Warriors Not Making Any Major Deals Before The Deadline

According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, despite names floating around of who the Golden State Warriors would trade for, they aren’t expected to make any significant trade ahead of the trade deadline.

For example, Dejounte Murray. Murray was on their radar, but Golden State will not go all-out to acquire the guard. Their interest in him was described as “tepid at best.”

Their biggest areas to upgrade are at the center and wing positions; players like Lauri Markkanen have been brought up for discussion. If they were to make a trade, it would be a 1:1 deal.

Andrew Wiggins is the likeliest player to be dealt come the deadline; they have talked with teams about a player-for-player trade that wouldn’t include them giving up draft capital.

Golden State wants to build for the future, as their younger talents like Jonathan Kuminga are off limits unless an offer they can’t refuse comes sliding across Mike Dunleavy Jr.’s desk.

Currently, the Warriors are 12th in their conference, with inconsistency amongst everyone driving them further away from being a top team. Golden State continues to want to thrive as a playoff-caliber team.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Minnesota Timberwolves have learned that Donte DiVincenzo will be out indefinitely due to a big toe injury.

DiVincenzo injured his left foot’s big toe, which has been placed into a boot. Him and the organization will seek all options before making a final decision.

The 27-year-old’s injury is untimely, as he was just moved into Minnesota’s starting lineup. DiVincenzo put up a season-high 28 points in their loss to the Golden State Warriors.

There’s an expectation of him returning to the starting five once he is healthy.

Bucks Interested In Trading For Bradley Beal

According to Marc Stein, the Milwaukee Bucks want to get involved in this year’s trade deadline; they will do that by potentially trading for Bradley Beal. The Phoenix Suns are testing Beal’s trade value.

Currently, the Bucks have shown more interest in Beal than Jimmy Butler. Butler has been connected to Milwaukee’s radar for a while now. However, it appears a mindset shift has been made, which means Beal is in front of Butler for now.

General Manager Jon Horst has kept his eye on Beal since he wanted out from the Washington Wizards. It wouldn’t be shocking if the Bucks put together an enticing offer the Suns couldn’t refuse.

A deal with the Bucks could be done; why? Because Phoenix could see them as a third team to help facilitate Butler to Phoenix without Miami taking on Beal’s contract. It’s a win-win for all parties involved.

While interest and rumors are spiking, it is unknown if Beal would waive his No-Trade Clause to join the Bucks.

In 29 games this season, the 31-year-old is averaging 17.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.3 assists.

Karl-Anthony Towns Has Bone Chip & Sprain In Right Thumb

According to multiple reports, the New York Knicks have discovered that Karl-Anthony Towns not only has a sprain but a bone chip in his right thumb.

His right hand is his shooting hand. There is good news, though: Towns is willing to play through the injury. This injury doesn’t require surgery during or after the season.

Towns missed Wednesday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Jericho Sims started in his absence.
