was 1 year ago, an update will happen on All-Star Weekend but nothing too reassuring at the moment.
A more in-depth review will take place this summer. pic.twitter.com/zsCojOZ0JJ

π¨ Ayo Dosunmu will be a free agent this summer, and will be an overtime priority for the Bulls.
A true Draft steal (38th pick), his style of play, his role and his potential unite in Chicago.
The price remains to be seen, but Ayo should be extended this summer. pic.twitter.com/WSiovVWQ7v

π¨ Currently, the Wizards are confident of extending Kyle Kuzma this summer.
Rui Hachimura is supposed to come in at the deadline, but Kuzma could agree to his franchise sending a July 1 extension. pic.twitter.com/PQZCqr0gd0

π¨ Is Barton available, the Wizards want to bolster their point guard position.
Currently, Barton is not in Washington’s rotation and his profile could help a bench in the second half of the season.
The Wizards explored all their options, aggressively managing. pic.twitter.com/heGPHsA8F1

π¨ Only Darius Bazley is currently subject to transfer, Thunder side.
Sam Presti is in an observation phase regarding his workforce which is in a good phase.
The addition of Chet Holmgren this summer gives a lot of hope, no desire to break up the group. pic.twitter.com/GUpTKrX3Im

π¨ Furkan Korkmaz will definitely be transferred in 3 weeks, but to which team?
The sniper whose playing time has dropped is ahead of Jaden Springer and Matisse Thybulle as the most talked about players in all of Philadelphia.
Seems like a near safe trade for Furkan. pic.twitter.com/8dHycr5241
β TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
π¨ Aside from Naz Reid and D’Angelo Russell, there’s no traction around the Wolves right now.
A lot of teams want Naz Reid back this summer, we’re talking 8 to 12 million a year.
The Wolves aren’t interested in a Kyle Lowry swap.
The squad is probably full at 9. pic.twitter.com/RFcI6mbBXX
β TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
π¨ The Warriors do not want to move James Wiseman, Moses Moody or Jonathan Kuminga.
Despite the pressure of recent discussions with Wiseman, Bob Myers and Golden State management seem unwilling to part with the young pivot at the trade deadline. pic.twitter.com/GhyBtd0zrA
β TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
π¨ JaMychal Green is the Warriors player most likely to be traded on February 9th.
Either to improve the defense outside the lines, which is currently Golden State’s number 1 priority, or to allow Anthony Lamb to have a guaranteed contract spot. pic.twitter.com/AuYHe24Cji
β TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
π¨ There’s no fire around the Hornets right now, but it should get stronger on February 9.
Jalen McDaniels is currently generating the most discussion, ahead of Terry Rozier.
Mason Plumlee and Kelly Oubre (injured) next in rumors after the first 2 mentioned. pic.twitter.com/XrPyMSXkyv
β TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
π¨ Mike Conley on the Clippers’ priority sights, also mentioned the Wolves.
Minnesota is unfortunately short on future picks becauseβ¦already dealt with Utah this summer around the Rudy Gobert trade.
So did the Clippers, with the Paul George trade. messy pic.twitter.com/W6TiELkgpP
β TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
π¨ Utah has been the most aggressive franchise in John Collins’ case in weeks.
The Jazz will force the Hawks’ hand to add a draft pick to collect Collins’ salary from Utah.
Malik Beasley and Jared Vanderbilt mentioned, to be continued. pic.twitter.com/uB0yTcHbpR
β TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
π¨ Gary Trent Jr is likely to be moved at today’s deadline.
Several contenders have begun discussions in Toronto. Nothing concrete at the moment, but it’s hard to see GTJ in a Raptors jersey on February 10th.
Who wants? pic.twitter.com/fT8fvhnrVi
β TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
π¨ Toronto can copy the “Tampa” pattern of 2 years ago.
With the second half of the season semi-tanking, the Raptors regained Scottie Barnes in the Draft, without moving their workforce.
Masai Ujiri could go this way, if the results don’t change. pic.twitter.com/OcNU41JxRc
β TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
π¨ A serious customer to watch in the race for OG Anunoby: the Grizzlies.
