The Los Angeles Lakers reportedly plan to be active before the trade deadline, with a 3-and-D player among their priorities.

Paul, a 12-time All-Star, announced Wednesday that he was sent home ahead of the Clippers' game in Atlanta against the Hawks. The 40-year-old veteran signed a one-year deal with the franchise during the offseason, but ESPN's Shams Charania reported that he and coach Ty Lue had not been on speaking terms for several weeks.

While the NBA trade buzz surrounding Domantas Sabonis and the Kings coninutes, it appears to be solely from teams calling to inquire about their chances, but the likelihood remains low. From sources close to the situation, Sabonis and the Kings are content with the way things are as The Athletic's Sam Amick confirmed, per FanDuel TV's Run it Back.

After their latest win over the Suns, the Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly interested in a new trade target, according to recent rumors.

At any given time, almost the entire NBA is theoretically available for trades, but some players are substantially likelier to move than others. So let's go through the 100 most plausible trade candidates available between now and the Feb.

The Raptors would need to put together a package involving RJ Barrett and Jakob Poeltl to match salaries for Anthony Davis' trade.

The Houston Rockets have the assets, the flexibility and the urgency to pursue a generational upgrade. On paper, few teams in the NBA are better positioned to construct a competitive offer for Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Giannis Antetokounmpo may ultimately end up being traded ahead of the February deadline, but there doesn't seem to be much movement on that front thus far.
