The Brooklyn Nets are asking for two first-round picks in a deal for Dorian Finney-Smith, sources told Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.

The Mavs, Heat, and Sixers have previously registered interest in Finney-Smith.

Finney-Smith is averaging 10.8 points and 5.5 rebounds on the season.

The Nets are also reportedly looking for a protected first-round pick for Royce O’Neale.

The Atlanta Hawks are continuing to monitor Pascal Siakam's situation with the Toronto Raptors, sources told Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.

The Hawks reportedly attempted to trade for Siakam last summer, with DeAndre Hunter part of a potential trade.

The Hawks could also use Clint Capela and Patty Mills' $6.8 million salary as trade chips.

Siakam is averaging 19.8 points and 7.0 rebounds per game this season.

Multiple teams are interested in acquiring Gordon Hayward, sources told Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.

The Hornets are currently focused on competing for a playoff spot with Hayward.

The 34-year-old is averaging 13.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game this season.

Trading Zach LaVine remains the top priority for Arturas Karnisovas, sources told K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago.

Karnisovas is reportedly responding to inquiries for other players by saying he wants to see the Bulls roster post-LaVine trade.

Shams Charania reported earlier in the week that the Bulls would seek Austin Reaves in a potential deal with the Lakers.

Johnson adds that should the Bulls decide to rebuild through trades, Andre Drummond would also draw interest from around the league. 

The Los Angeles Lakers have been mentioned as a potential trade suitor for Zach LaVine. One challenge is that the Lakers can't make any kind of deal for LaVine until closer to mid-December or mid-January, when offseason signees become trade eligible.

One of those players is Austin Reaves, who can't be traded until January 15. Per Shams Charania of FanDuelTV, the Chicago Bulls would covet Reaves in a potential LaVine deal.

Los Angeles would need to trade Chicago more than just Reaves to make the salary-matching work. However, Reaves and his team-friendly four-year, $54 million deal would be a good starting point in trade discussions between the two teams.

The Miami Heat have not shown interest in trading for Zach LaVine, a source tells Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.

LaVine has reached the trade market with the Chicago Bulls interested in changing direction.

LaVine represents a duplication of Tyler Herro's skill set at a more expensive annual contract. The Heat are not interested in trading Herro for LaVine. If the Heat could acquire LaVine without trading Herro, it would create an incredibly expensive team where five players (LaVine, Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Duncan Robinson and Herro) would exceed the $172.6 million luxury tax line for 24-25 by nearly $3 million.

Jrue Holiday doesn't hold a grudge against the Milwaukee Bucks for trading him to the Portland Trail Blazers for Damian Lillard on the eve of the season. Holiday was eventually traded again to the Boston Celtics, who will play the Bucks for the first time this season on Wednesday. 

"I think that they got what they wanted, so I can't be mad at that," said Holiday.

"A warning would've been cool. But other than that, I'm in the best place that I can be to compete against them, which is for the top team in the East and, hopefully, the top team in the league."

Holiday spent three seasons with the Bucks after coming over in a trade before the 2020-21 season from the New Orleans Pelicans. 

Zach LaVine and the Chicago Bulls appear to be on the path to a separation, but a trade is unlikely to materialize in the near future.

The trade market could open up after December 15th when most players who signed contracts this past offseason become trade eligible, "a more realistic target it the Feb. 9 trade deadline," reports Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic. 

LaVine's shot attempts have been down over the Bulls' past two games.

LaVine is signed through the 26-27 season and can become a free agent in 2026.

The Sacramento Kings aren't content with just snapping their playoff drought last season. Sacramento intends for making the postseason to be a regular thing. To make that happen, they are expected to be aggressive in trade talks this season, according to Shams Charania of FanDuel.

The Kings are expected to be involved in discussions for any star-level player that comes on the market. That could include players like Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby and Zach LaVine.

Kings general manager Monte McNair has kept most of his draft picks (the Kings owe a lottery-protected pick to the Atlanta Hawks) to be ready to make a trade for a star. Sacramento also plenty of tradable salary to put into a deal for an All-Star.

In the summer of 2018, Sacramento signed LaVine to an offer sheet worth $78 million over four years. The Chicago Bulls matched that offer sheet, and then re-signed LaVine to a five-year, $215 million max contract in 2022.

The Los Angeles Lakers are focused on "internal improvement" amid Zach LaVine trade rumors, according to Marc Stein of Substack.

The Lakers are one of the teams that LaVine is reportedly interested in getting traded to, along with the Sixers and Heat.

Stein describes the Lakers' interest in LaVine as TBD.

The team is also hoping that the return of Jarred Vanderbilt and Gabe Vincent will give them a boost.
