Digest more
Former Sacramento Kings wing Keon Ellis took to Instagram to react to his trade to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday.
The Cavaliers ended the NBA's trade drought with their move for Schroder and Ellis, which they think is a potential championship-winning move.
Former Alabama guard Keon Ellis has changed teams ahead of Thursday’s NBA trade deadline. The Cleveland Cavaliers acquired Ellis and guard Dennis Schroder from the Sacramento Kings and forward Emanuel Miller from the Chicago Bulls while sending forward De’Andre Hunter to the Kings and draft considerations to the Bulls.
Schroder is now close to making a record for the most teams in an NBA career. This unique record is currently held by Ish Smith who played for 13 teams in his 14 seasons in the NBA. Next on the list is Chucky Brown, who had represented 12 different NBA franchises in 12 seasons. Jim Jackson, Tony Massenburg and Joe Smith all have the same record.
Michael Scotto confirmed that the Washington Wizards are among the teams showing interest in the Cleveland Cavaliers star Lonzo Ball.
The 76ers' forward was suspended 25 games for violating the league's drug policy, which could impact Philadelphia's deadline plans.
The NBA trade deadline is 3 p.m. ET on Thursday, and the rumor mill is at its peak. There are a lot of lucrative options on the trade block, and teams are thinking about both depth and finances in their pursuits.
The Chicago Bulls made their first move of the trade deadline Saturday night, receiving two second-round picks and forward Dario Šarić in a three-team trade.
