Overview
- Ian Begley reports he has heard nothing significant from either team and says both sides currently view a reunion as unrealistic.
- Begley adds the Knicks would likely need to move Josh Hart or Mitchell Robinson to make a trade workable, a hurdle that reinforces the long-shot outlook.
- Earlier chatter of "exploratory discussions" from ClutchPoints is cooled by the latest update that undercuts the idea of active negotiations.
- DiVincenzo has started every game for Minnesota this season, hitting 3.1 threes per game at 39% with a strong net rating, which strengthens the Timberwolves’ incentive to keep him.
- New York is still evaluating backcourt help ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline, with reports linking the team to Jose Alvarado and noting they are shopping Guerschon Yabusele.
