The NBA trade deadline is heating up with wild reports of Jimmy Butler heading to the Warriors and the Bulls rejecting a Clint Capela swap. Plus, tempers flared across the league, from ejections in Indiana to Victor Wembanyama calling out the refs—was it all fair or foul?
The NBA trade deadline is right around the corner, and the rumors are flying. Matt Moore breaks down a potential blockbuster deal that could send Jimmy Butler to the Warriors, while Hayes reacts to the Bulls turning down a trade involving Nikola Vucevic and Clint Capela. Is Chicago holding onto their assets for too long, or do they have a master plan? Meanwhile, tensions exploded across the league—Isaiah Stewart’s early ejection, near brawls in multiple games, and Wemby taking shots at NBA officiating. Is the league’s officiating bias real, or does the Spurs rookie just need to bulk up?
Elsewhere, the Celtics claim they're just getting unlucky with opposing teams shooting the lights out—do they have a point, or should they stop making excuses? The Timberwolves' Chris Finch got ejected for calling the refs "bozos," which raises the question: how soft have NBA officials become? Plus, the Rockets and Grizzlies face off in a matchup that could reveal Memphis' real standing in the West. Can Ja Morant snap his cold streak, or is it time to recognize that Jaren Jackson Jr. is the real leader of this team?
And, of course, All-Star snubs are incoming. Which big names will be left out in the cold when the reserves are announced? Find out all this and more on today’s Locked On NBA!
