Phoenix is expected to trade Crowder, it has been expected since both teams mutually agreed to find him a trade, before the trade deadline. Remember that the deadline is February 9th.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the New York Knicks have traded Guerschon Yabusele and $500,000 in cash to Chicago Bulls for Dalen Terry.
After completing this transaction, New York will see themselves have financial flexibility below the second apron. Chicago plans on keeping Yabusele to strengthen their frontcourt.
In 41 games this season, Yabusele is averaging 2.7 points and 2.1 rebounds.
In 34 games this season, Terry is averaging 3.5 points and 1.9 rebounds.
According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Minnesota Timberwolves have traded Rob Dillingham, Leonard Miller, and four second round picks to the Chicago Bulls for Ayo Dosunmu and Julian Phillips.
The Timberwolves made this move to improve their backcourt and strengthen it for Anthony Edwards. It’s expected Dosunmu signs an extension in the offseason, as he is a soon-to-be restricted free agent.
Dillingham will get his chance to prove to the league that he can play high-level basketball at his position, as many have seen the 21-year-old as expandable due to his limited playing time and inconsistent performances.
In 45 games this season, Dosunmu is averaging 15.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 3.6 assists.
In 35 games this season, Dillingham is averaging 3.5 points, 1.2 rebounds, and 1.7 assists.
According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Chicago Bulls have traded Coby White to Charlotte Hornets for Collin Sexton.
The full trade terms see the Bulls get Sexton and three second round picks, and the Hornets get White and Mike Conley Jr.; however, Conley Jr. may become a buyout candidate.
If he were to become a buyout candidate, reportedly, he would go back to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Leading to the deadline, White was considered a strong trade candidate due to his expiring contract. This season, the 25-year-old is averaging 18.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 4.7 assists in 29 games. For White, this will be his second team in his entire career.
Multiple reports have stated Chicago is not done trading yet, as they are only getting started.
