They could actually do John Collins (ending contract), Bogi (team option next year) and Kobe Brown for MPJ+Cam Thomas and the can supertank and clear an additional $40M in cap space next year. Only kills about 900k in their remaining space.

The Mavericks are officially open to trade calls on Anthony Davis, Klay Thompson and Daniel Gafford, per @ShamsCharania.

The final step in Trae Young talks between the Hawks and Wizards is draft compensation, as both teams believe they need to receive some sort of additional assets.

Talks are ongoing and the framework is there. Draft picks are the final step.

Wild the Wizards might get the better player AND more picks in exchange for taking him.

Yeah... but who wants Ja? The immaturity, the injury issues, etc. Going to have to sell low. And should probably sell JJJ, too.

Sources: New Orleans Pelicans are disappointing the market in informing teams that Zion Williamson, Trey Murphy, Herb Jones, Derik Queen and Jeremiah Fears will remain with the organization past Feb. 5 trade deadline.

— Chris Haynes (@ChrisBHaynes) January 9, 2026

They would still move Zion in a minute if they got something useful.

No one wants to give 2 unprotected firsts for Herb or 4 for Trey.

This has been my perspective in chatting with Grizzlies fans.

I see him as similar to the oft-injured, overpaid still with the Wizards John Wall when they were trying to deal him, and that was an easier trade market.

My expectations are extremely low for the return on any Ja deal because I keep looking at it from the other team's perspective (said in a Russillo voice): "Why should we send you something of value for your problem asset?"



A petulant James Harden did get value when wanting out of Houston, perhaps there is that.

Wonder if the Hawks will give up the Pelicans pick for JJJ now that AD is off the table.


JJJ can be traded on Jan 13th and Kristaps + picks straight up works.
