Guessing: Add Orlando Magic to the Cam Johnson list? Buyout possible for Ben Simmons?

Is it the calm before the storm or an indication that things will not be so wild on the closing date, now six days away on February 6th (at 3:00 p.m. ET)? The story could suggest an answer, the innovations of the new CBAs another.

In the past, nothing big has moved until the largest commercial is treated (and we all know who it is), then the lock gates open, usually 48 to 72 hours before the deadline, with most business taking place in the last 24 Hours, but some press directly into the 3:00 a.m. ET period.

This year it may be difficult for so many teams on or near an apron or a threshold or an upper limit to take large steps into account if the financial effects on their owners take into account. In addition, not many teams who still have a selection in the draft of 2025 want to unsubscribe from the generation draft in Win-now moves. You learned this lesson: seven of the 30 teams picking either have no picks (four) or only second round (three).

Since most of the messages concentrate on where Jimmy Butler may end up or what several competitors do to make a last thrust a buyout.

Johnson is of course the Nets Big piece, unless Sean Marks & Co. Surprise. Jake Fischer, who is geared towards Marc Stein’s The Steinline Substance, suggested in the past few days that the Nets Sacramento Kings and Brooklyn have not spoken for weeks NBAS leader in the effective field target percentage – two first round and “things”.

Matt Moore from Hartwood Paroxysms in a summary of the rumors in the league wrote this Friday: “Add Orlando to the list of Cam Johnson applicants. Sources said they had worked on what the addition of Johnson brings with it. ”

That sounds more like internal discussions, and a league source says Netsdaily that he knows no actual conversations about Cam Johnson.

As for Simmons, Brett Siegel tweeted, which covers trade conversations for Clutch points, on Friday that this is a potential for a buyout …

Brian Windhorst from ESPN had indicated on Tuesday that Simmons could be a buyout candidate.

Windy spoke about the needs of the cavaliers: “What they would be looking for is a perimeter guard who is size. Two boys who could buy this attack are Lonzo Ball and Ben Simmons. “

It could happen, but at the moment there is apparently nothing more. Two sources of the league confirmed that there were no buyout talks with Simmons – “too early”, one, while the other said that such conversations are “possible”, but there is no need to do the matter until after the trading period discuss.

“The networks are not in a hurry,” said one of the sources of the current position of the NETs on a series of fronts.

A Buy -out of Simmons that has leaked could Value for both sides.

The players are usually bought at around 70% of their remaining contract. If the two sides follow shape, this could mean saving several million dollars. That would give Brooklyn a much larger pillow that you now have to avoid the luxury tax. In fact, the networks are dangerously close to the threshold with a reported 677,000 US dollars.

On the Simmons side of the equation, he was able to sign a candidate with a candidate with a small short-term deal. If he contributes to a competitor who even comes from the bank, he would probably improve his situation in the free agency – more than in a tanking team. It must be bought up by March 1, a month from today.

Rumors come quickly and angry … The trade does not act like this. Some rumors are outdated at the time they are published, while other negotiations can be realized so quickly that reporters cannot catch up. The youngest Nets-Lakers give a good example. This trade took six hours to get together.
