According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the Golden State Warriors and the Philadelphia 76ers made a trade which sends Glen Robinson III and Alec Burks to Philly.
On the other end, the Dub Nation will get a 2020 second-round pick via Dallas Mavs, 2021 second-rounder via Denver, and 2022 second-round pick via Toronto Raptors.
Philly All In
This trade is perfect for the 76ers who now have much better shooting in their second unit, and with both Burks and Robinson their depth will be equal to the one Raptors had last year once winning the championship.

Meanwhile, the Warriors are filling their purse with second-round picks which will be valuable for them in creating a team once Klay and Steph come back. According to some, those would be a great asset in trade talks including D’Angelo Russell’s potential move.
Kings Working on Bogdanovic’s Long-Term Deal
Also, the Sacramento Kings are getting near to creating a situation for signing a long-term deal with Bogdan Bogdanovic. The Kings traded Dewayne Dedmond to Atlanta Hawks, along with two second-round picks and in return got Jabari Parker and Alex Len. The latter one’s contract is expiring at the end of the season, while Parker has a player option.

Now, this creates between $9 and $13 million of space in the salary cap for the Kings, which is what they need to keep Bogi around. After being a part of numerous trade stories over the last two months, the Serbian sharpshooter declared himself eager to stay in the capital of California, rather than going somewhere else.
Dedmond signed a three-year extension worth $40 million with the Kings last July. Yet, he publicly demanded a trade in December, not being happy with his current situation in the team.
The Hawks will have more than $45 million of cap space in 2020/21 after this deal, because Dedmon has $1 million guaranteed in that season.
Miami Chasing Iguodala and Gallinari
A three-way deal between the Miami Heat, Oklahoma City Thunder and the Memphis Grizzlies which would see Danilo Gallinari and Andre Iguodala in Florida still isn’t confirmed, because all three teams are doing the math for making it possible.
It appears that the Heat will try to go for the title already this season, and also, their 2021 salary cap space will be preserved for one massive deal. Those talks about them going after Giannis are seemingly true after this trade.
According to this deal, they would get Iguodala to sign a two-year $30 million contract and that allows the Heat to have the above-mentioned cap flexibility.
Here's one key to getting this three-team deal done and Gallinari to Miami, league sources tell ESPN: Can OKC get Miami to lift the protections on a 2023 first-round pick the Heat owe the Thunder? The pick was originally protected in the top 14. https://t.co/6FMHjDieKI

Meanwhile, Justise Winslow will be leaving Philly for Memphis. The Grizzlies have also signed a three-year extension with Dillon Brooks worth $35 million. That strengthens their talented core which turned out to provide results much earlier than anyone expected.
The Grizzlies were looking for a way to trade Iguodala and also to prevent the possible negative atmosphere around the team, appearing after Brooks called out Iggy on social networks for not wanting to play for the franchise from Tennessee.
The trade deadline is 3 pm ET this Thursday. No doubt we will see a lot more transactions up until that point.
