League executives from the Cavaliers organization have informed me of their intent to get a LeBron deal done as soon possible and the top executive "wants to make a splash today."
Rumors of a possible LeBron deal between the Mavs and Cavs have been swirling for quite some time, the Mavericks felt Cleveland's offer was a "little light" while the Cavs have adamant they are offering more than enough for the 35 year old super human.
I've heard Jamal Murray and Mitchell Robinson have been offered as center pieces in the deal and that sounds more than fair considering LBJ was last dealt for DeAaron Fox and Luol Deng. Michael Porter Jr. could also be involved.
I'd bet on a deal getting done eventually. Mavs needs to rebuild and Cavs wants to get it done.
I've also heard from the Mavericks GM that Dinwiddie could be on the move soon for a solid pick. Mr. Dinwiddie has been playing at a spectacular level sans Irving and is drawing all star noise. However, a rebuild is the best move in Dallas right now and dealing Dinwiddie for a chance at a top pick could be a great move.
Mr Milwaukee himself Jacob has also been dwindling the Utah pick for quite some time. The Bucks are probably the 2nd best team in the league and dealing a top pick for elite production right now could equal a championship. He may be looking to land a star as he's offering Tobias and Covington with the pick as a package. I haven't heard any deals get close but we'll keep you posted.
After making a mega splash for Zion, Pacers GM JonHo is looking to continue the re-tool and collect more elite young assets. We've been hearing the big fella Drummond is available to the highest bidder. Drummond is playing out of his mind this year and is a top 5-10 talent in the league so someone better come strong. Nothing imminent as of now.
We've got wind the Heat are tired of having 3 stud PG's and want to move DeAaron Fox. He's been rumored to move for awhile but Bryan is still going through offers and hasn't found the perfect one yet. Fox is a sure bet to move before the deadline.
The Celtics have been wheeling and dealing this season and recently acquired Jaylen Brown in a splash time deal. We've heard they wanna move Lauri and Dunn as well. I wouldn't bet on either moving but it's possible, we'll keep you updated.
