The Nets are not actively engaged with Toronto about a trade for OG Anunoby per @Jake Fischer.
Word around the league is that the Raptors asking price for the young wing is extremely high. – 3:38 PM

Puzzling Kyrie is agreeable to play for Dallas (so much for a lone gunman) minus a future contract accord, yet (Reputedly) demanded 2B traded because BK refused to extend services. Obviously, there was another reason 4 disconnecting from KD. Let the active media find the answer. – 3:20 PM

Not sure how real Toronto’s interest in Deandre Ayton is but I was toying around with this idea. Might have to rejig some things pic.twitter.com/bz8XcJPatF – 3:11 PM

Unless Kevin Durant is threatening to sit out if he doesn’t get traded before Thursday, the Suns can’t get caught going down this rabbit hole again. KD in Phoenix would be amazing but they need realistic upgrades at the deadline – 3:00 PM

The conversation:
KD: “I would still like to be traded.”
Nets: “Cool, but you are under contract for three more years. So, we are not trading you.”
KD: “Please?”
Nets: “No.”
KD: “okay.”
Nets: “Good talk!” pic.twitter.com/G0ZGh9N66V – 2:50 PM

In aftermath of Kyrie Irving trade, the Brooklyn Nets and Kevin Durant are having ongoing conversations on the direction of the franchise, but organization has thus far told inquiring teams that they’re not planning to trade him before Thursday’s deadline, sources tell ESPN. – 2:45 PM

From earlier: “At the end of the day, Kevin wants to win…That will be our holy grail. We’ll continue to try to put a group out that wins.”
Will Durant re-issue his trade request? That’s the big question for BKN. Next few days are critical for Sean Marks: sny.tv/articles/does-… – 2:12 PM

Spencer Dinwiddie and Dorian Finney-Smith won’t make their #Nets debuts (ok, Spencer’s second debut) tonight vs. the #Suns. That will have to wait. Seth Curry (adductor) and Yuta Watanabe (back tightness) are both also out, but Ben Simmons is back. – 2:02 PM

Odds on where KD would be traded if the Nets did it, which I don’t think they will.
