Some noise out there today that Chicago might be asking for more than expected for Andre Drummond at the deadline, maybe even keeping him.
Might be smoke — has been out of the Bulls rotation at times — but something to keep in mind with his name coming up as a Sixers possibility – 1:12 PM

MIA has traded D. Dedmon and a ’28 2nd to SAS in exchange for the minimum amount of Cash required to execute a trade ($110K).
MIA was $200K < the tax and are now $4.9M < with a newly created $4.7M TPE.
Dedmon is essentially an expiring with $0 of his $4.3M GTD for next season. – 12:25 PM

Just months after the Bulls signed Zach LaVine to a five-year, $215 million extension, rival executives get the sense that LaVine “isn’t considered off the table” in trade talks, reports @Matt Moore.

Heat now is $5 million under tax line, allowing them to take more salary back than they trade out in trade without exceeding tax OR fill two open roster spots without exceeding tax line. They had been less than $200,000 under line before today;2nd rounder sent to Spurs is in 2028 – 11:39 AM

@KeithSmithNBA
No surprise Dewayne Dedmon is being traded. That’s been building since that whole incident on the bench. And Miami needed create some flexibility under the tax line. They’ve done that now.
Spurs get closer to the floor, all for renting a little cap space in exchange for a pick. – 11:38 AM
Ira Winderman
@IraHeatBeat
The Heat have traded Dewayne Dedmon and his salary to the San Antonio Spurs for a 2028 second-round pick. The move affords the Heat space under the luxury tax to sign a replacement for Dedmon and another player (or convert Orlando Robinson to a standard deal). – 11:38 AM

2. Sloppy play continues without Jones, Sochan.
3. Remember, it’s all about development – and the Wembanyama sweepstakes.

Another bad 2ndQ for #Bulls, the lead over San Antonio is down to 62-59. Not sure who they think that is playing center for Spurs, but there’s no reason not to score at the rim.

Pop heaped praised on Doug McDermott when asked about the former Bull, saying his ability to move without the ball has made him a “great example” for the young guys: “In addition to that, he is a great kid, fun teammate. Everyone enjoys him. He’s been a great addition for us.” – 7:21 PM

More from Pop on Spurs’ approach as losses mount: “It’s not about, ‘We’re losing these games. We don’t lose games here. We’re the Spurs.’ That’s all bull (bleep). We don’t do any of that kind of thing. This is all about individual development & what it takes to be part of a team. – 7:05 PM
Tom Orsborn
@tom_orsborn
Pop reiterated to Chicago media that character & humor is what has sustained the team through all the losing:
“We do the silliest things that I wouldn’t even say publicly cuz it’s almost embarrassing, they are so silly. But they like it. It keeps them loose, keeps them going.” – 7:02 PM

Any Rozier to Chicago trade scenario must involve Lonzo Ball to match salaries. But that’s where I see the talks falling apart – how can you value Lonzo right now? Yes, you have him under team control for 2 more years, but he hasn’t played basketball in 388 days. – 4:12 PM

The ability to be able to include future 1sts in trades is extremely important for Front Offices when it comes to roster building.
POR really needs to work with CHI to adjust the protections on the 1st they sent them, which currently prevents POR from trading a 1st until 2030! – 12:28 PM

Post-shootaround outlook for two starters Spurs listed as questionable for tonight at Bulls:
