Entering a second straight NBA winter with more teams looking to upgrade their rosters rather than selling off valuable veterans, no rival front office may be monitoring the sputtering Chicago Bulls’ decision-making closer than that of the Orlando Magic. It was this time two years ago league executives were circling Orlando as the trade deadline approached, and the Magic delivered: dispensing Nikola Vucevic, Aaron Gordon and Evan Fournier across the postseason map. The ramifications of that… Source link

The NBA’s annual trade window unofficially opens Thursday, when the majority of free agents who signed new contracts this past summer become eligible to be moved. San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl figures to be an important name leading up to the Feb. 9 trade deadline. Poeltl, 27, will reach unrestricted free agency for the first time in July, and that uncertainty — as with Pacers big man Myles Turner — often leads to trades that precede offseason activity, allowing a team to… Source link
Read More »Bojan Bogdanovic providing value to young Pistons and potentially boosting his own status in the trade market
Bojan Bogdanovic looks like Bojan Bogdanovic. His hair may be a touch thinner, Pistons blue now drapes his 6-foot-8 frame, but the eight-year veteran is doing what he always does. A flamethrower from deep, liable to launch from 30 feet. Even without an ankle-breaking handle, the savvy scorer can always create in a pinch, bumping and grinding his way to the rim or shifting into one-legged midrange fallaways. Few around the league, though, expected to find the Croatian in this environment, as… Source link
Read More »The dysfunctional Nets have only one choice: Trade Kevin Durant
Steve Nash was dismissed, Sean Marks was disheveled and Kyrie Irving has his fingerprints on dismantling yet another team with championship aspirations. That’s three, if you’re keeping count. This is why Kevin Durant understood this dysfunction wasn’t gonna change, that this powder keg of bad ingredients was always due to explode and he tried to get ahead of the posse in asking out of Brooklyn. If Durant backed down from his summer trade demand only because he had to, what has occurred… Source link

The Philadelphia Eagles aren’t satisfied with a 6-0 start. They want to get better. General manager Howie Roseman made another big move on Wednesday, trading for pass rusher Robert Quinn from the Chicago Bears, the team announced. Quinn has just one sack this season but posted 18.5 last season. He will add to an Eagles defense that was already pretty good. In exchange, the Eagles are sending the Bears a fourth-round pick. The Bears won on Monday night but are 3-4 and in the middle of a… Source link
Read More »The real trade war with China has begun
Former President Trump launched a “trade war” with China in 2018 that mostly produced a series of economic skirmishes and logistical workarounds. Trade between the two nations continued, with some collateral damage where Trump lobbed a tariff, or China lobbed back retaliatory measures. With far less fanfare, the Biden administration has launched a new broadside against China that could do far more damage to its economy than anything Trump contemplated, and trigger unprecedented… Source link

After 26 games, the New York Jets are finally starting to see tangible results from the Jamal Adams trade. New York rookie wideout Garrett Wilson was the 10th overall selection in the 2022 draft and the second first-round pick the Jets acquired from the Seattle Seahawks in the Adams deal. Wilson had eight receptions for 102 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday. His second score capped off a wild comeback win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 2. Wilson’s performance was perhaps the first real… Source link
