טרייד אפשרי בין ממפיס ליוטה:
Utah has had exploratory discussions with Memphis on a potential swap headlined by Mike Conley and Ricky Rubio in advance of next week's trade deadline, according to league sources
For those talks to progress all the way to a deal, though, would require additional pieces as well as Utah absorbing the two years and $66 million remaining on Conley's contract -- which is obviously steep
The Jazz have undeniable interest in Conley as the deadline approaches, league sources say, but it is a big step up financially from Rubio's $15 million expiring deal. Memphis is believed to covet prime draft compensation in a trade involving either Conley or Marc Gasol

Kyrie Irving when asked about his future with the Celtics:
Oct. 4, 2018:
“If you guys will have me back, I plan on re-signing here”
Feb. 1, 2019:
“Ask me July 1...I don’t owe anybody s--t”
Kyrie Irving said there’s been some “unwarranted commentary about his future.” He called the industry “F’d up.”
* שאמס צ'רנייה מדווח שבוסטון אינה יעד מועדף מבחינת
אנתוני דייוויס לטווח הארוך, ושאם יעבור אליה בטרייד - זה כנראה יהיה בתור "השאלה" עד סוף החוזה שלו (או בקיצור - "אני רוצה ללייקרס").
