I\u2019m now at 60-40 against a trade. Minnesota is still out there but I\u2019m going to be honest with you, I don\u2019t think Minnesota\u2019s offer was as good as Golden State\u2019s, and if that ofer wasn\u2019t good enough, and Minnesota can\u2019t make a trade to improve their offer, I don\u2019t think Minnesota is realistic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cThat leaves Miami. Miami is making sort of a player and semi draft pick offer. It\u2019s a decent offer. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s the kind of offer you would stop everything for.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cThere are a couple of other teams out there that have shown interest. Cleveland has shown interest in Giannis but they are in a position with James Harden where they have picked a lane. Portland has sniffed around Giannis. They have the Bucks\u2019 draft assets from the Damian Lillard trade but these are not compelling things. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m not feeling Giannis moving right now and he has not forced the issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The Warriors appeared to pivot off their pursuit of Antetokounmpo after last night\u2019s trade that sent Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield to the Atlanta Hawks for Kristaps Porzingis.<\/p>\n<p>Clippers Receiving calls on Zubac<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The Los Angeles Clippers are receiving calls onc entre Ivica Zubac, according to NBA reporter Jake Fischer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The Indiana Pacers are reportedly are among his biggest suitors.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sources: After trading James Harden to Cleveland earlier this week, the Clippers have still been receiving calls on starting center Ivica Zubac, with the Indiana Pacers prime among his suitors. <\/p>\n<p>More NBA here:  <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xQGgEzSyLj\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/xQGgEzSyLj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jake Fischer (@JakeLFischer) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JakeLFischer\/status\/2019282908478075376?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">February 5, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Zubac, 28, is averaging 14.4 points, 11 rebounds, and 2.2 asissts this season n 61 per cent shooting from the field <\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Keep up on all the news and rumours in the NBA ahead of today\u2019s 3 p.m. ET trade&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":434457,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[712,49,48,459,82],"class_list":["post-455647","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-apple-news","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/455647","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=455647"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/455647\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/434457"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=455647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=455647"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=455647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
