The NBA Trade Deadline is quickly approaching so we want to bring you every rumor, update, and of Woj bomb possible.
There’s less than an hour until the best trade deadline in professional sports: the one which belongs to the NBA.

Philly received Andrew Bogut, Justin Anderson, and a first-round pick in return. Bogut is likely to be waived.
It’s the rumors that make trade deadline day though isn’t it?
Well, this year it’s all about Paul George and the Boston Celtics. As usual, Boston is unwilling to give up some of their assets and a team is asking too high of a price for their superstar player.
Sources: Boston, Indy had preliminary talk on Paul George, but there won't be real dialogue until/unless C's introduce Nets pick into deal.

Update on Boston, Indy: Boston hasn't met Indiana's asking price on Paul George, but Nets pick has entered conversation now, sources say.

Denver is in on Paul George, too. According to Stein.
Denver today made a "monster" offer to Indiana for Paul George, league sources tell @ChrisBHaynes and me, but the talks gained no traction.
