The NBA world still is reeling from the biggest trade of the season – and one of the biggest deals in NBA history.
When the Dallas Mavericks sent star guard Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis in a three-team, multi-player, multi-draft pick trade last weekend, the jolt was felt throughout the league.
And before the dust could settle on that, the Golden State Warriors reached an agreement Wednesday night to acquire Jimmy Butler from the Miami Heat in a multi-team trade.
While it’s going to be difficult to top those explosive deals ahead of Thursday’s 3 p.m. ET NBA trade deadline, there are still players on the board who could be moved.
Among other players being discussed as potential trade targets: New Orleans’ Brandon Ingram, Washington’s Jordan Poole, Utah’s Collin Sexton, John Collins and Jordan Clarkson, and Brooklyn’s Cam Johnson.
Now that they have dealt Zach LaVine, will the Bulls dismantle the roster with an additional trade involving Nik Vucevic and/or Lonzo Ball?
Are Milwaukee, Phoenix and Memphis in the mix for a big-time player?
We soon will find out.
Here are the trades that have happened since the start of the 2024-25 NBA season:
