Μυριζομαι Lakers

Δεν είμαι σίγουρος. Οι Lakers έχουν πολύ βάθος και επιθετικά είναι ΟΚ. Το θέμα είναι να δέσει η άμυνα. Ο LaVine δε θα προσφέρει κάτι σε αυτόν τον τομέα. Είχα διαβάσει πριν δύο εβδομάδες ότι δεν πολυενδιαφέρονταν .

Οι Λέικερς θέλουν από τους Bulls τους DeRozan και Caruso.

Οι Lakers έχουν γεμάτο ρόστερ και μπορείτε να βρείτε καλά ανταλλάγματα από αυτούς. Κρατήστε τον LaVine και κάντε ένα retool στο ρόστερ.

O LaVine δεν μενει, εχει κανει trade request.
Απο τη στιγμη που πηγε στην Klutch sports εχει αλλαξει συμπεριφορα και το περιμενα οτι θα εκανε αυτος την κινηση πριν τον στειλει ο Arturas (με εντολη Jerry Reinsdorf φυσικα) γτ ειναι πολλα τα λεφτα.

Κείμενο του Shams Charania για τις πιθανές ανταλλαγές των Pascal Siakam, Zach LaVine.

LAS VEGAS — With the NBA’s In-Season Tournament’s conclusion and critical trade eligibility dates nearing, the NBA trade marketplace is beginning to shape up. As the league’s teams near the 25-game mark, the Dec. 15 date for most free agents who signed last offseason to become trade-eligible, coupled with the G League Showcase on Dec. 19-22 in Orlando, Fla., (the league’s version of baseball’s Winter Meetings), creates the unofficial beginning of the NBA’s trade season.

As buyers and sellers slowly reveal themselves, teams are keeping close tabs on the Toronto Raptors and Chicago Bulls. Raptors president and vice chairman Masai Ujiri and general manager Bobby Webster have stuck with their talented core of Scottie Barnes, Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby over the past three seasons. But Toronto has lost three games in a row, stands 9-13 on the season and has left teams believing that now, more than ever, either Siakam or Anunoby could be traded by the Feb. 8 deadline.

Barnes has been deemed untouchable in any trade conversations, league sources say.

Under new coach Darko Rajaković, the Raptors hoped a more team-first, free-flowing style would lead to success. There has been a strong belief in the trio of Barnes, Siakam and Anunoby across every level of the organization, and officials were confident a new style of play would lead to more success and victories.

“There’ll be no selfishness this year,” Ujiri said before training camp.

Teams such as the Atlanta Hawks, Sacramento Kings and Indiana Pacers are expected suitors for Siakam or Anunoby but believe Siakam appears to be the likelier player to be dealt, league sources tell The Athletic. Siakam, 29, is earning $37.9 million in the last year of his Raptors contract this season while Anunoby, 26, has a $19.9 million player option for next season that he will almost assuredly decline to enter free agency.

The Hawks held intense conversations with the Raptors surrounding a Siakam deal over the offseason, as The Athletic reported, and the Pacers and Kings have both checked in and engaged at different points with Toronto over the last year. For the Kings, a better start to this season than a year ago (12-8 this season compared to 11-9 last season en route to a 48-win campaign) provides confidence that they can grow internally rather than compete for the expected cost of talents such as Siakam and Anunoby.

A season ago, the Raptors elected to play through a trying campaign and forge ahead with efforts to compete come playoff time. They ultimately lost guard Fred VanVleet for nothing as a free agent to the Houston Rockets. How will the Raptors’ front office handle two big-time free-agents-to-be this time around?

Around the league, many expect the Raptors to scan their options all the way up until the trade deadline. And negotiations with the Raptors will always be, in the words of one rival executive, “a game of chicken.”

