With the trade deadline just one day away, TSN.ca keeps track of the latest rumours from around the NBA up until Thursday's 3 p.m. ET cutoff.
The New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers have had "exploratory conversations" about forward Kyle Kuzma, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Kuzma, 24, has seen his production drop this season after the addition of Anthony Davis to the Lakers.
Kuzma has started in just six of the 39 games he's suited up for this year, after starting in 105 games over his first two seasons.
His 13.0 points and 4.2 rebounds per game are both career lows, and he's shooting just .432 from the field - also a career low.
Still, the Michigan native has value, and could net the Lakers a better asset as they look to make a deep run in the playoffs for the first time since winning a championship in 2010.
For New York, Kuzma would join a young core that includes Canadian RJ Barrett, as the organization looks to climb out of the NBA's basement.
Holiday Staying Put ?
The New Orelans Pelicans are content with Jrue Holiday staying on their roster through this Thursday's trade deadline, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Wojnarowski adds that, "The kind of overwhelming offer it would take to pry Holiday hasn’t surfaced in the marketplace."
Holiday, 29, has spent seven seasons with the Pelicans and was a key component in their 2018 first-round sweep of the Portland Trail Blazers.
In 42 games this season, the shooting guard is averaging 19.4 points, 6.3 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game.
Currently the Pelicans sit 20-31, five games out of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Parsons Out
The Atlanta Hawks are waiving Chandler Parsons and his expiring $25.1M contract to create roster space to complete Tuesday night's four-team trade, according to Wojnarowski.
Parsons has been away from the team while dealing with injuries suffered in a car crash that attorneys believe has threatened his ability to play at all going forward.