The Blazers, Knicks and Suns are still aggressive in the case, but Memphis can enter the dance strongly and make a very good offer to the Raptors about the Danny Green + draft pick. pic.twitter.com/Hgt0Knb3UR
β TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
π¨ Despite Mark Cuban’s refusal, Luka Doncic would have asked for help at the deadline.
The star is said to be increasingly included in decisions surrounding the Mavs’ personnel.
A few returns could help him, including defensively highly anticipated Maxi Kleber. pic.twitter.com/FBNN22VZ2T
β TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
π¨ On the Knicks side, Eric Gordon’s file will be revived while Immanuel Quickley’s is on hold.
The young scorer has impressed in recent weeks, to the point where Derrick Rose is about to be released.
The Knicks and Rockets will now talk about Eric Gordon. pic.twitter.com/H0siNYc6Ml
β TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
π¨ The Knicks seem to have made it clear that they do not want to attach a Draft pick to Evan Fournier to move him.
No team appears to be strongly positioning the Frenchman right now, pending trade deadline temperatures. pic.twitter.com/yBQIjCba7Z
β TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
π¨ The Clippers have made John Wall available on the market, but feedback has been mixed from other NBA franchises.
The Los Angeles franchise has a clear need for leadership, and neither Wall nor Reggie Jackson have provided assurance this season.
Average comeback for veteran. pic.twitter.com/om2qbN1Q85
β TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
π¨ Question from the Clippers: but who is their third option?
It’s hard to count on the first 2, and this could translate into an earthquake this summer.
The Mike Conley rumor is similar to the 2020 Jrue Holiday move, which changed the Bucks. pic.twitter.com/Edld8ubu3I
β TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
π¨ If necessary in a bigger trade, the Clippers could make Robert Covington, Luke Kennard and Reggie Jackson available.
Another youth was mentioned. Management will not skimp if a trade allows them to refine the wings and strengthen the lead. pic.twitter.com/FvnZtYIAGD
β TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
π¨ With Serge Ibaka on the way, the Bucks could consider deals with George Hill and Jordan Nwora if the right offer comes along.
Ibaka mentioned the Nets, Hawks, Miami and even Toronto recently.
Milwaukee needs help at fullback, not inside. pic.twitter.com/A59rWKtm0u
β TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
π¨ Grayson Allen has been swirling around a lot of rumors lately, especially on the Knicks side against Cam Reddish.
Milwaukee could work to land Jae Crowder without including Grayson in the deal, but it looks complicated at first glance.
To watch carefully. pic.twitter.com/0QMGtHB8Mn
β TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
π¨ The Celtics are interested in Jakob Poeltl, but it’s hard to see a deal anytime soon.
Boston is set to extend Grant Williams this summer, and Poeltl will be a free agent in six months.
Brad Stevens continues to search for his final addition: inside the veteran end of the bench. pic.twitter.com/wO9T5h4IZY
β TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
π¨ Lamar Stevens available? No one is sure, but Cleveland’s recent run may allow it.
Isaac Okoro has been great, Dean Wade is back, and the Cavs want to strengthen their wings.
Bogdanovic, Hardaway Jr and Beasley all mentioned some noise surrounding Caris LeVert. pic.twitter.com/FE50Spfbcn
β TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
π¨ The Jusuf Nurkic file should be watched closely, trade as much as possible at the deadline.
Joe Cronin is not happy with his team’s performance so far, the Blazers need reinforcements and Nurkic has a good rating in the market.
Sharpe: barely transferable. pic.twitter.com/1ojA3lgBaG
β TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
π¨ Spurs keep Jakob Poeltl, Doug McDermott and Josh Richardson always available.
Wanting to recover from the Draft in return, the Spurs aren’t opposed to extending Poeltl this summer, in order to preserve his value and move him later. pic.twitter.com/VPX2zdvNlD
β TrashTalk (@TrashTalk_fr) January 23, 2023
I forgot to add that Toronto’s main priority is to strengthen their PIVOT position, which couldn’t be more logical so if you see any rumors about Poeltl, Turner, Ibaka, Plumlee, Olynyk and Vucevic in the next 2 weeks, it is β¨ normal β¨
