The Raptors have searched for a center on the market and expressed interest in trading for several centers, including Jakob Poeltl, Myles Turner, Robert Williams, Nicolas Claxton and Jusuf Nurkic.

Toronto has all its first-round picks looking ahead, which can be dangled as trade bait for a potential starting-caliber center. The Raptors have flirted with the idea of moving a first-round pick to re-acquire Poeltl, HoopsHype has learned. San Antonio is seeking a first-round pick and a quality player for Poeltl, according to Marc Stein. Poeltl is averaging career-highs in points (13.3), rebounds (9.0), and assists (2.8) this season.

Indiana is seeking two first-round picks or a promising young player and a first-round pick in exchange for Turner, as I previously reported on HoopsHype.

didn't know about the raptors interest in Claxton.

Claxton would be nice. Always liked him

Hopefully Flynn is a promising player.

Way too injury prone for my liking. I’d rather use the assets to get a guy like Bogdan

depends on the price.

We need to be smart.

If Cleveland wants to give up 2 firsts, they are making a big mistake.

Honestly if Rubio were involved I’d want to make this a 3 way with Rubio coming here. The first can still go to Indiana.

The Sixers have had at least exploratory conversations regarding Simmons with a number of franchises around the league, including the Atlanta Hawks, Cleveland Cavaliers, Toronto Raptors, Indiana Pacers, Detroit Pistons, Minnesota Timberwolves, Sacramento Kings, Portland Trailblazers, and Washington Wizards, sources say. The problem from where we sit on February 4th — the Sixers continue to wait on an offer that either significantly moves their title odds forward this season or blows them away with assets that can help them acquire the level of star they are after at a later date. So far, such a deal has not materialized.

As suspected a lot of this smoke seems to be coming from Morey. I wonder how much of this has to do with him trying to get other teams to up their offers.

Morey is delusional....Harden is disgruntled but he'll act like Simmons isn't disgruntled

LOL I really hope that Simmons stays put because Morey is an idiot. Adding a few pieces to Simmons for Harden should be a no brainer to become championship contenders for the foreseeable future while getting out of the Simmons headache.

Bogdan nothing special imo

[sbsat]

Kemba as a backup pg here can be intriguing!

[WuTang_CMB]

If morey doesnt move simmons and gets no help for embiid in a mvp year, thats a huge failure. East wide open and they could go to finals
