Markieff Morris joins OKC

Markieff Morris has a new team, according to Shams. Morris has agreed to join the Oklahoma City Thunder for the remainder of the season, a move that will greatly improve the Thunder depth. Morris had plenty of choices too but ultimately decided to join a Thunder team that is 3rd in the West. Good move by Sam Presti (OKC GM) to bring him in.

Thunder sign:
F – Markieff Morris

Kanter joins Blazers

Veteran big man Enes Kanter has joined the Portland Trailblazers for the remainder of the season. Kanter announced his decision on social media, and he will bring size, rebounding, and a good locker room presence to Portland. Fun fact, back in July of 2015, the Blazers offered Kanter a 4-Year/$70M offer sheet. The offer was eventually matched by OKC.

Blazers sign:
C – Enes Kanter

G – Nik Stauskas

Linsanity bought out, signs with Raps

Jeremy Lin is going to be bought out by the Atlanta Hawks and will sign with the Toronto Raptors. This is a very nice signing by the Raptors and gives them a veteran PG if Lowry goes down.

Raptors sign:
G – Jeremy Lin

Ellington gets waived, signs with Pistons

Wayne Ellington was traded to the Suns two days ago, was waived, and is now signing a free agent deal with Detroit. He will help fill the void of Reggie Bullock (now with LAL) and provide some much-needed floor spacing for Blake.

Pistons sign:
G – Wayne Ellington

Boston trades Bird to Atlanta

Boston gets this deal in at the buzzer, trading troublesome guard Jabari Bird to the Hawks, and according to Shams, the Hawks will then cut him.

Raptors trade Monroe to Nets

Shams broke this one post-deadline. The Raptors move off of Greg Monroe, and it’s unknown right now if the Nets will keep him or drop him. Monroe could be useful for the Nets, as they are in the playoffs at the moment. His contract is not large, and he is a UFA next season, so it makes sense to keep him around.

Sixers send Fultz to Magic

Oh My Goodness! The Sixers finally decide to part way with Markelle Fultz, sending him and his shoulder to the Magic in exchange for Jonathan Simmons. Fultz will get a chance to restart his career in Orlando, while the Sixers continue to add solid veterans to their bench. This is a solid move for the current Philly roster, but it’s crazy to think that a former #1 pick was traded for Jonathan Simmons and future picks.

Lakers/Clippers exchange big men

The Lakers made a trade, just not the one we all have heard about. The Lakers traded Ivica Zubac and Michael Beasley to the Clippers for big man Mike Muscala. Muscala is a free agent next season and can shoot the ball from the center position, something that is coveted on LeBron teams. This also gives the Lakers an open roster spot. The Clippers get an up-and-coming big man in Zubac, who can do some things and is an RFA at season’s end.

---

Raptors go all in, trade for Marc Gasol

Wow! The Raptors go all in for the 2019 title by trading for big man Marc Gasol in exchange for Jonas Valanciunas, Delon Wright, CJ Miles and a future second-round pick. The Grizzlies free themselves from Gasol’s $25.5M player option for next year, and they give him a chance to win the title with the Raptors. This move does cut into their bench a little, but Jonas was making $17M next year anyway, and I would much rather have Gasol than Jonas.

Clippers release Gortat

The Clippers have waived veteran center Marcin Gortat. Expect him to sign on with a playoff contender soon.

Clippers Waive:
C – Marcin Gortat

---

Clippers trade Bradley to Grizzlies

The Clippers continue to unload guaranteed contracts for next season, this time sending out Avery Bradley to the Grizzlies for Garret Temple and JaMychal Green. Bradley’s contract is only partially guaranteed for $2M next season, so the Clippers free up $15M for next year by acquiring Green and Temple, whose contracts expire at seasons end.

Bucks acquire Mirotic

While the full details of this trade aren’t quite ready yet, we know that Nikola Mirotic is joining the Bucks. Rumor has it this is a three-team deal, involving the Pistons, Bucks, and Pelicans. More to come soon.

New Orleans-Milwaukee trade will include Pistons and send multiple second-road picks to the Pelicans for Mirotic, league sources tell ESPN.

Rockets send Baldwin/Stauskas to Pacers, both waived

The Rockets shredded more salary, trading their two newest players, Wade Baldwin & Nik Stauskas to the Pacers, and it’s reported the players will be waived. Tough break for both Baldwin and Stauskas, who’ve been on four teams in the last week, and are now unemployed. The NBA is a tough business.

