Re: NBA Thread - Analysis, Rumours, & Transactions
The Clippers have agreed to trade F Tobias Harris, C Boban Marjanovic and PF Mike Scott to the 76ers for G Landry Shamet, F Wilson Chandler, PF Mike Muscala and a 2020 first-round pick, a 2021 unprotected first-round pick via Miami, and a 2021 and 2023 second-round pick.
The Sixers get a fourth stud in Harris, and the Clippers get the 2021 unprotected Miami pick, along with the 2020 Sixers pick, both of which will be highly coveted chips when free agents want to head to Los Angeles. As for Harris, he simply has to take a fantasy hit while playing alongside guys like Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and Jimmy Butler, but he's also a huge upgrade over Chandler. Harris will still have some decent fantasy value, but he'll go from being an alpha dog for his owners, to being just a third or fourth option in Philly. Woj is also reporting that the Sixers fully plan on keeping the new Big 4 of Embiid, Simmons, Butler and Harris together, and that they plan on re-signing free agents Butler and Harris this summer.

The Pistons are reportedly trading SG Reggie Bullock to the Lakers for SG Svi Mykhailiuk and a draft pick, with the deal to be completed on Wednesday.
Bullock is on an expiring contract so the Pistons did well to get the draft pick here. The move to L.A. probably hurts Bullock's fantasy value, as he'll now sit behind Brandon Ingram and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope on the depth chart. Of course, that's assuming the Lakers don't trade half their team for Anthony Davis on Thursday, but Bullock's owners may want to hit the wire in hopes of finding a player with a clearer path to minutes and production.

The Jazz are reportedly unwilling to include Dante Exum (ankle) in a potential Mike Conley deal.
Utah's final offer to Memphis is reportedly Ricky Rubio, Derrick Favors and a first and second-round pick, but Detroit remains in the conversation. Conley is under contract through 2021, so the Grizzlies could hold off on dealing him until the offseason if they don't get an offer they like by Thursday.

Marc Gasol reportedly expects to be traded to the Hornets at the deadline.
On Tuesday, it was reported that the Hornets had engaged in "strong talks" with the Grizzlies regarding a Gasol deal, although it remains unclear exactly what Charlotte is offering. It'll be interesting to see if the Hornets can get a commitment from Gasol regarding his player option for the 2019-20 season because if they don't, they could risk sacrificing assets for a half-year rental that probably wouldn't get them much further than the No. 8 seed.

The Pelicans still have not engaged with the Lakers in a serious way regarding an Anthony Davis trade.
The Pelicans didn't even respond to the Lakers most recent offer, which was centered around Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, Ivica Zubac, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and two future first-round picks, and with just a little over 24 hours to go until the deadline, it seems unlikely that these two teams will be able to strike a deal.
