“#Drake FaceTimes Kyle Lowry during post-game<\/a> presser<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Kyle Lowry was a few minutes into a postgame Zoom session where most questions were centered around Thursday\u2019s NBA trade deadline, then asked for his microphone to be paused for a moment.<\/p>\n

Drake \u2014 yes, Drake \u2014 was FaceTiming his phone.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m here to translate,\u201d the hip-hop star and Toronto superfan said. \u201cI\u2019m his translator.\u201d<\/p>\n

At 3 p.m. Eastern time on Thursday, translation on which way the trade winds are blowing in the NBA will no longer be needed. By then, answers will be known.<\/p>\n

Lowry is perhaps the top potential prize on the trade market going into deadline day, which means Wednesday\u2019s win over Denver might have been his last in a Toronto Raptors uniform. Houston\u2019s Victor Oladipo could be another big-name trade candidate, along with Orlando\u2019s Aaron Gordon and New Orleans guards Lonzo Ball and JJ Redick. And that doesn\u2019t even include San Antonio\u2019s LaMarcus Aldridge and Cleveland\u2019s Andre Drummond, players who seem destined for buyouts if their big contracts don\u2019t get moved in trades.<\/p>\n

Thursday happ<\/a>ens to be Lowry\u2019s 35th birthday, though he\u2019s telling people he\u2019s turning 30 again. Other than getting presents from his kids, he doesn\u2019t know what will happen \u2014 or even what he wants to see happen on the trade front.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish I could give you a decision,\u201d Lowry said Wednesday night. \u201cAt the end of the day, if something happens, it happens. And if it doesn\u2019t, it doesn\u2019t, right? Everything happens for a reason. I personally, right now, I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deals must be agreed to and reported to the league by 3 p.m. Eastern on Thursday. It may be several more hours after that deadline before things are finalized; the NBA holds what are known as \u201ctrade calls\u201d with the teams involved to ensure that all the financial matters fit within league rules, and there\u2019s often a backlog of those on trade-deadline day.<\/p>\n

Some talks have gone on for a few days, and some players have been on the trading block for a few weeks or more. And in what has become an annual tradition in the social<\/a>-media age, the rumor mill has been cranked up high for some time.<\/p>\n

\u201cGuys have to go through this every single year and it just gets noisier and noisier every year,\u201d Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said. \u201cIt is much different than it was 20 years ago, just the amount of rumors. But that\u2019s part of being a professional in this business, learning how to compartmentalize.\u201d<\/p>\n

The play-in tournament this season means that 10 teams in each conference will have at least one more game to play once the regular season ends, and that will likely shorten the list of teams looking to give up on assets and start thinking about next season. Only three teams \u2014 Detroit, Minnesota and Houston \u2014 are more than five games out of those play-in spots.<\/p>\n

So, while many teams might be looking to be buyers, it\u2019s possible not many will decide to be sellers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to wait and see,\u201d trade candidate Norman Powell of the Raptors said, \u201cjust like everybody else.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
