Kristaps Porzingis and Kyle Kuzma have player options, and re-signing both could put Washington close to the projected $162 million luxury tax threshold, as colleague Yossi Gozlan notes. Washington will have a challenge this summer keeping its core together. Now, however, a Crowder trade for Washington is unlikely since he won’t be able to make an immediate impact, HoopsHype has learned. The Suns and Wizards were previously linked regarding a Jae Crowder for Hachimura swap, according to Marc Stein. Several teams have expressed interest in trading for Hachimura, including the Dallas Mavericks and Sacramento Kings, league sources told HoopsHype. “I just want to be somewhere that wants me as a basketball player,” Hachimura also said. When recently asked if he demanded a trade, Hachimura told reporters, “No comment.” Japanese forward Rui Hachimura, who turns 25 a day before the trade deadline, raised eyebrows around the league. Richardson, a 29-year-old 3-and-D swingman, will become an unrestricted free agent this summer. Veteran wing Josh Richardson is also available for a second-round pick, league sources told HoopsHype. McDermott has shot 41.8 percent from downtown during his Spurs tenure and is owed $13.75 million next season. Veteran sharpshooter Doug McDermott could command one or two second-round picks on the trade market depending on the pick number and any protections, league sources told HoopsHype. If traded, Poeltl’s new team would also have pressure to retain him in free agency, especially if the team gave up a first-round pick to acquire him.

If San Antonio keeps Poeltl past the deadline, the Spurs would seemingly pay to keep him since they wouldn’t want to lose an asset of his caliber for nothing. If the Spurs can get a first-round pick and a solid young player, it might be the middle ground to get a deal done. While the current asking price for Jakob Poeltl is two first-round picks, multiple executives who spoke with HoopsHype believe the Spurs can get one first-round pick for Poeltl, but two is unlikely given he’ll enter unrestricted free agency and could potentially earn roughly $20 million annually this summer. The San Antonio Spurs are considered a potential trade deadline seller in the eyes of NBA executives around the league with a trio of enticing veterans. If Burks remains with the Pistons past the trade deadline, Detroit is expected to exercise that team option with potential extension talks on the horizon for Burks as well, league sources told HoopsHype. Some rival executives believed Detroit could get two second-round picks for reserve swingman Alec Burks, but the current stance from Detroit is that won’t be enough.īurks, who’s shooting a career-best 44.4 percent from downtown, turns 32 in July and has a $10.49 million team option for next season. He turns 34 in April and is owed $39 million over the next two seasons, which includes a partially guaranteed $2 million for the 2024-25 season. While some rival executives believe it could be a posturing tactic, others are taking the Pistons at face value that they want to compete next season with a high lottery pick alongside the backcourt trio of Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey and Killian Hayes and veteran presences of Bogdanovic and Burks.īogdanovic, who’s averaging a career-high 21.3 points, could force a desperate playoff team looking to get over the hump to offer a lightly protected first-round pick and a good young player. Typically, a team like the Detroit Pistons, residing at the bottom of the East, would be considered a seller at the trade deadline, but that’s not necessarily the case this season.ĭespite numerous inquiries on Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks, rival executives have been met with a consistent stance from Detroit: It’s going to take overwhelming offers to move either player. However, the Bucks and Knicks have also discussed other concepts involving Reddish going to Milwaukee that wouldn’t involve Allen, so a trade between the two teams could still happen. Given the frequency of trade concepts Allen has been linked to involving Crowder and Gordon, it appears more likely he’d be moved – if at all – for one of those players rather than Reddish. With trade talks surrounding Reddish ongoing, the Knicks have expressed interest in Bucks starter Grayson Allen, a career 39.5 percent three-point shooter, league sources told HoopsHype.Īllen’s name has come up in several trade discussions around the league, including several three-team trade concepts where Suns forward Jae Crowder or Rockets guard Eric Gordon would end up in Milwaukee. New York Knicks swingman Cam Reddish has been benched for 25 consecutive games and counting under Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau with no end in sight before the trade deadline.Īs reported two weeks ago in a HoopsHype NBA notebook, the Milwaukee Bucks were one of several teams to express interest in trading for Reddish.
