NBA Trade Deadline Rumors: Latest Reports From Around the League
Rumors and reports from Wednesday and Thursday might add even more excitement to an action-packed NBA trade deadline.
Bucks Keeping Giannis Antetokounmpo Through Trade Deadline
Per Shams Charania of ESPN, the Milwaukee Bucks have told other teams they're keeping superstar PF Giannis Antetokounmpo "through the trade deadline." This effectively puts weeks of speculation to rest.
Earlier, a Thursday morning story from Jamal Collier of ESPN indicated that the Bucks "don't feel the pressure" to move Antetokounmpo. Collier added that other teams have "grown dubious in the past 24 hours" regarding the willingness of Milwaukee to make such a swap.
Clippers Open to Offers for Ivica Zubac
According to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line, the Los Angeles Clippers might not be done making moves after trading PG James Harden to the Cleveland Cavaliers. L.A. is reportedly "receiving calls" on C Ivica Zubac, and the Indiana Pacers are "prime among his suitors."
Pelicans Drawing Interest in Jose Alvarado, Yves Missi
The New Orleans Pelicans have made it clear that their core isn't going anywhere at the deadline. With that said, per Ian Begley of SNY, PG Jose Alvarado is a target for the New York Knicks. Additionally, C Yves Missi garnered interest from New York, the Indiana Pacers, and others. Begley conveys that it could take "significant draft capital" for Missi to be moved.
