At some point the Thunder have to start doing something right?  At some point just accumulating draft picks starts having diminishing value?
Luke Adams

Eventually, sure, but I don't think there's urgency to do it quite yet. This is only really the second year of their rebuild, even if it seems like it's lasted forever. They were a No. 5 seed in 2020!

Why would the Hawks trade Gallinari? When Trae Young is off the floor, he's one of the few guys who can actually get a bucket

I'd be a little surprised if the Hawks take an expiring contract and a draft pick for Gallinari, unless they like Dragic and think he'd play for them. I suppose it's also possible that, between that hypothetical deal and the Reddish one, they're accumulating draft picks to try to take a bigger swing.

Does Caris Levert trade push him to the Cavs starting lineup ahead of Okoro? Especially when Garland and Markkanen come back? Or does he team up with Love off the bench?
Luke Adams

I could see the Cavs experimenting a little with lineups. They don't necessarily NEED Okoro's defense in the starting lineup with Mobley and Allen out there, but the idea of LaVert running the second unit is intriguing.

Any reason the pacers would hold onto brogdon at this point? Haven’t heard any rumors surrounding him
Luke Adams

He can't be traded this season due to his extension.

What happens with Myles Turner?
Luke Adams
12:59
The Pacers will keep shopping him, but if the offers aren't satisfactory due to his injury, they could hang onto him until the summer. If they're in tank mode this season, they can extend his recovery from the foot issue a little longer to ensure he doesn't earn the team a couple extra late-season wins.

Any Warriors trades? Potential buy-out pickups?

Never say never, but I'd put the Warriors among the top five teams who are least likely to make a move at the deadline. If they trust that Green and Wiseman will get healthy, there just aren't any obvious holes on the roster, and they don't want to move any of their top prospects.
Thanks for all your questions, guys! There were a ton I didn't get to, but we'll be back on Thursday with one more live chat before the deadline. Should be a fun week!
