NBA Trade Rumours Roundup, January 29th: Anthony Davis to Lakers update, Grizzlies want Gasol and more
We have now passed the halfway point of the 2018/19 NBA season, and teams are starting to get a good idea about where they currently stand. Up until this point, both Conferences have remained competitive, with eleven teams in playoff contention in the Eastern Conference, while every team except the Phoenix Suns and Memphis Grizzlies still have a shot in the West.
The February trade deadline is also quickly approaching, as the NBA has made changes to the deadline so that it will now always occur 10 days before the All-Star game. This has been done so that players who are traded have time to settle into their new teams, so this year's trade window will close on February 7th.
So with the trade deadline just two weeks away, here are the biggest trade rumours you need to know for January 29th.
Marc Gasol is interesting the Pistons and Kings
The Memphis Grizzlies have won just one of their last ten games, and this poor run of form has all but ended the team's chances of reaching the NBA postseason. Due to this, the franchise has been linked with trading away their longtime duo of Mike Conley and Marc Gasol, and The Ringer is reporting that Gasol is attracting interest from both the Pistons and Kings:
So far, Gasol is generating more chatter on the market than Conley. The Kings and Pistons have expressed interest, according to multiple league sources.
Gasol is a three-time NBA All-Star, who has spent his entire NBA career in Memphis. The Spanish center has a player option for next season worth over $25 million, and so far this season, he is averaging 15.4 points, 8.7 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game.
