NBA Rumors: Pistons Put Avery Bradley On Trade Block, Eye ‘Significant’ Return

The Detroit Pistons have made guard Avery Bradley available in trade talks ahead of the NBA’s Feb. 8 trade deadline, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported Monday, citing sources.

NHL Trade Deadline: Leafs Should Make Minor Move Only, Protect Future

Share this: The Toronto Maple Leafs’ path toward the Stanley Cup might be a little ahead of schedule, but that doesn’t mean Brendan Shanahan and Co. should mortgage any part of the team’s future to win right now. Sure, making the playoffs and earning that experience would be nice, but the Leafs must stay the course in what has been a successful rebuild thus far. Auston Matthews, the 2016 No. 1 overall draft pick, is on his way to the Calder Trophy with a rookie-leading 30 goals. Mitch Marner, the fourth overall pick in 2015, is having a fantastic rookie campaign, too. Former first-round picks Morgan Rielly and Jake Gardiner also are blossoming nicely on the blue line. The Leafs have built a talented foundation

Golden State Warriors (47-9) — The Warriors didn’t make any moves, which is understandable considering they already have the best roster and record in the NBA. 2.

NBA Rumors: 76ers’ Jahlil Okafor ‘Will Be Moved’ Before Trade Deadline

The likelihood of Jahlil Okafor remaining with the Philadelphia 76ers beyond Thursday’s 3 p.m. ET NBA trade deadline appears slim. “He will get moved, I can tell you that,” NBA.com reporter David Aldridge said Tuesday on NBATV. “They’re not going to go into next season with him on the roster and they’re not going to finish out this season with him on the roster.” Okafor, a solid offensive center, is averaging 11.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game this season. He’s not an above average rim protector, but the former third overall draft pick has made strides defensively since his rookie season. The 76ers have dra... NESN.com
