No trades Tuesday and while the chatter increased incrementally, it's been a slow deadline week. We'll see if that holds through the deadline.

UPDATED: 11:15 p.m. ET

  • Ken Berger of CBSSports.com with some updates: The Mavs have made Rodrigue Beaubois and Dominique Jones available, as well as Brandan Wright, but only for a pick. J.J. Barea, Luke Ridnour and Derrick Williams are being shopped by the Wolves.

UPDATED 7:57 p.m. ET

  • Kings F Thomas Robinson, Tyler Honeycutt, Francisco Garcia and a future second rounder have been traded to the Houston Rockets for Patrick Patterson, Cole Aldrich and Toney Douglas.
  • Rockets F Marcus Morris has been traded to the Suns for a future second-round pick.

UPDATED: 4:40 p.m. ET

  • Ken Berger of CBSSports.com: "Boston's signing of Terrence Williams has not ended their pursuit of a trade for a guard. Charlotte's Gerald Henderson is one possibility."

UPDATED: 3:11 p.m. ET

  • ESPN.com reports that the Wolves and Jazz have talked a Paul Millsap for Derrick Williams swap.
  • USA Today reports the Bucks aren't taking offers involving Ersan Ilyasova or Brandon Jennings.
  • Ken Berger of CBSSports.com: "I'm told the 'right deal' for Rondo would be: Dwight Howard, Chris Paul or a massive haul of assets like Denver got for Melo. Not happening."

UPDATED: 8:00 a.m. ET

Hawks GM Danny Ferry has told prospective trade partners he is not interested in taking back future salary and he won't do a deal "just to do it," one person familiar with the discussions said. The Hawks have been in conversations with many teams about the 27-year-old forward, with the most persistent conversations happening with the Suns, Bucks, Celtics and Nets.

  • Sporting News reports that the Celtics could look to add Ramon Sessions at the deadline if they opt not to go for the blow-up and instead make a run with what they have this season:
But keep an eye on Boston making a play for Charlotte guard Ramon Sessions. Sessions plays terrible defense, but he is a solid and versatile offensive guard, and with Leandro Barbosa also on the not-coming-back list, the Celtics could use Sessions.
Sources confirm the Hornets would be interested in any trade deal with the Golden State Warriors that would include second-year shooting guard Klay Thompson. But sources indicate the Warriors are reluctant to part ways with Thompson, whom they feel is a young emerging star.
  • Yahoo reports that the Rockets are willing to trade Terrence Jones.
  • The Arizona Republic reports that the Suns have discussed sending Marcin Gortat and P.J. Tucker to the Thunder for Kendrick Perkins, Jeremy Lamb, and a pick.
  • The Bobcats are reportedly offering up Gerald Henderson, who's a quality young guard. They might be able to move Ben Gordon if Henderson's included.
  • The Philadelphia Inquirer cites a source within the Sixers indicating that Evan Turner is not available for trades. We're not buying it, this isn't the first time he's been mentioned, but there it is.