Elsewhere in Chicago, as The Athletic reported in mid-November, the Bulls are expected to continue probing interested teams on a Zach LaVine trade. The Bulls have won four games in a row for the first time since February 2022 and are now 9-14 and in the midst of the postseason race. All of the wins have come without LaVine, who will miss three to four more weeks to treat right foot inflammation, and interested teams are keeping an eye on LaVine’s health situation and his return to play.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers are expected suitors for LaVine, but both are operating from positions of patience and due diligence. And now, as the Bulls have found their stride over the past week and are just one game out of a Play-In Tournament spot, teams will continue to monitor their approach with LaVine and DeMar DeRozan, who will be an unrestricted free agent in the offseason. The Athletic’s Sam Amick recently reported that DeRozan’s preferred trade destinations are the New York Knicks and Miami Heat if he does end up being dealt.

A bevy of teams has been expressing interest in trading for Bulls utility star Alex Caruso, league sources say, but the franchise has shut down those calls. Caruso, whose $9.9 million deal for next season is partially guaranteed, is averaging 9.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 20 games this season.

As one high-ranking team official put it last week, “It’s a gradually developing trade market this year.”

Soon, we will be off to the races.

More NBA news and notes…

LA Clippers

Forward P.J. Tucker has expressed frustration about his current situation with the team, and both sides are discussing ways to resolve a role for him there or elsewhere, according to league sources.

The 13-year NBA veteran has been a key, big-minute contributor across the last 12 years — including starting three games and playing over 22 minutes for the 76ers a night prior to his trade with James Harden to the Clippers — but the 2021 NBA champion has been a DNP-CD in the last five games and has not played since Nov. 27 as coach Tyronn Lue moved rookie Kobe Brown into the rotation to infuse youth and athleticism. Tucker has been professional by helping Brown and his younger teammates while navigating his new reality with the Clippers.

Multiple contending teams are monitoring the Tucker situation in LA. For the season, Tucker, 38, has averaged 1.3 points and 2.9 rebounds. He is earning $11 million this season and has a player option worth $11.5 million for the 2024-25 season.

The Toronto Raptors and New York Knicks are reportedly finalizing a big deal on Saturday, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

OG Anunoby and Precious Achiuwa are heading to the Knicks for a package that includes RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley and New York's second-round pick in 2024.

Μάλλον καλό deal και για τους δύο. Οι Raptors παίρνουν ένα καλό asset αντί του Anunoby (που λογικά θα έκανε το καλοκαίρι opt-out από το συμβόλαιο του) γύρω από τον οποίο θα χτίσουν λογικά από του χρόνου μαζί με τον Siakam, καθώς και ένα backup άσσο με καλύτερο potential από τον Flynn, ενώ και οι Knicks προσθέτουν έναν πολυδιάστατο παίκτη όπως ο Anunoby και έναν ψηλό σαν τον Achiuwa για να καλύψει το κενό που έχουν τώρα μετά τον τραυματισμό του Robinson.

Πολύ καλή κίνηση για τους ΝΙκς, περίμενα ο O.G. Anunoby να πήγαινε σε άλλη ομάδα.

[SteveNashidis]

Τόσο καλύτερος είναι ο Anunoby απο Barrett που θέλει και Quickly και draft picks για να φύγει από Raptors?
Δεν το θεωρώ τόσο win win

[mixalisgate7]

Οι Ράπτορς θα συμπεριλάβουν και τον Malachi Flynn στην ανταλλαγή.

Ούτε κι εγώ. Είναι πολυδιάστατος ο OG και σίγουρα θα κολλήσει στο σύστημα του Thibs αλλά νομίζω ότι το Τορόντο βγαίνει πιο ωφελημένο. 55-45 θα έλεγα. Βέβαια, η Νέα Υόρκη είχε ανάγκη από έναν πολυδιάστατο φόργουορντ, οπότε έχει νόημα η απόκτηση του.

Υ.Γ. Έχουμε μια ελπίδα να κερδίσουμε τους Ράπτορς τώρα που θα λείπουν παίκτες!
