The trade could still expand, as the deadline would be this Sunday to finalize the details of the deal to avoid any setbacks money-wise. It isn’t atypical for trades of this nature to expand with multiple teams. However, this will be the most expansive case in NBA history. Even after the trade becomes officially, Gregory is likely not done trying to improve the roster next season, with the team still over the second apron.
