There’s nothing quite like a cover-of-darkness, nobody-saw-this-coming blockbuster with two of basketball’s 10-best players to jolt the NBA’s trade season into action.
The Dallas Mavericks’ decision to send superstar Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis and a first-round draft pick early Sunday stunned team executives across the league. It also left one obvious question ahead of Thursday’s 3 p.m. ET trade deadline: Who’s next?
The Sacramento Kings followed about 20 hours later with a somewhat-less-surprising move, trading De’Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs in a three-team deal that also netted the Kings Zach LaVine from the Chicago Bulls. In the span of less than a day, four current 20-point scorers had been dealt ahead of the league deadline — the most in NBA history, according to ESPN Research.
Then on Wednesday night, Jimmy Butler finally got his wish to get out of Miami. The Heat struck a deal to send him to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Andrew Wiggins and others.
Those almost certainly won’t be the final trades this week. We’ll recap each here as they happen.