---

F/G – Wade Baldwin
G – Nik Stauskas

---

Rockets trade Ennis to 76ers

The 76ers added a piece to their bench by acquiring forward James Ennis from the Rockets for a future second-round pick. Ennis can shoot the three and play d, and since the 76ers traded away some depth in the Tobias Harris deal, this move gives them another body.

Dallas trades Barnes to Sacramento

The Mavericks traded Harrison Barnes to the Kings in exchange for Justin Jackson and veteran Zach Randolph, though initial reports are that ZBo doesn’t have to report and will most likely get bought out. By trading Barnes for Jackson, the Mavericks saved about $20M, which will help them build around KP and Doncic. The Kings get Barnes, who is a fantastic scorer at times and has a $25M player option for next season. The Kings are going all in for the postseason, and if they make it, expect Barnes to re-sign.

---

Cavs, Kings, and Rockets work 3-team deal

The Cavs, Kings, and Rockets completed a three-team, six player deal on Wednesday night. The Kings get Alec Burks, whom they have coveted for a while, as they continue to make their push towards the postseason. The Cavaliers acquire a first-round pick for this upcoming draft, but it’s Houston’s pick, so it will most likely be in the 20’s. The Cavs also get Marquese Chriss, who is talented and young and also extremely inconsistent, and Brandon Knight, who is simply salary filler. The Rockets get Iman Shumpert, who will provide much needed bench depth and veteran experience, and shooters Wade Baldwin and Nik Stauskas.

---

Pelicans acquire a Morris twin

The Washington Wizards were able to save over $2M in salary by trading Morris to the Pelicans, and the Pels get a shooter that can space the floor. Both players are unrestricted free agents this summer, so this was just a salary dump from Washington, as it seems they are prepared to T.A.N.K.

Wizards trade Porter to Bulls for Parker, Portis

Shams broke this one, announcing the Bulls have moved Jabari Parker and Bobby Portis to the Wizards for Otto Porter Jr (a lot of “P’s” in this deal). The Bulls were able to finally move Bobby Portis, albeit 18 months after his fight with then-teammate Nikola Mirotic. The Bulls get Otto Porter, who was one deemed “untouchable” by the Wizards, but the latest injury to John Wall seems to have changed that. I like this move for both teams, though it’s tricky to tell at the moment. Porter Jr is a long wing who can do some good things, and now will have plenty of playing time. The Wiz get two solid big men, but Parker is expensive, and next year is a player-option, so it looks like we know the makeup of the 2020 Wizards … barring a Beal trade.

---

Suns/Heat exchange shooters

According to Woj, the Miami Heat traded away a big contract in exchange for a slightly smaller contract. The Heat trade away guard Tyler Johnson to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Ryan Anderson. The Suns free themselves of Anderson and get Johnson, who could potentially opt out at the end of the year (seems likely, who wants to play in Phoenix). Shams Charania also reported that Wayne Ellington is included in the deal going to Phoenix.

76ers/Clippers complete Harris trade

The 76ers and Clippers exchanged six players and two draft picks early Wednesday morning, and it works for both teams. The Clippers free up cap space (a la the Knicks) and get two decent draft picks from the Sixers. As for Philly, they now have a very solid starting line-up and have a potential “big-four” of Embiid, Simmons, Butler, and now Tobias Harris. Harris is a free agent at the end of the season, but the early talks are that Philly wants to keep him long term.

PS: Tobias Harris not only made a game-winner on Tuesday night, but he also tweeted this after getting traded. #FTW

Lakers/Pistons exchange shooters

The Lakers and Pistons agreed to a deal to send Reggie Bullock to LA and rookie Svi Mykhailiuk to the Detroit, along with a 2nd-round pick. Bullock shot a career-high 42% from three last year and will bring shooting and floor-spacing to LA, while the Pistons get a nice rookie that can shoot and is under a cheaper contract.

Blazers/Cavs swap role players

The Blazers acquired swingman Rodney Hood from the Cavs in exchange for guards Nik Stauskas and Wade Baldwin. Rodney Hood should provide some solid bench minutes for Portland and will add some playoff experience in that locker room. Stauskas going to the Cavs doesn’t mean much for the big picture, but this does give him a chance to play some minutes, albeit on a team going nowhere.
