With the NBA trade finally closed we have a record breaking amount of trades and moves over this trade deadline which closed on Thursday February 9th at 3pm eastern time. With so many moves being made it’s virtually impossible to go through all the moves so let’s go through the three teams. I think we’re the biggest winners of the trade deadline this year.
Phoenix Suns
The Phoenix Suns knocked it out of the park with a plethora of trades but the biggest one is obviously Kevin Durant and TJ Warren who was traded to the Suns for Cameron Johnson, Mikal Bridges, Jae Crowder and four future first round picks. The Suns also traded for Darius Bazley in exchange for Dario Saric and a future second round pick.
Los Angeles Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers made some smart and splashy moves as they traded for star guard D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley, Jarred Vanderbilt, Davon Reed and Mo Bamba, the Lakers did shell out a lot of players and picks for players in return like Russell Westbrook, Patrick Beverly, Thomas Bryant and additional draft compensation.
Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors made some moves as they shelled out former number two overall pick in James Wiseman and also some draft compensation as they added some much needed wing depth in Gary Payton ll and Kevin Knox which really solidifies their needs this year to make another championship run.
