Adrian Wojnarowski, Shams Charania and the main “insiders” who cover the NBA heated the smartphones in the last hours before the deadline, this Thursday at 9 p.m. Information concerning in particular Andre Drummond, D'Angelo Russell or Andre Iguodala. On Wednesday, four teams (Houston, Atlanta, Denver, Minnesota) had concluded an XXL "deal" concerning no less than 12 players, including Clint Capela. Derrick Rose (Detroit), Kevin Love (Cleveland) or Kyle Kuzma (LA Lakers), they have not budged. No more than Danilo Gallinari (OKC). The names of the French Evan Fournier (Orlando) and Franck Ntilikina (New York) could be mentioned here and there, but nothing came. The last transactions round.
Andre Drummond leaves Detroit for… Cleveland
It’s the chef’s surprise. Cleveland and Detroit have agreed on the Andre Drummond trade. If a departure from the best rebounder in the NBA (15.8 rebounds / game) could be in the pipeline, this is the destination that is surprising ... In return, the Pistons recover Brandon Knight, John Henson and a second round of Draft. Andre Drummond, 26, has a player option at $ 28.8 million for next season. Clearly, he can be free this summer, he who has spent his entire professional career in Michigan so far.
Cleveland is finalizing a trade for Detroit's Andre Drummond, league source tells ESPN.
- Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) February 6, 2020 From Angelo Russell to Minnesota, Andrew Wiggins from the Warriors
Recruited last summer for $ 117 million over four years, D'Angelo Russell leaves Golden State and heads for Minnesota. Jacob Evans and Omari Spellman are going to the Timberwolves too. The Warriors, they recover the former number 1 of the Draft Andrew Wiggins and two rounds of Draft, including the first round of the T-Wolves in 2021 (protected Top 3, then unprotected in 2022) and a second round, in 2021 too. All Star last year with Brooklyn, D'Angelo Russell, 23, turned 23.6 points and 6.2 assists this season. Andrew Wiggins, 24, has averaged 22.4 points and 5.2 rebounds so far.
Golden State has agreed to trade D'Angelo Russell to Minnesota for a deal that includes Andrew Wiggins, a 2021 protected first-round pick and a 2022 second-round pick, league sources tell ESPN. Warriors will send Jacob Evans and Omari Spellman to Timberwolves too.
- Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) February 6, 2020 12 players traded between four teams, including Clint Capela
This is one of the biggest deals for 20 years in the NBA! On Wednesday, four teams agreed to exchange 12 players, including the former Chalon pivot, Clint Capela, who goes from Houston to Atlanta. The Rockets get their hands on the wing they coveted, Robert Covington, who arrives in Texas from Minnesota, but they are now looking for a pivot. Denver is concerned too. Note that the Hawks have already cut Nene, which they had acquired in this XXL trade.
Houston: Robert Covington, Jordan Bell
Atlanta: Clint Capela, Nene
Denver: Gerald Green, Noah Vonleh, Shabazz Napier, Keita Bates-Diop, 1st round of HOU Draft 2020
Minnesota: Malik Beasley, Juancho Hernangómez, Jarred Vanderbilt, Evan Turner, 1st round of Brooklyn Draft 2020
Iguodala hits the road to Miami (and signs a big extension)
Andre Iguodala was ready to give up on the season if the Grizzlies could not trade it before the deadline. He will be able to return to the parquet floor before autumn finally. The Heat sends Justise Winslow, Dion Waiters and James Johnson to Memphis for "Iggy", Solomon Hill and Jae Crowder. No draft round is exchanged. In addition, the MVP of the 2015 Finals and triple champion with Golden State that is Iguodala, 36, got along with Miami for a rich extension. It will receive $ 30 million over two years after the current fiscal year. The second year optional team. Note that Minnesota has come to piggyback on the "deal" and sends Gorgui Dieng to Memphis. The T-Wolves wrest James Johnson out of the battle.
