For the curious:
Royce O’Neale will wear No. 00 and David Roddy will wear No. 21 for the Suns. #Suns #Nets #Grizzlies8:43 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
The Grizzlies’ first-round pick swap with the Suns is for 2026. Kevin Durant will be 37 at the time (and probably still elite), but that’s a good pickup for the Grizzlies. A shiny, valuable asset added to the treasure chest. – 8:30 PM

Nikola Vucevic won the battle vs. Jaren Jackson Jr. At the FIBA WC, but Jackson is giving him the business right now. Jaren is up to 13 points in the first quarter on 5-6 shooting. – 8:25 PM
Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet
The pick swap going to the Grizzlies as part of the Royce O’Neale/David Roddy trade allows Memphis to swap their 2026 1st round pick for the least favorable of the Suns’, Wizards’ or Magic’s 1st-rounder that year – 8:25 PM
Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet
From a source, the Nets are getting these 3 2nd-rounders from the Suns in the Royce O’Neale trade:
-Least favorable of Magic, Pistons or Bucks picks in 2026
-Grizzlies pick in 2028
-Grizzlies pick in 2029 – 8:24 PM
Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
Bulls did not start in that two-big lineup, but they’re going back to it now with Vooch and Drummond on the court together. – 8:22 PM
Mike Vorkunov @MikeVorkunov
The Grizzlies are also getting a 2026 first round pick swap from the Suns in the 3-team deal that will send Royce O’Neale from Brooklyn to Phoenix – 8:21 PM
Michael Scotto @MikeAScotto
Nets get Keita Bates-Diop, Jordan Goodwin and second-round picks in 2026 (least favorable of DET, ORL and MIL), 2028 (MEM) and 2029 (MEM) from the Suns for Royce O’Neale. Suns get David Roddy from the Grizzlies for Chimezie Metu, Yuta Watanabe and 2026 draft pick considerations. – 8:21 PM

Memphis Grizzlies PR @GrizzliesPR
The @memgrizz acquired Yuta Watanabe, Chimezie Metu and a future first round pick swap from Phoenix in a three-team trade also involving Brooklyn.
As part of the deal, Memphis traded David Roddy to Phoenix.
In a related move, the Grizzlies waived Victor Oladipo. pic.twitter.com/dzCUAbxoMc8:16 PM

No one on the Bulls roster switches gears in transition like Ayo. Even teammates like Coby take a second to adjust and spot him already heading toward the opposite rim. – 8:15 PM

No Derrick Rose for Grizzlies tonight. – 7:57 PM
Jamal Collier @JamalCollier
The Bulls are the only team to not make a trade the week of the trade deadline in the last 3 seasons, according to research by ESPN Stats & Information.
MIA and CLE have also not made deals specifically on Deadline Day, but made deals right before it
espn.com/nba/story/_/id…7:48 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Reported this shortly after deadline but bumping this again. Bulls tried to get Bojan Bogdanović from Pistons, per sources, and had talks on Alex Caruso, but their asking price on latter was rightfully high.

Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Josh Hart on how he got hurt against the Grizzlies on Tuesday: “It was just Deuce trying to take a charge or something and he fell into it, so it kinda hyperextended for a second but it’s good.” – 7:18 PM
Evan Sidery @esidery
The Suns traded the following second-round picks to the Nets for Royce O’Neale, per @Gambo987:
2026 2nd (via Bucks, Magic or Pistons)
2028 2nd (via Grizzlies)
2029 2nd (via Grizzlies)
Phoenix only has one tradable pick moving forward: 2028 2nd (via Celtics protected 31-45). pic.twitter.com/JCFJ9PAiSa7:18 PM

The Bulls stood pat. Again. Three straight trade deadlines without a move: espn.com/nba/story/_/id…7:16 PM
Chris Herrington @ChrisHerrington
We’re still waiting on the pick-swap details on the Roddy/Watanabe trade. But I think we’re going to find that, from the Grizzlies perspective, it was considered a pretty neutral deal on the talent/roster/money front, with the swap the main thing.

