NBA trade rumors: Latest on Jonas Valančiūnas, Malcolm Brogdon, Jordan Clarkson, more | News, results, highlights, statistics and rumors

Several veteran contributors are expected to be available on the trade market before the NBA’s Feb. 6 deadline.

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Jonas Valančiūnas and Malcolm Brogdon of the Washington Wizards are among the players who can be moved for second-round picks.

“Other veterans believed to be available for second-round draft compensation 39 days before the trade deadline include Valančiūnas and Brogdon, Toronto’s Kelly Olynyk and Bruce Brown, and Utah’s Jordan Clarkson,” wrote Stone on Sunday.

Valančiūnas is in the first season of a three-year, $30.3 million contract he signed with Washington in July. The veteran center has averaged 11.5 points and 8.0 rebounds in 19.9 minutes per game this season and shot 54.8 percent from the field.

The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly considered a potential destination for Valančiūnas as the team looks for an offensive-minded frontcourt partner for Anthony Davis. The Lakers have been active in the trade market, acquiring forward Dorian Finney-Smith in a deal with the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday.

Brogdon has an expiring contract worth $22.5 million. The 32-year-old only appeared in 14 games this season due to thumb surgery, but remained an efficient lead guard.

Entering his 2024-25 season, Brogdon is recording 14.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game on 45.5/35.0/84.9 shooting splits. He has already shown he can thrive in a reduced role on a contending team, winning the 2023 Sixth Man of the Year award as a member of the Boston Celtics.

Brett Siegel of Clutch Points reported on Dec. 20 that the Utah Jazz would “ideally” receive a first-round pick in exchange for Clarkson, but the team’s price appears to be dropping as the deadline approaches.

The 32-year-old is hitting just 32.4 percent of his attempts from behind the arc this season, but still ranks fifth in bench scoring among all players, averaging 16.3 points per game as a reserve (via NBA.com).
