Deadline Dramas: Lakers, Celtics, Bucks pursue upgrades as Morant rumors swirl

With the Feb. 5 trade deadline approaching, the Lakers are targeting 3-and-D wings at bargain prices, the Celtics may seek a big man (Ivica Zubac or Robert Williams III) to complement Jayson Tatum, and the Bucks are aggressively looking to add talent around Giannis Antetokounmpo, with Ja Morant among the linked players although the market remains tepid. Morant is said to be drawing interest from Miami, but a deal is far from certain; other notes include Anthony Davis potentially heading to Dallas, Sabonis returning to boost his trade value, De’Andre Hunter trade chatter in Cleveland, Peyton Watson breaking out in Denver, and Sacramento not shopping Malik Monk.
