Trade deadline momentum is building around Ja Morant, with multiple teams emerging as serious monitors of his situation. According to reporting from Michael Scotto, the Milwaukee Bucks, Miami Heat, Sacramento Kings, New Orleans Pelicans, and Toronto Raptors have all shown interest in Morant.
In this video, we break down why Ja Morant’s name has become central to deadline discussions, what each of these teams is looking to solve, and how Morant’s contract and availability shape his trade value. With Memphis listening to offers for the first time, front offices across the league are evaluating whether Morant represents a true franchise swing or a calculated risk under the new CBA.

Why each team fits differently as a Morant destination

How Morant would change offensive hierarchy and usage on each roster

Cap mechanics, asset requirements, and trade feasibility

What this level of league-wide interest signals about Memphis’ leverage

January 12, 2026New York Knicks TRADING Guerschon Yabusele & Pacome Dadiet?
The New York Knicks are open to trading Guerschon Yabusele and Pacome Dadiet, sources told Marc Stein of The Stein Line, as the trade deadline approaches.
In this video, we break down why the Knicks are willing to explore smaller, rotational moves despite James Dolan publicly ruling out any major trades last week. New York has gone 6–8 since winning the NBA Cup, prompting front-office discussions around roster optimization rather than a full-scale shakeup.
We also dive into the mechanics behind a potential Yabusele deal—why league executives believe New York would need to attach additional assets to move his contract—and how Dadiet, a 20-year-old prospect who has appeared in 14 games this season, fits into the Knicks’ longer-term evaluation process.
This breakdown covers:
Why the Knicks are open to moving Yabusele and Dadiet

The difference between marginal trades and “major” roster changes

Contract and asset considerations shaping New York’s flexibility

What these discussions signal about the Knicks’ direction post–NBA Cup

January 12, 2026 Bucks & Warriors Interested In Michael Porter Jr
The market around Michael Porter Jr. is heating up fast—and the
narrative has completely flipped. Once viewed as an inefficient gunner
in Denver, Porter Jr. has reinvented himself as a borderline All-Star in
Brooklyn and is now one of the most coveted names on the trade block.

January 11, 2026Milwaukee Bucks Interested In Zach LaVine & Ja Morant
The Milwaukee Bucks are emerging as a team to monitor in the growing trade market surrounding Ja Morant, as league-wide conversations intensify ahead of the Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline.
In this video, we break down why Milwaukee’s front office is evaluating potential blockbuster paths, how Morant’s availability could reshape the Bucks’ long-term trajectory, and what such interest signals about the organization’s urgency to maximize the championship window around Giannis Antetokounmpo. With offensive consistency still a concern and roster flexibility tightening under the new CBA, the Bucks continue to explore high-impact solutions.
We dive into the basketball fit, financial realities, and roster construction challenges involved in a hypothetical pursuit of Morant, including how his playmaking and rim pressure would change Milwaukee’s offensive profile. We also examine why the Memphis Grizzlies are listening to offers for the first time and what type of return they would likely prioritize.
This breakdown covers:
Why the Bucks are exploring star-level upgrades

How Ja Morant fits next to Giannis in a win-now structure

Cap, contract, and trade mechanics shaping Milwaukee’s options

What this interest means for both franchises as the deadline approaches

January 10, 2026 Potential Memphis Grizzlies Trades For Ja Morant
For the first time, the Memphis Grizzlies are officially entertaining
trade offers for Ja Morant ahead of the Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline,
according to reporting from Shams Charania of ESPN.
In this livestream, we break down why Memphis is listening now, what
rival executives believe the Grizzlies are prioritizing in return, and
how Morant’s long-term contract through the 2027–28 season impacts his
trade market. Multiple teams are pursuing Morant, with league belief
that Memphis would target draft capital and young players if a deal
materializes.
We also analyze the Grizzlies’ broader roster context and performance
profile this season. Despite ranking top-five in points per game and
rebounds, Memphis has hovered around league average defensively and sits
in the middle of the Western Conference picture. With Morant limited to
18 games due to injury, the emergence of young contributors and the
continued rise of Jaren Jackson Jr. has forced the front office to
evaluate multiple paths forward.
This stream dives into:
Why Memphis is weighing a Morant trade now rather than later
How Ja Morant’s on-court production and availability factor into his
value
The Grizzlies’ cap sheet, roster construction, and flexibility under the
apron system
What a post-Morant build could look like around Jackson Jr. and the
current young core
Why Memphis still remains open to keeping Morant as a central piece of a
retool
This is a full front-office-style breakdown, blending reporting, cap
mechanics, roster data, and on-court fit as one of the NBA’s most
seismic trade possibilities comes into focus.

