The NBA trade deadline hasn’t even hit yet, but the ripple effects of the deals already made are fueling speculation about the buyout market. The Phoenix Suns, with an open roster spot in hand, will undoubtedly be hunting for reinforcements, especially if they don’t bring in more players than they send out before Thursday’s deadline.
Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz and Los Angeles Clippers kicked off last weekend with a trade that, in the grand scheme of things, no one really cares about anymore. Not with the Luka bombshell stealing the show.
The Los Angeles Clippers are trading PJ Tucker, Mo Bamba, a future second-round pick and cash to the Utah Jazz for Drew Eubanks and Patty Mills, sources tell me and @BobbyMarks42.
