Do you feel it, this wind which blows more and more strongly? Yes yes that’s right, we are talking about the Ben Simmons case is far from resolved”>NBA Trade Deadline, which will sound its buzzer on February 10 and before which a package of moves should be made in the NBA. It’s getting hot, so we’re giving you a big morning update, just to be up to date.
???? The inclusion of Tobias Harris in recent transfer rumors is not trivial.
More and more executives within the League believe the Sixers are doing whatever it takes to sign James Harden this summer.

???? If a sign and trade scenario exists this summer between Nets and Sixers to trade Harden and Simmons, we are far from it.
But it also explains the patience game of the Sixers, who want to see how this summer will turn out for several stars (Lillard, Beal, Harden).

???? The Ben Simmons clan has in any case been very clear: the player will no longer wear the Sixers jersey.
The franchise tried to convince him to play him again but Simmons’ agency and his representatives remained firm, Simmons replaying in the NBA but elsewhere than in Philly. pic.twitter.com/ZeLKwlZIuv

???? Several executives are keeping a close eye on the Grizzlies’ plans this summer.
With 3 Draft 2022 picks, salary margin and a jump in the Top 4 of the West, some see Memphis making the poker move made by the Warriors in 2014 who signed Iguodala. pic.twitter.com/o1IlChdbNH

???? Observers around Jazz say the end of the month will be the litmus test before the deadline.
Matches against the Top 3 of the West, the management will know better how his team holds up against the elite.
Ingles and Bogdanovic still available, need wing defense. pic.twitter.com/Bg1WTRLrCr

???? The Cavs, Mavs and Knicks looked into the Dennis Schroder case recently.
Three teams in need of additional creation, Schroder is on a single year of contract and can boost any bench of a team more competitive than the Celtics. pic.twitter.com/UWTOiQOeKn

???? Dennis Schroder, Juancho Hernangomez and Aaron Nesmith are the 3 most discussed players around Boston before the trade deadline.
Need to fine-tune finances, and Nesmith left Ime Udoka’s rotation. Even after Covid, the full-back seems out of the manager’s plans. pic.twitter.com/2DfOwPnbi2

???? The return of Phoenix executives should accelerate rumors around the Suns.
Apparently, management has been in the kitchen for the past few days to (1) boost the back lines or (2) get Thaddeus Young.

???? The latest update on Myles Turner: Portland has accelerated its discussions, Dallas too.
Minnesota and Charlotte were also mentioned, the battle is tough to recover Turner who has very little chance of still being in Indiana on February 11. pic.twitter.com/z71mB3yCZH

???? No major moves coming to Dallas, but competitors are watching three files closely: Jalen Brunson, Dorian Finney-Smith and Tim Hardaway Jr.
Nothing specific for the moment, the first 2 will be free agents this summer, Dallas just wants to cement his group. pic.twitter.com/iIxEZHQSD8

???? Most anticipated player on this trade deadline 2022, Jerami Grant is discussed in more than 12 franchises.
Recently, Troy Weaver leaked that he might not trade Grant by the deadline… which could up the ante around Jerami.

???? Still no buyout planned for John Wall with the Rockets.
The biggest probability: that his contract drags out until this summer… and that he activates his $47 million player option for the 2022-23 NBA season.
Literally untransferable today. pic.twitter.com/BNOKnDd1EO

???? The competition is monitoring the Clippers’ intentions at the deadline.
Los Angeles has no pick for the 2022 Draft, and parting with Serge Ibaka or Justise Winslow would represent a significant saving for the franchise.
Teams are interested in both profiles. pic.twitter.com/iEHKRP3ihu

???? Sam Presti and the Thunder recalled that they were ready to accept “balloon” contracts at the deadline, provided they attach Draft picks.
OKC pays only 49 million dollars of contracts this season, ideal partner of trade.
Kenrich Williams transférable. pic.twitter.com/O5jLk0j8IU
