Bones Hyland is one of the players most likely to get traded before the upcoming deadline, sources told Marc Stein of Substack.

The Nuggets are looking for a defensive option with size in return for Hyland.

The Timberwolves have been linked with a move for Hyland, with Tim Connelly originally having drafted Hyland in 2021. 

The Sacramento Kings are monitoring the potential availability of Matisse Thybulle, sources told Marc Stein of Substack.

The team is reportedly looking for a defensive-minded option at the wing position.

Stein also adds that the Kings are unlikely to buy out Richaun Holmes due to contract complications. 

The Atlanta Hawks have told teams around the league that they are comfortable with keeping John Collins beyond the upcoming trade deadline, sources told Marc Stein of Substack.

Another source is adamant that the Hawks will continue to explore all trade possibilities up until the deadline. 

Collins, the frequent target of trade rumors, has been linked with the Pacers, Pelicans, and Jazz.

If Jerami Grant continues to decline a contract extension offer from the Portland Trail Blazers, "teams are going to sniff" about his potential availability via trade before the deadline, writes Brian Windhorst.

Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports reported last week that Grant has not accepted the offer of $112 million over four years as he expects to make more as an outright free agent this offseason. The Blazers can offer more money and an extra year to Grant this offseason.

The Blazers acquired Grant from the Detroit Pistons this past offseason.

Grant is averaging 21.3 points, 2.4 assists and 4.4 rebounds this season with the Blazers.

The Phoenix Suns have emerged as a team interested in trading for OG Anunoby, sources tell Shams Charania of The Athletic.

The New York Knicks have offered multiple first round picks for Anunoby.

The Suns control all of their first round picks, eight in total, through 2030.

The Toronto Raptors have informed teams they will make a decision whether they will be a buyer, seller or stand pat near NBA trade deadline day, sources tell Shams Charania of The Athletic. 

The Raptors are currently 23-28 and in 12th place in the Eastern Conference. The Raptors were widely expected to be a playoff team entering the season.

Fred VanVleet and Gary Trent Jr. are considered more likely to be moved than other players given their ability to become free agents in the offseason.

OG Anunoby is also receiving significant interest on the trade market.

The Dallas Mavericks are open to trading Dorian Finney-Smith in a trade for a star-caliber player, sources tell Shams Charania of The Athletic. 

Finney-Smith signed a four-year, $55 million extension with the Mavericks last offseason. Finney-Smith holds a player option for 25-26.

If the Mavericks are successful in trading for a major upgrade, it almost certainly would require the inclusion of Finney-Smith. The Mavericks have a high price threshold for teams interest in Finney-Smith. The Utah Jazz are a team who has expressed a strong interest in Finney-Smith.

The Denver Nuggets have been discussing trades for Bones Hyland. The Minnesota Timberwolves are on team that is interested in the second-year guard.

Hyland has been a mainstay in Denver's rotation as their backup point guard behind Jamal Murray. However, the Nuggets have increasingly turned to Bruce Brown to play key minutes when Murray is off the floor, including starting when Murray misses games.

Hyland is scoring 12.3 points in 19.9 minutes per game this season. He's improved his three-point shooting this year and is up to 37.9% on 5.9 three-point attempts per game.

When he led the Nuggets front office, Wolves president of basketball operations leader Tim Connelly originally drafted Hyland with the 26th pick in the first round of the 2021 NBA Draft.

The Charlotte Hornets have made it known they are interested in talking trades for most players on their roster. One young player garnering significant interest is Jalen McDaniels.

The Indiana Pacers, San Antonio Spurs, Toronto Raptors and Utah Jazz are all reportedly monitoring McDaniels and his potential availability. The Hornets value McDaniels, who they drafted and developed as a second-round pick. The Pacers, Spurs and Jazz could opt to pursue McDaniels in free agency vs trading for him now.

Charlotte has also been active in trade discussions involving Mason Plumlee and Kelly Oubre Jr. Both players are on expiring contracts. Plumlee has had a productive season as the Hornets starting center. Oubre is currently out with a left hand injury, but he should return shortly after the All-Star break.

The Phoenix Suns have had Jae Crowder on the trade market since before the season began. With less than two weeks to the trade deadline, Phoenix may finally be moving closer to trading Crowder.

The Suns gave the Milwaukee Bucks permission to meet with the veteran forward. The Bucks have been interested in dealing for Crowder for a few months now. Milwaukee is believed to be the only team that Phoenix gave this permission to. The Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat are also known to be interested in acquiring Crowder ahead of the deadline.

Crowder is owed $10.2 million in the final season of his three-year contract with the Suns. The 10-year veteran asked for a trade before the season, when Phoenix made it known that they planned to start Cam Johnson over him this season.

The Bucks are currently offering Jordan Nwora, Serge Ibaka, George Hill and second round picks for Crowder.