Torrey Craig was limited in shootaround and is gametime decision vs. Grizzlies, per Donovan. He added ankle is still bothering Craig – 6:45 PM
Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
Billy Donovan on how he valued the current Bulls players going into the trade deadline: “I think Alex Caruso is one of the most valuable players in the NBA. I think you need to get a haul for him. Those players like DeMar DeRozan, like Alex Caruso just don’t grow on trees.” – 6:39 PM
Julia Poe @byjuliapoe
“We didn’t see anything that was going to make us better.”
Three years after his last deadline move, Artūras Karnišovas says the Bulls didn’t want to “take a step back” with a trade.
But does this roster really have enough to be competitive?
chicagotribune.com/2024/02/08/chi…6:27 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Per Taylor Jenkins:
Luke Kennard and Derrick Rose are trending toward being out. Jaren Jackson Jr. will go through his pregame warmup, but likely to play – 6:21 PM
Chuck Swirsky @ctsbulls
Rose may not play tonight. Kennard out vs Bulls. – 6:21 PM

Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
About the time this presser jumped the shark? In the opening statement when AK was talking about PWill and said “He was on a tear in the month of December, averaging 14 points.” There’s the bar on words like “competitive” and “tear.” pic.twitter.com/iMlKJiD3y74:23 PM
Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
The sad thing is when the Bulls resume the second half at home against Boston, and they’re down 25, but come storming back to lose by 7…you will all be on your feet at a sold-out UC screaming in joy. Blame AK all you want, but he’s working the puppets to perfection. – 4:20 PM
Steve Popper @StevePopper
So for all the trades made Brogdon, Brown, Murray, Clarkson Kuzma and all the Bulls and Lakers stay put – lot of words wasted on those rumors. – 4:12 PM
Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
AK says he expects Lonzo Ball back “in a perfect world.” AK and I definitely have different views of reality… that’s for sure. – 4:11 PM
Jamal Collier @JamalCollier
Bulls VP Arturas Karnisovas says he would like to re-sign DeMar DeRozan in the offseason:
“I love DeMar. He’s huge for this team, this city, this organization. Has been great for our young guys.
“Hopefully when the time comes, we’ll have a chance to keep him” – 4:07 PM

Artūras Karnišovas cites emergence of Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu’s and PWil’s improvement, DeMar DeRozan’s closing status, Nikola Vucevic double-double machine status, Alex Caruso making winning plays and Andre Drummond’s play, plus the East parity, as reasons for hope. – 3:52 PM

Bulls VP Arturas Karnisovas is speaking with the media right now via zoom. He starts off by saying Zach LaVine had surgery today
He says he’s much happier now with the team compared to 4-15 start. “This team is very competitive in every game” – 3:51 PM

Zach LaVine had his right foot surgery today, says AK. Loves his “gritty” group. Buyers market and says his team is “very competitive.” – 3:51 PM

Arturas opens his availability with the update that Zach LaVine had surgery today.
Estimated recovery is still 4-6 months. – 3:49 PM
John Hollinger @johnhollinger
Grizzlies notes:
* Yuta Watanabe has a player option for next season for $2.7M
* Chimezie Metu prob a short-timer but pretty decent player at 4/5, can soak up frontcourt minutes
* Stevens hard-nosed defender, but think at some point they move on to sign GG Jackson to roster deal – 3:46 PM

biggest basketball transaction in Chicago on Feb. 8 was the Sky signing Kysre Gondrezick to a training camp contract – 3:45 PM

Daniel Gafford is an easy guy to talk yourself into because no one watches the Bulls or Wizards. – 3:40 PM
Chris Herrington @ChrisHerrington
Other Grizzlies details being reported: That center Chimezie Metu (expiring contract) is part of Roddy deal and Victor Oladipo (as expected) is being waived.
Still waiting pick swap details, which seem likely to be minor. – 3:40 PM

The Memphis Grizzlies did pretty much what the goal was at this deadline. They added roster flexibility and moved off of players that aren’t viewed as fits for the championship window. Memphis will be a very active team this offseason. – 3:27 PM

For the third consecutive year, the Chicago Bulls did not make a move at the NBA trade deadline.
They have not made a trade for a player since August 2021. chicagotribune.com/2024/02/08/chi…3:07 PM
Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
Expected a possible Drummond move, but not much else. This went pretty much as sources said it would go. There was some serious in-house debate, but AK is fixated on staying the course for some reason and had final say. – 3:06 PM

And that’s that.
Time’s up, pencils down. No movement for Chicago for a third consecutive year.

The Chicago Bulls haven’t made a trade involving a player since August 2021. That’s 30 months and counting without a deal.

Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
The 2024 second-round pick the Sixers will receive from the Boston Celtics in exchange for Jaden Springer is the more favorable Chicago or New Orleans, according to a league source. – 3:00 PM
Joe Cowley @JCowleyHoops
As reported for several weeks, Alex Caruso was deemed all but untouchable through this deadline. – 2:52 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Last season, the Bulls didn’t trade Nikola Vučević at the deadline and then re-signed him before he hit unrestricted free agency.
DeMar DeRozan sounded very much like someone desiring to do the same.
“The love is there.”

Can confirm the David Roddy trade. After a season and a half, Memphis is parting ways with the former 1st rd pick. He was the only Grizzlies player on the 15-man roster who has been active for every game this season.
More roster flexibility for Grizzlies.
