Overview
- Warriors discussions have included Draymond Green as salary and impact ballast for a Giannis deal, and Steve Kerr acknowledged speaking with Green about his name surfacing in talks.
- League reporting says the Bucks are under no pressure to move Antetokounmpo this week and are prioritizing a blue‑chip player and/or a heavy draft‑pick haul.
- Blockbusters have reshaped the market, with James Harden dealt to the Cavaliers for Darius Garland and the Mavericks sending Anthony Davis to the Wizards in a multi‑player, multi‑pick swap.
- The Lakers are expected to stay quiet at the deadline to preserve cap flexibility, with multiple insiders projecting they could become a viable suitor in the summer if Giannis is not moved now.
- Miami registered interest but was told it is not in the sweepstakes before the deadline, with reporting that a Tyler Herro‑centric package does not appeal to Milwaukee.