January 08, 2026 Atlanta Hawks Trade Trae Young To Washington Wizards For CJ McCollum & Corey Kispert
We break down a hypothetical but increasingly discussed trade framework
that would send Trae Young to the Washington Wizards, with the Atlanta
Hawks acquiring CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert in return. We analyze the
basketball logic, system fits, and roster ripple effects for both teams
as the NBA trade deadline approaches.
On the Wizards’ side, we examine why Washington’s lack of offensive
organization makes Trae Young a natural engine for a young roster that
ranks near the bottom of the league in offensive rating and assists. We
dive into how head coach Brian Keefe could shift toward a high-pace,
spread pick-and-roll system, how Young’s playmaking elevates Alex Sarr,
and how Washington’s length-heavy wings can help cover for Young
defensively.
We also walk through Trae Young’s projected fit within Washington’s full
12-man rotation, including lineup balance, defensive assignments, and
developmental upside for young shooters and secondary creators.
On the Hawks’ side, we explore why moving on from a ball-dominant star
could unlock a more fluid, motion-heavy offense under Quin Snyder. We
break down how McCollum and Kispert enhance spacing, improve efficiency,
and empower Jalen Johnson as the franchise centerpiece. The stream also
covers Atlanta’s revamped rotation, lineup versatility, and defensive
flexibility without Trae Young.
This is a full front-office-style breakdown—cap considerations, on-court
fit, coaching philosophy, and long-term direction for both franchises.

January 06, 2026 Hawks & Mavericks Trade Talks Increase For Anthony Davis
Anthony Davis trade chatter involving the Atlanta Hawks and Dallas
Mavericks is heating up. Cyro Asseo breaks down the latest reporting
that suggests Rich Paul would be high on Atlanta as a potential
destination for Davis if talks accelerate, while also examining why
meaningful traction between the Hawks and Mavs has yet to materialize.
Cyro analyzes Atlanta’s financial calculus around absorbing Davis’
massive salary, how a potential Trae Young trade factors into the
equation, and why league sources indicate Zaccharie Risacher is unlikely
to be included in an in-season deal. With Dallas open for business and
under pressure to reorient around Cooper Flagg, the conversation is
growing louder—even as executives remain wary of Davis’ age, injury
history, and extension demands.
Catch the full breakdown on the Hawks–Mavs dynamic, where things stand
behind the scenes, and what would need to change for an Anthony Davis
trade to truly gain momentum.

January 06, 2026 Washington Wizards Interested In Trae Young
Trae Young spoke through league developments surrounding the Atlanta
Hawks as the franchise and Young’s representatives actively explore
potential trade destinations, signaling a possible end to his tenure in
Atlanta. The Hawks’ internal evaluation has shifted following Young’s
right MCL sprain, a stretch in which Atlanta went 13–9, saw Jalen
Johnson take a major leap, and posted improved defensive results. Team
metrics showed a plus-0.2 net rating with Young off the floor compared
to minus-6.8 when he played, raising questions about long-term fit and
ceiling.
This episode breaks down how Atlanta’s decision not to offer Young a
long-term extension last summer, his looming $48.9 million player
option, and his pursuit of a max-level contract have shaped the current
landscape. League reporting points to the Washington Wizards as a
potential suitor, with CJ McCollum’s expiring deal and additional salary
pieces possibly involved, while other teams—most notably the Sacramento
Kings—have shown no interest.
We also examine how moving Young could dramatically alter Atlanta’s
flexibility, including opening pathways for larger pursuits like Anthony
Davis, and what this means as the February trade deadline approaches.

NBA trade coverage.

January 04, 2026 Bucks, Bulls, Warriors, Pistons Interested In Michael Porter Jr
Per Jake Fischer of The Stein Line, multiple teams are monitoring Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. as the NBA trade deadline approaches. Cyro Asseo breaks down why the Pistons, Warriors, Bucks, and Bulls could all emerge as potential suitors, how Porter’s breakout season has reshaped his trade value, and what a deal could look like from a roster and salary-matching standpoint.
Porter has been Brooklyn’s primary scorer this season, averaging a career-high 25.8 points per game with elite efficiency while also posting a career-best 7.5 rebounds. Cyro analyzes Porter’s fit with each interested team, the contract and injury considerations tied to his $38.3M salary, and whether the Nets are positioned to cash in on his renewed value.
