Trade Deadline Marathon: Day 31

Philadelphia 76ers receive: Nikola Mirotic New Orleans Pelicans receive: Markelle Fultz and Mike Muscala While the trade to get Jimmy Butler earlier in the season was necessary to increase the ceiling of the team, the damage it did to the 76ers depth has been more apparent than expected, with the spacing on the floor especially suffering. At the same time the relationship between former number 1 overall pick Markelle Fultz and the 76ers has soured, with Fultz earlier in the s

Utah Jazz receive: Kevin Love, Channing Frye Cleveland Cavaliers receive: Derrick Favors, Grayson Allen, Thabo Sefolosha, 2019 first-round pick (top 12-protection in 2019) Derrick Favors’ name is one that is constantly in Utah Jazz trade rumours, and every year it seems as if the longest-tenured Jazz player is closer to heading out the door. Utah have persisted with a Favors and Rudy Gobert frontcourt for several seasons, but it may be time to pull the plug on Favors, and loo

NYK receives: Furkan Korkmaz PHI receives: Noah Vonleh Furkan Korkmaz isn’t a wanted player in Philadelphia. He’s had some good moments this season, yet if the Sixers front office truly wanted him they would have exercised the third year option on his contract before the 2018-19 campaign begun. Alongside Landry Shamet and J.J. Redick, he’s been their most consistent three-point threat. Simply put, G.M. Elton Brand and coach Brett Brown don’t think the 21-year old provides en

Love, JR Smith, R. Hood, C.

While it is clear Davis’ – or perhaps his agent Rich Paul’s – intentions remain to become a Los Angeles Laker, New Orleans would be fools not to take the best offer they re

Daryl Morey and the Rockets have no fear in dishing out a first rounder if it means improving their team in the short-term. As for the Grizzlies, they’d be wise to do such a deal as

With a host of players available including Julius Randle and E’Twaun Moore according to Zach Lowe, the Utah Jazz should look at capitalising on New Orleans’ sell-now atti

NOP Receives: PG Eric Bledsoe, PF Thon Maker, SG Donte DiVincenzo, SG Pat Connaughton MIL Receives: PG Jrue Holiday, SG Ian Clark Almost all the talk in the NBA these days is centered around the final destination of Anthony Davis -- and with good reason! But if New Orleans is moving him, there's no reason for them to keep a piece as big and expensive as Jrue Holiday. So...they don't. The biggest name and biggest contract coming back belongs to Eric Bledsoe. Though this is his

Magic Receive: Markelle Fultz, Mike Muscala Sixers Receive: Jonathan Simmons, Terrence Ross The Markelle Fultz situation has officially hit “now what?” status. Because of this, the Sixers are reportedly open to moving on from Fultz and that he may welcome a change of scenery. The 20 year old guard is currently rehabbing, trying to recover the jump shot that has eluded him for years. Even then, the Sixers may be better off in moving the guard to try to address what has proven

Rockets Receive: Markelle Fultz, TJ McConnell Sixers Receive: Eric Gordon, Houston 2021 First Round pick After the recent resurgence of the Rockets along with the acquisition of Austin Rivers, this trade may seem a little farfetched. However, with injuries to Chris Paul and a dearth of a true backup point guard, the Rockets may take a look at this. Although it’s unlikely, the Rockets have yet to fully regain their form from last year even in lieu of James Harden going Super S

Pistons Receive: Markelle Fultz, Furkan Korkmaz Sixers Receive: Reggie Bullock, Ish Smith, and Stanley Johnson As Detroit slowly slips in the standings, it may be time for a shakeup. After several reports of Detroit’s interest in the Sixers guard, there may be some traction towards getting a deal done. For the Pistons, they get two lottery tickets in Fultz and Korkmaz. With the season slipping out of hand, the Pistons may look to surround Blake Griffin with more youth to try

For the Jazz, Conley is a natural fit. He's a hardworking, team-first player, who's a significant upgrade over Ricky Rubio, and fine complement to Donovan Mitchell in the backcourt. Since he he's a more advanced scorer and a better three-po

For the Bulls, they move on from the failed Parker experiment and attempt to reconcile the Fultz phenomenon. This allows Markelle a fresh start where he can be handed the reigns to try to regain his confidence. For the Sixers, they look to see if their defensive culture can put Parker

Warren would be a relatively cheap, but substantial upgrade to the roster. Giving away a slew of players and a pick should do the trick for Detroit. At 25-years-old, Warren is averaging 18.3 PPG and can score in a variety of ways. Fortunate

Often they can be gotten on the cheap once their original team sours on them, so they offer the best bang for the acquiring team's buck -- this is even more true in the instance of Chriss, who's already been moved on the cheap.
