This situation, as many deadline discussions do, is all about the money. As The Stein Line's Marc Stein and Jake Fischer reported, Harden wants a longer commitment than the two-year, $82 million pact he inked with the Clippers last offseason. L.A., meanwhile, wants to keep the coffers clean for the potentially stacked 2027 free agent class.

The NBA trade deadline is quickly approaching and the Los Angeles Lakers appear to be a playoff contender in the Western Conference.

In this NBA mock trade, the Atlanta Hawks send Kristaps Porzingis to the Los Angeles Lakers, pairing him up with LeBron James and Luka Doncic.

The Los Angeles Lakers may not be in the mix for Giannis Antetokounmpo ahead of the NBA trade deadline, but they reportedly could be a potential candidate to land him this offseason, if the Milwaukee Bucks choose to delay a trade until after the season.

During the Danny Ainge (and now Austin Ainge) era, the Utah Jazz have had an issue with being bad to prioritize their draft positioning, aka tanking. While they hold a protected first-round pick of their own in 2026, the Jazz are making a big swing to improve this roster.
