The NBA trade deadline has come and gone with plenty of big-name players changing teams. Here is a look at everything that happened. 


No deals for Lakers, Knicks

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports the Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks have not made a move with the trade deadline having passed. 

Wojnarowski adds the Lakers will focus on the buyout market.

 

Rockets get Schroder

The Boston Celtics dealt point guard Dennis Schroder to the Houston Rockets in exchange for a package involving Daniel Theis, according to multiple reports. The Rockets also acquired Bruno Fernando and Enes Freedom -- who they plan to buy out -- Wojnarowski adds.

 

Wizards-Mavs pull off stunner

The Washington Wizards acquired forward Kristaps Porzingis from the Washington Wizards in exchange for Spencer Dinwiddie and Davis Bertans, according to multiple reports.

Porzingis was acquired by the Mavs from the New York Knicks in January of 2018 but has struggled to stay on the court alongside Luka Doncic. The 26-year-old is averaging 19.2 points per game on 45.1 per cent shooting and 28.3 per cent from three in 34 games this season.

Dinwiddie is in the first year of a three-year, $54 million deal and has struggled mightily this season, shooting 37.6 per cent from the field and averaging 12.6 points per game. 

Bertans, 29, is averaging 5.7 points in just over 14 minutes per game. He has also struggled since signing a five-year, $80 million in the fall of 2020.


Hornets add to frontcourt

The Charlotte Hornets acquired Montrezl Harrell from the Washington Wizards for Ish Smith and Vernon Carey, according to multiple reports.

Harrell is averaging 14.1 points and 6.7 rebounds in 46 games this season. The Hornets will be his third team since departing the Los Angeles Clippers after winning the Sixth Man of the Year award in 2019-20.

 

Craig heads to Pacers

The Indiana Pacers sent Torrey Craig to the Suns for forward Jalen Smith and a second-round pick, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Craig returns to the Suns after being dealt by them last March. He is averaging 6.5 points on 45.6 per cent shooting this year.

Smith, a top-10 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, has played in just four games so far this season.

 

Celtics pull off another deal

The Boston Celtics traded Josh Richardson to the San Antonio Spurs for Derrick White, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.

The Spurs will be Richardson's fifth team in just under five years. He is averaging 9.7 points and 2.8 rebounds in 44 assists so far this season.

White, 27, is averaging 14.4 points on 42.6 per cent shooting in 49 games so far this season.

 

Nets, Sixers pull off humungous trade

And now for the biggest deal of the day.

The Brooklyn Nets traded James Harden and Paul Millsap to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond and two first-round picks, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojarowski.

This comes after weeks of rumours about a potential superstar swap and a season-long stalement between Simmons and the Sixers that has resulted in the former No. 1 overall pick not playing a game yet this season. Wojnarowski reported Thursday morning that Harden prefered a trade to the 76ers but did not officially make the request because of potential backlash of requesting a trade in consecutive seasons.

The Athletic's Shams Charania reports Harden will opt into his $47.3 million player option on his contract for next season.

Wojnarowski reports Simmons has spoken with Kevin Durant and Nets GM Sean Marks. Simmons is eager to join the Nets and ramp up for a return to play this season.

Harden is currently on the shelf with a hamstring injury and had already been ruled out for Brooklyn's game in Washington against the Wizards Thursday night. That would have been the fourth game in a row he's missed. 

The 32-year-old is averaging 22.5 points per game but is shooting just 41.4 per cent from the field, his lowest total from the field since his rookie season in 2009-10. Brooklyn enters play Thursday having lost nine games in a row and currently sits in the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference.

 

Celtics-Magic swap 

The Boston Celtics dealt guard P.J. Dozier, centre Bol Bol, a future second-round pick and cash to the Orlando Magic for a future second-round pick, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Both Bol and Dozier are out for the season with injuries.

Meanwhile, Yahoo's Chris Haynes reports the Magic are waiving guard E'Twaun Moore.

 

Raptors deal Dragic to Spurs

The Toronto Raptors traded point guard Goran Dragic and their 2022 first-round pick to the San Antonio Spurs in exchange for forward Thaddeus Young, Drew Eubanks and the Detroit Pistons' 2022 second-rounder, according to multiple reports. 

The pick is protected 1-14 and 1-13 in 2023, turning into future seconds. 

According to ESPN's Bobby Marks, the deal gets the Raptors to $3.75 million below the luxury tax and creates Bobby Webster and Co. a $5.3 million trade exception. Eubanks has a $1.9 million non-guaranteed contract for the 2022-23 season.

Dragic started the season-opener for the Raps and went on to play in the first four games but was then benched on Oct. 27 and didn’t appear in a game again until Nov. 13. In late November, Dragic stepped away from the team due to personal reasons and has not played since.

Young is averaging 6.1 points and 3.6 rebounds per game in 26 appearances for the Spurs this season.

 

Blockbuster four-team deal

The Milwaukee Bucks acquired former Toronto Raptors big man Serge Ibaka in a four-team trade, according to multiple reports. 

Marvin Bagley III is heading from the Sacramento Kings to the Detroit Pistons as part of the deal while guard Donte DiVencenzo will end up with the Kings. Trey Lyles and Josh Jackson are heading to the Pistons while Rodney Hood and Semi Ojele are heading to L.A. 

Here is a full breakdown of the deal via ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Kings: Donte DiVincenzo, Trey Lyles and Josh Jackson.
Bucks: Serge Ibaka, two future second-round picks, cash.
Clippers: Rodney Hood, Semi Ojele.
Pistons: Marvin Bagley Jr.
