Dennis Schroder went to EuroBasket last summer without an NBA contract. He played his way into a return with the Lakers, helped Los Angeles make the WCF, then just got named MVP of the World Cup after leading Germany to the gold medal with Franz Wagner. Quite a story.

Quinn Cook cried alone in a car when he went undrafted. In Sept, the Hawks waived him after camp while he was mounting his TVs in an Atlanta apartment. Now, he’s the NBA’s most successful two-way contract keying the Warriors’ playoff second unit on.si.com/2FauZlr

Dallas had contacted several teams this week, looking to reroute additional salary for a potential three-team deal, sources said. A bunch of teams knew inklings about the Mavericks being close on a trade. Nobody knew it was trading Luka Doncic.

A Donovan Mitchell trade between the Knicks and Jazz is highly unlikely. League sources believe the Heat are one team that could offer a better package around Tyler Herro and multiple first-round picks (@JakeLFischer).

A Nuggets source just texted me: "Chinese Jokic," about the Blazers' surprise selection.

There's no trade here, either. The Blazers are keeping Yang, per source.

Golden State and Detroit are in conversations to trade Saddiq Bey, league sources told @YahooSports. The Warriors have shown an increased willingness to move James Wiseman before this afternoon's trade deadline, and the Pistons hold an interest in the former No. 2 pick.

Had heard Indiana was interested in Grant Williams, as the Pacers have been connected to a lot of forwards. For Boston to land Malcolm Brogdon without sacrificing Williams is a big win for the Celtics.

Y’all, not gonna lie, this is pretty fucking cool. And man, shoutout to Tony Snell, and to Dora and the boys for letting me share their story.

Breaking: Myles Turner tells reporters in advance of Saturday’s in-season tournament he has gone through over 120,000 Legos this season, spending 3-4 hours a day during his downtime. “I don’t play with Legos, I build with Legos,” Turner said.

Sounds like Danilo Gallinari will be deciding between Chicago and Boston for his next team. The Bulls have much of the full MLE to offer, roughly $8M AAV and a hair more than the Celtics. But Boston appears to be Gallo's preferred landing spot.

Gary Payton II has drawn a strong offer from the Trail Blazers among other suitors, sources said. I’m told Portland has the richest contract, roughly $8M, out to the versatile defender, but still mutual interest in Payton’s return to Golden State. Bruce Brown another POR target.

While Memphis has most seriously continued dialogue with Utah and Detroit on Mike Conley trade packages, the Raptors called Memphis offering Kyle Lowry and Jonas Valanciunas for Conley and Marc Gasol, per league sources. Lowry is aware of Toronto’s general trade discussions.
