What's the buzz on Twitter?
It's gonna be K.J. Martin, Josh Richardson and a 2028 second-round pick from Detroit to Utah, source says. - 2:50 PM
Not sure which is more ironic: that Jimmy Butler and Josh Richardson were traded by the same team in the same deal, or that Butler was effectively traded for Andrew Wiggins. - 8:38 PM
The Miami Heat get under the luxury tax by trading Jimmy Butler and Josh Richardson and only taking on Andrew Wiggins and P.J. Tucker.
They eliminate their $23.8 million tax penalty and create a $11 million trade exception. - 8:35 PM
The Pels use up one of their few remaining second round picks to get Daniel Theis to OKC and get out of the tax. They've spent a ton of them over the years to dump money, e.g. Devonte' Graham for Josh Richardson in which they lost FOUR. - 2:36 PM
Jazz say Collin Sexton (ankle sprain), Jalen Hood-Schifino (not with team), Cody Williams (ankle sprain), and PJ Tucker (not with team) are OUT vs. GSW tomorrow. Lauri Markkanen is questionable (lower back injury management). - 6:58 PM
Will Hardy said he has not talked to Jalen Hood-Schifino since the trade… which might be a sign regarding the Jazz’s plans with him. - 7:30 PM

Heat rules out Jimmy Butler, Josh Richardson, Dru Smith and Isaiah Stevens for tomorrow's game vs. Bulls in Chicago.
Heat lists Duncan Robinson (right hip contusion) as probable. - 4:50 PM

Rod Beard: My understanding of the cap gymnastics that have to be done is that if the #Pistons use their $14M in cap space first, then the KJ Martin move can be done with the room MLE ... so I'd expect something else is coming before the trade deadline. -via x.com / February 5, 2025
