Boston tax bill drops from $39.5M to $17M

They get out of the first apron

More importantly, they are eligible to sign a player waived that had a pre-existing salary of $14.1M plus

With today's Jaren Jackson Jr. trade, every single lottery pick from a very successful 2018 draft has been traded. That includes names like Luka, Trae, SGA, Mikal Bridges, Michael Porter Jr., Ayton and now Jackson Jr.

Rival executives now believe the Grizzlies will use Ja Morant’s salary to take on bad contracts in order to receive more draft capital, per
@WindhorstESPN
.

Morant currently holds little to no trade value around the league, but taking on unwanted salaries will sweeten offers.

Brian Windhorst says the Timberwolves trade is a 'hedge'

"For Minnesota this is a hedge. On one hand they saved a bunch of money... If it helps them get Giannis, great. If it doesn't help them get money they also saved a bunch of money which is also something thats a factor"

I know the team is really clicking right now, but if there is any chance you could run a lineup of....

Gillespie
Booker
Giannis
Williams
Brooks

You'd have to do it, right?

The Celtics previously proposed Anfernee Simons, a first-round pick, and a future first-round pick swap for Clippers center Ivica Zubac and salary filler, which the Clippers declined, sources said. Boston also inquired on Jaren Jackson Jr. Instead, Boston lands Nikola Vucevic.

Windy:

"What's holding the Cavs up is I'm sure what they might have to pay James Harden in a new contract but also that they actually want to fracture the core 4. This ball is sitting in the Cavs court right now"

UPDATE: The Rockets are pushing to finalize a deal built around Dorian Finney-Smith plus draft capital, but Chicago is seeking either Jabari Smith Jr. or Tari Eason.A deal is widely expected to materialize before the deadline, as Houston is pushing hard to land White.

Just got off the phone with a front office exec who is ADAMANT that Nick Richards, not Giannis, is the real prize of this deadline "Don't be surprised if there's a bidding war for Richards", they told me. "After the JJJ trade, teams are getting spooked"

The Timberwolves must include Jaden McDaniels for a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade to occur, per @TheSteinLine.
McDaniels could potentially become the Bucks’ headliner return piece or rerouted elsewhere for more draft capital.Momentum is building around Giannis to Minnesota

Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu has emerged as one of the hottest names on the trade market. Chicago is drawing strong interest, with the Knicks, Heat, Lakers, Rockets and Spurs among teams making calls, with several others also monitoring as the deadline approaches.

Per source, the Simons/Vucevic trade will not be officially completed tonight, as the teams keep doors open for potential minor tweaks.Celtics used the Porzingis trade exception to acquire Vucevic, so created a new $27 mil exception by trading away Simons.

: "I've confirmed via multiple sources that there has at least been some preliminary conversation between Charlotte and Cleveland. The Cavaliers would compensate the Hornets with multiple 2nd-round picks to bring Lonzo Ball to his brother LaMelo Ball's franchise."
