DeAndre’ Bembry, who is dealing with a hand injury, could be moved before the deadline, per a source. The Timberwolves are among the teams with eyes on the wing, although interest around the league isn’t expected to be strong.
It’s possible that Bembry is included in a potential multi-team D’Angelo Russell trade. Bembry starred at St. Joe's before being selected with the No. 21 overall pick. Through three-plus seasons with the Hawks, the New Jersey native hasn’t taken flight.
Here’s more from around the league:
- At least one team has an interest in trading for Semi Ojeleye, provided the price tag isn’t significant at all, a source tells Hoops Rumors. The third-year forward has played in 47 games for Boston this season.
- All signs point to a quiet deadline for the Celtics, according to Adam Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe. “It feels like it’s kind of dead right now,” one league source told the Boston writer. Himmelsbach added that Houston was the party to initiate the Clint Capela talks, and now it appears that those talks are not going anywhere because of the Rockets’ high asking price.
- As we passed along last month, the Wizards love Davis Bertans and see him as a long-term piece. Not much as changed, according to Candace Buckner of the Washington Post, the Wizards plan on keeping the 27-year-old power forward and want to re-sign him this offseason.
- The Celtics remain interested in Bertans, per Himmelsbach. However, Boston appears to be resigned to the fact that it is not getting the power forward.
