Rumors are swirling around the league right now as the Feb. 5, 2026, NBA trade deadline is fast approaching. From the sounds of it, The Los Angeles Clippers could be looking for a potential deal with Brooklyn Nets for both Michael Porter Jr. and Cam Thomas.

On the latest episode of “Clutch Scoops,” hosted by Tomer Azarly and Brett Siegel, Siegel claimed that a scout brought up the idea of ​​the Clippers making a trade for Porter and Thomas to him during the NBA Cup.

“I was actually with an Eastern Conference scout in Las Vegas about an idea that was brought up to me about Michael Porter Jr. as well as Cam Thomas about potentially getting them both to the Clippers,” Siegel said. “And seeing what that could do for them. Porter only has two years left on his contract, it would match the contracts of James Harden and Kawhi Leonard. Bring in Cam Thomas, who’s a young, dynamic shooter, either start him or bring him off the bench as a shooter behind James Harden when he’s not playing.”

Siegel continues to paint as it is The Clippers potentially could make a trade for the Nets without having to give up too many assets. It would also be a move that would allow Los Angeles to test and see how Michael Porter and/or Cam Thomas would fit without jeopardizing the team’s long-term outlook due to the contract situation.

Porter, 27, is currently in his first season with the Nets after playing six years with the Denver Nuggets. Through 21 games played so far this season, Porter is having a career year, averaging 25.6 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game while shooting 49.7% from the field and 39.9% from the field.

Meanwhile, Thomas has been a proven scorer throughout his five-year career. The 24-year-old guard is coming back from a hamstring injury and has played in just eight games with Brooklyn this season. He is averaging 21.4 points, 1.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists per contest while shooting 40.2% from the field and 35.6% from the three-point line.
