The Philadelphia 76ers, Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics have emerged as potential trade destinations for JJ Redick, sources told Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Redick prefers returning to the northeast area with his family currently in Brooklyn.

No trade is currently imminent, according to The Athletic.

February 2nd is the deadline for players to be traded and still be aggregated for future trades ahead of the March 25th trade deadline. 

The New York Knicks continue to monitor Zach LaVine's situation with the Chicago Bulls, sources told Ian Begley of SNY.

The Knicks had done background work on LaVine last summer had the Bulls been prepared to trade LaVine.

It is not clear whether the Bulls will listen to offers for LaVine, who can be a free agent in 2022.

The Knicks have five first-round picks over the next three drafts to offer in a potential deal.

This season's trade deadline is March 25th. 

Bradley Beal expressed his frustration following another loss for the Washington Wizards despite his 47 point effort. Washington lost 124-106 to the New Orleans Pelicans in the game.

Beal was asked if he's frustrated.

"Is the sky blue?" he said calmly.

Beal signed a two-year, $72 million extension with the Wizards in 2019.

"It's tough," Beal said. "I am not going to sit here and be naive. ... We want to win, and I want to win. This is why I stayed. I want to win. I figured this is the place I can get it done. It's tough. Last year was what it was. We had a lot of guys out. John [Wall] was out. It was just a rotten year. COVID hit."

Gersson Rosas had a difficult decision to make with the No. 1 pick as the top two prospects, James Wiseman and LaMelo Ball, play the same positions as the Minnesota Timberwolves franchise cornerstones in Karl-Anthony Towns and D'Angelo Russell. Minnesota selected Anthony Edwards, who made more sense for the team due to his positional need.

"If he had drafted either Wiseman or Ball, he would have crowded either one of those guys who can block vote against him, frankly," said Brian Windhorst on his podcast. "He tried like hell for months to get out of that No. 1 pick. All the way up until draft night. In fact, the story I've heard, even on the clock he was trying to posture that he was going to take Wiseman in an effort to get the Warriors, who wanted Wiseman really bad, to swap with him and give him his draft pick back."

Wiseman specifically avoided working out for the Wolves, presumably due to the presence of Towns.

With James Harden and Jrue Holiday traded and Giannis Antetokounmpo now on a supermax extension, Bradley Beal is the NBA's biggest star who could conceivably come to market in the near future given the continued struggles of the Washington Wizards. Beal can become a free agent after the 21-22 season, which could lead the Wizards to trade him. 

"It's what everyone's talking about in the league," said Brian Windhorst on his podcast. "There are executives out there... I'm just telling you this, I talk to them... who are talking about moves they can make going into this trade deadline, or moves they can make now that potentially set themselves up to make an even better Bradley Beal offer when that moment happens. Whether it's in March, whether it's in August. Whatever.

"There are so many people watching this, even though he is, to my knowledge, has not made any requests for anything."

The Wizards have a 3-11 record on the season, but Beal has a positive plus/minus in the minutes he has played. Beal is also leading the NBA in scoring with 35.4 points per game.

In addition to Lonzo Ball and J.J. Redick, the New Orleans Pelicans have interest in trading Eric Bledsoe.

The Pelicans have had a disappointing start to the season and Brian Windhorst reports that the Pelicans are the ones initiating some of the trade discussions for their players.

Both Ball and Redick will be free agents this offseason.

The Golden State Warriors and New Orleans Pelicans have discussed a trade involving Kelly Oubre Jr.

The Warriors acquired Oubre from the Oklahoma City Thunder before the start of the season following the season-ending injury to Klay Thompson.

Oubre will be a free agent in 2021 and is averaging 11.7 points and 5.5 rebounds per game with the Warriors.

Talks between the Warriors and Pelicans have yet to gain traction.

The New York Knicks and Los Angeles Clippers have interest in trading for Derrick Rose. Tom Thibodaeu coached Rose with the Chicago Bulls and Minnesota Timberwolves, while Ty Lue had a brief stint coaching him with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Rose was linked with a trade to the Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers last season.

Rose is on an expiring contract with the Detroit Pistons.

The New Orleans Pelicans have received trade calls on the availability of Lonzo Ball and J.J. Redick with sources telling Shams Charania of The Athletic that they have shown an openness to discuss a trade.

Ball is in his second season with the Pelicans and will be a restricted free agent in the offseason.

Redick is in the second season of a two-year, $26.5 million deal with the Pelicans. 

Trading away Ball and Redick would allow the Pelicans to allocate more minutes to Nickel Alexander-Walker and Kira Lewis.

The Brooklyn Nets have interest in trading for JaVale McGee.

The Los Angeles Lakers traded McGee to the Cleveland Cavaliers this past offseason. 

Brooklyn has two roster spots open currently.

A previous report suggested the Nets could also have interest in Kevin Love, but that is virtually impossible due to Brooklyn's inability to match salary in a trade.
