Clippers interested in Kyle Lowry, Fred VanVleet
But other teams will pursue Conley too, meaning that the Jazz will likely hold out for the best possible offer until closer to the deadline. So L.A. must scour the rest of the league. League sources say the Clippers are also interested in Kyle Lowry and Fred VanVleet.

Kyle Kuzma and Fred VanVleet are unlikely to sign extensions.
The same with Domantas Sabonis, Dejounte Murray and OG Anunoby this offseason.
Why?
The extension rules are outdated
Here is how to fix them in the next CBA

*IF* the Heat eventually move on from Lowry, they don’t need another starting PG to replace him. Slide Herro over to point and between him, Butler and Bam that’s plenty of playmaking. Surround those three with length and shooting. That’s the formula. – 1:21 PM

Just chatting w/ a buddy about this:
Many of you probably have Siakam, Barnes, FVV, Lowry, DeMar, Kawhi, Bosh & Vince jerseys (& more!)…But what others do you own? And why?

The Heat scored 11 straight points out of the Lowry-Bam PnR to take a late three-point lead against the Pelicans last night. Lowry was really in his bag.
1. Great entry pass to Bam
2. Step-back 3
3. Fake step-back, pivot into bank shot
4. Burst to the basket

It looked like Siakam/VanVleet would have to play 40+ minutes (again) for the Raps to have a chance. Instead, they got to rest for 9 minutes in the 4th as Barnes, Trent, Juancho, Boucher and Achiuwa took a tie game and turned it into a 16-point lead. Great stuff from that unit. – 8:22 PM

More on this storyline
When Kyle Lowry, a potential trade candidate ahead of the upcoming deadline, recently missed a few games with an injury, it was Gabe Vincent who stepped up for Miami, playing some of the best basketball of his career. Over his last seven games, Vincent has been very solid, averaging 15.6 points and 3.0 assists while shooting 38.0 percent on 7.1 nightly three-point attempts. An upper-level backup point guard with defensive tenacity and some tough-shot-making prowess, Vincent should attract interest as an unrestricted free agent this summer, especially now that he’s shown what he’s capable of when given starter minutes. Miami is in a bit of a bind, too, with Max Strus similarly headed to unrestricted free agency this offseason. It’ll be interesting to see who the Heat are more aggressive about keeping. -via HoopsHype / January 23, 2023
