Pacers Connected To John Collins
인디애나가 28mil의 캡 스페이스를 가지고 있기 때문에, 모든 팀들이 인디애나를 트래이드에 포함시키고 싶어 합니다. 다만 인디애나는 여전히 플옵을 노리기 위해 로스터 업그레이드를 원하며, 가능하면 젋은 포워드를 영입하고 싶다고 하네요. 때문에 혹스의 John Collins 영입 이야이가 돈다고 합니다.

The Indiana Pacers have nearly $28 million in remaining cap space a month out from the NBA trade deadline. That makes the Pacers a popular trade partner for almost every team in the league.
However, Indiana is also making a playoff push. That has the Pacers looking at upgrading their roster, ideally by adding a young forward. And that desire has Indiana linked to John Collins of the Atlanta Hawks.
The Hawks have struggled this season, and Collins has been in trade rumors since last summer. Atlanta has been rumored to be interested in moving Collins and the $102 million he's owed from this season through the 2025-26 season.
Given Indiana could absorb the entirety of Collins' $23.5 million salary this season with ease, it makes them a natural trade partner for Atlanta. The question comes with what the Pacers could send the Hawks, beyond the ability to rebalance their cap sheet.
D'Angelo Russell 'Conscious' Of Trade Rumors After Extension Talks Went Nowhere
지난 오프시즌 D'Angelo Russell과 울브스는 계약 연장 이야기를 나눴으나 아무런 성과가 없었다고 합니다. 또한 선수 보인도 이 때문에 많은 트래이드 루머에 본인의 이름이 거론되는걸 알고 있다고 말하네요.

D'Angelo Russell and the Minnesota Timberwolves were unable to make progress on a contract extension this past offseason, sources tell Jake Fischer of Yahoo.
Russell is in the final season of a four-year, $117 million deal he initially agreed to as part of a sign-and-trade with the Golden State Warriors. The Wolves traded for Russell in 2020 under Gersson Rosas.
“Yeah, it’s my life,” Russell told Yahoo. “That’s it. Just be conscious of it.”
The Miami Heat have registered interest in Russell, but a direct deal for Kyle Lowry appears unlikely. The Los Angeles Clippers and Phoenix Suns are two teams known to be monitoring potential improvements in the backcourt before the deadline. The Suns were linked to Russell in 2019 as he has a close relationship with Devin Booker.
Russell was asked by Yahoo how he is currently helping to push Anthony Edwards.
“I’m an Alpha as well, you know what I mean?" said Russell. "And I feel like I’m better than a lot of shooting guards and I’m better than a lot of point guards.”

Billy Donovan: Lonzo Ball Making 'Progress' On Knee Injury
불스의 Billy Donovan 감독은 22년 1월 부터 무릎 부상으로 경기를 뛰지 못하고 있는 Lonzo Ball에 대해, 무릎 상태가 좋아지고 있다고 이야기 합니다.
JAN 14, 2023 12:27 AM
Billy Donovan said that Lonzo Ball is making progress on his left knee injury after Ball posted an Instagram video of himself dunking a ball.
"Those are things that maybe six weeks ago he couldn't do. As much as they're little steps, it's still progress that he's continuing to make," said Donovan on Friday.
Donovan did temper expectations of Ball's return by saying the guard still felt pain in the knee.
"Is there pain there? Yes, there's still some discomfort there. But not at the level it was six weeks ago. I'm not trying to say what Lonzo's pain is.
"But the question is does he have pain? Yes. Is it the same pain he was dealing with six weeks ago? No. How much better is it? It's good enough that he can get on a treadmill and do some running and he can go jump and go dunk the ball," added Donovan.
Ball last played an NBA game on January 14, 2022.
Donovan added that Ball will still need an adjustment period once he returns to the court.
"When you're out a year, whenever he gets back to playing, I don't think missing that much time is going to expect him to pick up right where he left off. There's going to be an adjustment period, there's no question."
Jae Crowder: Suns Pushing Me Out Door Was Blindside Hit To Not Only Me But My Teammates
구단과의 불화로, 합의 하에 경기에 나서지 않고 있는 선주의 Jae Crowder는, 죠지아 텍 에서 훈련하며 좋은 몸상태를 유지하고 있고, 여전히 팀원들과 소통하고 있다고 이야기 합니다.

While away from the Phoenix Suns this season, Jae Crowder has spent most of his time in Atlanta working out at Georgia Tech. Crowder told Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report that he's in great shape and working out daily.
Crowder also revealed he's received the support of his teammates while he has sought a trade from the Suns.
"I've spoken to every player that I've played with on that team and they all have stressed how much they miss [me] and respect my decision, and I'm thankful for their understanding," Crowder told Haynes via text message. "This move of pushing me out the door was a blindsided hit to not only me but my teammates, as you can see from speaking to them and myself and the conversations we've had behind closed doors.
"I will continue to prepare myself daily for battle once the call is made and continue to be a leader on the court, locker room, as well as off the court. I am thankful my teammates appreciated my leadership. I'm confused and hurt my coaches didn't appreciate the things I brought to our team and organization. And this has nothing to do with financial or contract differences."
Crowder will be a free agent this offseason.
