Houston Rockets' trade for Steven Adams raises questions about their playoff aspirations. While there were rumors of a potential trade for Mikal Bridges, talks with the Brooklyn Nets did not progress.

Orlando Magic's interest in Chris Paul and Kyle Lowry is inaccurate. Phoenix Suns lead the race to acquire Miles Bridges from the Charlotte Hornets. New York Knicks show interest in Bruce Brown Jr. but are hesitant to part with Quentin Grimes. Dejounte Murray's potential trade from the Atlanta Hawks may not materialize before the deadline.
