The Cavaliers, Bulls and Raptors are all reportedly active before Thursday’s trade deadline.
Well, other than the Raptors being traded for former Spurs center Jakob Poeltl on Wednesday night, no one has budged.
By Shams Charania of The Athleticall three teams may have seen increased opportunity in the Eastern Conference after the Nets traded Kevin Durant (Suns) and Kyrie Irving (Mavericks) to the West.
The Raptors reportedly have guard Fred VanVleet, guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. and forward OG Anunoby available — but none have been moved.
Meanwhile, the Cavs discussed trades involving guards/forward Caris LeVert and Cedi Osman, sources told Hoops Wire. But they informed LeVert about two hours before the deadline that he was staying put. They stayed true to their word.
Finally, the Bulls were discussing guard Zach LaVine with the Knicks, largely because New York was making offers, but again, no deal was reached.
