January 29, 2023 | 2:54 pm EST Update
Mason Plumlee available for a first-round pick?
Mason Plumlee is another center name said to be available for a first-round pick. Charlotte has transitioned in recent weeks from looking for moves to try and revive their season to looking purely for future assets.
The Hornets are looking to build around LaMelo Ball and try and improve the team’s ability to be competitive. The Hornets are looking to only take on assets for their veteran players, essentially looking for no long-term money in a rebuilding effort
Similarly, after years of being on the trade block, sources believe the Hawks are unlikely to trade John Collins under the new front office that took over this season.
Again, zero known interest from the Suns in trading CP3, but other executives are keeping a side eye on that situation in the event that Phoenix — with new ownership reportedly set to be in place soon — decides to focus on sustaining a core around Devin Booker.
Versatile wing Josh Hart is the most gettable, sources say, and their best trade chip outside of the untouchables to garner return. Jusuf Nurkic is thought to be available but would only be included for an upgrade at center.
There’s also an overall skepticism that any offer will meet the high price for OG Anunoby, much less Pascal Siakam. However, one league non-team-affiliated source did suggest that Gary Trent Jr. might be more likely than even VanVleet to get dealt.
Former Raptors player Joe Wieskamp re-joined G League team Wisconsin Herd for the remainder of the 2022-23 season.
