Does this mean Carmelo Anthony to the Lakers?

The Lakers plan to evaluate the full buyout market once it takes shape, but Carmelo Anthony is expected to be among the considerations too, league sources tell ESPN.

11:25 a.m. PT: The Clippers waived center Marcin Gortat, per Shams Charania of The Athletic

Yahoo Sources: Marcin Gortat, who will be waived by Clippers, has interest in joining the Warriors but the defending champs plan to wait until the dust settles to get a clearer picture of what is available on the market.

Warriors reporter Anthony Slater of The Athletic notes that this a play for the Rockets to add pieces in the buyout market, where the Warriors are also planning to be aggressive.

Probably the most relevant Warriors storyline right now: Rockets lining up to engulf the buyout market. West rivals may be pitching themselves to same veterans. https://t.co/croep4c0Fs
— Anthony Slater (@anthonyVslater) February 7, 2019

10:05 a.m. PT: We got action! The Bucks will reportedly acquire sharpshooter Nikola Mirotic from the Pelicans for Jason Smith, Stanley Johnson, and multiple second-round picks, per ESPN's Woj and NY Times' Marc Stein.

— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) February 7, 2019

8:50 a.m. PT: All is still quiet between the Pelicans and Lakers regarding Anthony Davis. Is this all just a smokescreen?

Nearly 3 hours away from the NBA's trade deadline and ... the Lakers-Pelicans talks on Anthony Davis are dormant, league sources tell ESPN. No communication, nor an expectation that they'll even speak today. Pelicans seem content to run out the clock.
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) February 7, 2019

7:15 a.m. PT: The Marc Gasol-to-Charlotte conversations are still ongoing but nothing is imminent yet, per ESPN's Woj.

12:49 a.m. PT: Just under 12 hours to go until the deadline, and we're already in the "Players Penning Heartfelt Good-Byes" phase. Sacramento clearly made an impression on now-former Kings wing Iman Shumpert, and Dallas did the same to new Kings forward Harrison Barnes.

Sacramento...I really can't thank you enough for accepting me in full ever since I got off the plane when I was traded here. For the open arms, loving energy and stories we now share together as the #scores. THANK YOU.#piecedelafoutupie pic.twitter.com/hyhVdt38lC

Wednesday

9:05 p.m. PT: The Wizards reportedly moved Markieff Morris to the New Orleans Pelicans in order to get under the luxury tax.

Wizards will send their own 2023 second-rounder to Pelicans along with Morris for Johnson. Washington officially now under the tax threshold for 2019-20 and thus won’t be subject to repeater taxes.
— David Aldridge (@davidaldridgedc) February 7, 2019

Sources: The Wizards have moved off Otto Porter and Markieff Morris tonight to go under luxury tax threshold --- but have no plans to move All-Star Bradley Beal before the deadlne.
— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) February 7, 2019

It's what it looks like, according to The Athletic's David Aldridge: The Wizards are having a fire ... sale.

After the Wizards’ moves today, there’s absolutely no point holding on to Trevor Ariza or Jeff Green before the trade deadline Thursday. Washington still doesn’t have a second-rounder before 2023. Can replenish at least some of that deficit by moving either/both.
— David Aldridge (@davidaldridgedc) February 7, 2019

That doesn't mean rumored Lakers target Trevor Ariza wants out, at least according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Lakers are interested, but Trevor Ariza and Washington Wizards remain in each's future plans, league sources tell ESPN. Ariza is enthusiastic about re-signing with Washington. Wizards' trades creating financial flexibility that'll make it easier to bring Ariza back on new deal
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) February 7, 2019

8:10 p.m. PT: The Knicks are on "equal footing" with the Lakers on Anthony Davis' list of preferred destinations.

https://twitter.com/TheSteinLine/status/1093341105926668290

With the assets attained through the respective Kristaps Porzingis and Tobias Harris trades, both the Knicks and the Clippers have considerably improved their chances at acquiring the Pelicans' star.

7:31 p.m. PT: The Kings reportedly weren't done.

The Kings are trading Justin Jackson and Zach Randolph to the Mavericks for Harrison Barnes, league sources tell ESPN.
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) February 7, 2019

The Kings want to make a long-term play to keep Barnes, who has a player-option on his $25M deal for the 2019-20, sources tell ESPN. https://t.co/teCw98MfAY
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) February 7, 2019

Barnes returns to Northern California, after spending the first four seasons of his career with the Warriors.

5:05 p.m. PT: The Sacramento Kings, Houston Rockets and Cleveland Cavaliers have agreed to a three-team trade that will send Iman Shumpert to Houston, Alec Burks and a second-round pick to Sacramento, and Brandon Knight, Marquese Chriss and a protected first-round pick to Cleveland.

I can confirm that Iman Shumpert has been traded to the Rockets. Alec Burks and a second round pick to Kings.

— James Ham (@James_HamNBCS) February 7, 2019

This represents the first of possibly several moves the Kings make in what should be a busy trade deadline.

4:46 p.m. PT: Otto Porter, Jr. reportedly is leaving one franchise dwelling in the Eastern Conference cellar ... and headed to another. The Chicago Bulls reportedly acquired the Georgetown product in a deal with the Washington Wizards, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.

The Washington Wizards are sending Otto Porter to the Chicago Bulls for Bobby Portis and Jabari Parker, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @WatchStadium.
— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) February 7, 2019

The Kings had been linked to Porter, but they'll have to turn elsewhere by tomorrow's deadline.

4:19 p.m. PT: The Lakers reportedly have a back-up plan if they don't ultimately land Anthony Davis, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Lakers “plan B” if they don’t acquire Anthony Davis is to try and convince Klay Thompson to sign with them for slightly less than the max this off-season, per Woj.
— Hoop Central (@TheHoopCentral) February 6, 2019

That would be the same Klay Thompson, who Wojnarowski's colleague Zach Lowe reported has no interest in taking a discount. In the words of their colleague Stephen A. Smith: Good luck!

3:18 p.m. PT: Marc Gasol's 11-year run with the Grizzlies could be coming to an end and it looks like they're making sure he stays healthy, as The Athletic's Shams Charania reports.

Sources: As active discussions continue between Grizzlies and Hornets, Marc Gasol did not travel with Memphis on their trip to Oklahoma City.
— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) February 6, 2019
