15 deals were made, the Warriors traded 2 for 1, and the Lakers and Clippers got nothing
On February 9, Beijing time, the NBA trade deadline has passed, and many teams are also crazy to make 15 deals overnight, some of which have successfully achieved reinforcements, and some teams are to completely rot. Of course, there are some teams that didn't do anything, and there were a lot of rumors, but they didn't expect to end up with nothing, including the Los Angeles Lakers.
The first trade came from the 76ers, sending Morris Jr., Korkmaz and three second-round picks to the Pacers in exchange for Hield to make up for the depth of the backcourt. The momentum of the 76ers has been very sluggish recently, mainly due to Embiid's injury, which has fallen to fifth place in the East. And before the trade deadline, in addition to getting Hield, they also sent Beverley and House away, all of which were petty fights, trying to make a change in the roster and at the same time allow the team to successfully avoid taxes.
After that, other teams also began to make moves, among which the Thunder achieved reinforcements, brought in Hornets veteran Hayward, and the team did not lose much, just using Trey Mann, Bertans, Micic and two second-round picks.
The Suns have also strengthened their team, sending Metu, Goodwin, Yuta Watanabe and Diop and three second-round picks, getting Royce O'Neal and Roddy, and successfully improving the team's forward line, which is still very good.
The Mavericks also strengthened their roster, trading with the Wizards for Gafford to improve the interior line, and then used Gwee, Curry Jr. and the 2027 top-two pick to protect the first-round pick and get PJ Washington from the Hornets.
The Knicks in the East are also a bumper harvest, and they reached a six-man deal directly with the Pistons, and the Knicks sent Grimes, Fournier, Flynn, Alcidiacono and two second-rounders, and got Bogdanovic and Burks, which is definitely worth it. Except for Grimes, none of the other players can enter the rotation, in exchange for two strong players, the strength of the Knicks is really not to be underestimated.
The others were all minor fights, and the Warriors made a buzzer-beating trade, which was also the 15th trade on the deadline. The Warriors sent Joseph and some cash to the Pacers in exchange for a second-round pick. In this 2-for-1 trade, the Warriors directly reversed $5.8 million, but also saved $3.75 million in luxury tax, and also freed up a spot that could be replenished in the buyout market.
The two teams in Los Angeles didn't get anything at the trade deadline, and they didn't have much leverage for the Clippers to send Tucker and Hyland away, but unfortunately the market was not good, and in the end it was also unsuccessful. There have been a lot of scandals on the Lakers' side, and Murray has been linked with the Hawks, as well as fierce players like Royce O'Neal, but unfortunately they have not been able to do so, and now they can only focus on the buyout market.
