Covington, Capela on move in 4-team deal
After much smoke surrounding the Minnesota Timberwolves reported pursuit of D’Angelo Russell, the Wolves are a part of a four-team trade with the Hawks, Nuggets and Rockets that shifts Robert Covington and Clint Capela (among others) to new locales.

Report: Rose likely to stay with Pistons
Derrick Rose, whose on-court resurgence has continued in controlled fashion with the Detroit Pistons, is likely to remain with the franchise that signed him in July, according to a report from Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports. Goodwill indicates the former Kia MVP would like to stay with Detroit despite the Lakers, Clippers and Jazz making inquiries, and that it would take a lottery pick on offer for the Pistons to “seriously consider” a move.

Reports: Hawks reacquire Dedmon for Len, Parker
The Atlanta Hawks are continuing to bolster their frontcourt rotation, according to a report by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, who indicates the Sacramento Kings will send Dewayne Dedmon to the ATL, along with a pair of second-round picks originally belonging to the Rockets (2020) and Heat (2021). In exchange, Alex Len and Jabari Parker are headed to Sacramento. Dedmon had a breakout two-year stint with the Hawks after latching on in 2017-18; a summer signing with Sacramento fizzled once it came time to hit the hardwood — Dedmon’s averaged only 15.9 minutes across 34 games, a drop of nearly 10 per game from last season in Atlanta. On the Kings side, according to Marc Stein of The New York Times, the reported deal would free up a significant amount of cap space for the coming offseason, potentially allowing Sacramento to match offers for restricted free agent Bogdan Bogdanovic.

Report: Iguodala traded to Heat, agrees to extension
The Miami Heat have traded for veteran swingman Andre Iguodala, according to a report by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Miami has also reportedly agreed to a 2-year, $30-million extension with the 2015 NBA Finals MVP. Wojnarowski adds that Justise Winslow will headline the return package, and Miami is also working with Oklahoma City to acquire Danilo Gallinari. Per Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, the Lakers were attempting to make a deal for Iguodala, but couldn’t sway Memphis.
Iguodala hasn’t played for the Grizzlies since being traded by the Warriors over the summer; with the team’s approval, he’s been on standby, apart from the rest of the roster until further notice. Iguodala played in 68 games for Golden State in 2018-19, averaging 5.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 23.2 minutes.

Report: Teams inquiring about Lakers’ Caruso
Multiple teams reportedly are inquiring about Lakers guard Alex Caruso, according to a report from Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports.

In 46 games with the Lakers this season, Caruso is averaging 5.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 18.4 minutes. According to Eric Pincus of NBA TV and B/R, the Lakers have received more calls about Caruso “than just about anyone else” on their roster.

Report: Suns fielding calls for Oubre
The Suns reportedly are listening to trade offers for forward Kelly Oubre Jr., according to a report from Marc Stein of the New York Times. The Suns (20-30) have struggled with injuries this season, but remain just 5.0 games out of the No. 8 seed in the West. The Suns acquired Oubre from the Wizards in a trade last season and re-signed him to a 2-year, $30 million contract in the offseason. In 48 games this season, Oubre is averaging career-highs for points (18.5) and rebounds (6.7) in 34.3 minutes.

Report: Rockets closing in on deal for center
The Rockers were part of the reported four-team, 12-player mega-deal on Tuesday that saw them part with their starting center, Clint Capela, to acquire Robert Covington from the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Houston is speaking with two unnamed Eastern Conference teams, Iko reports, about a center. Additionally, the Rockets are willing to take on additional salary in exchange for assets in a trade.

Report: Pelicans content to keep Holiday
As one of the top two-way guards in the NBA, the Pelicans’ Jrue Holiday is a name on the minds of many a team as the trade deadline nears. He’s having another solid season, averaging 19.7 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 6.3 apg and 1.7 spg … and it appears he may not be going anywhere come Feb. 6. Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports the Pelicans have yet to receive the kind of overwhelming offer it would take to pry Holiday from their roster.

Wizards not looking to trade Bertans
Davis Bertans has been a true success story for the Washington Wizards this season and his 3-point marksmanship was rewarded Tuesday with a spot in the MTN DEW 3-Point Contest. Bertans’ shooting ability and overall game have made him an enticing potential trade target, too. However, Candace Buckner of The Washington Post reports that while the Wizards have gotten many offers for Bertans, they don’t plan to trade him. In fact, they have designs on re-signing him this summer, Buckner reports.

Pacers reportedly looking to trade Leaf
After two-plus seasons, it appears the Indiana Pacers are ready to part with former first-round pick T.J. Leaf.
