The NBA trade deadline is just three days away, and teams are scrambling to make moves before the clock runs out. The Golden State Warriors are reportedly looking to shake up their roster, with multiple sources suggesting they’re targeting All-Star players like LeBron James, Paul George, or Kevin Durant.
According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Warriors have called about Jimmy Butler, but his name is not being seriously considered due to his current unhappiness in Miami. Meanwhile, LeBron James has seemingly put rumors of a trade to rest, with Dan Woike reporting that he’s unlikely to be dealt from the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Phoenix Suns are also dealing with rumors surrounding Kevin Durant’s future, with insider Jake Fischer noting they’re “listening” to offers for the superstar forward. However, with the Warriors showing interest in Durant and other teams pursuing Jimmy Butler, it remains to be seen who will ultimately come out on top.
In Chicago, the Bulls are still looking to make moves before Thursday’s deadline, despite already dealing Zach LaVine to Sacramento. Bobby Marks reports that Lonzo Ball, Nikola Vucevic, and Coby White are all on the block, but with both Ball and Vucevic earning over $20 million per year, teams may need to get creative to acquire them.
As the deadline draws near, it’s clear that the NBA is on the verge of a major shakeup. Stay tuned for updates as more rumors surface and deals start to emerge.
