NBA Trade Deadline Live Blog: Tracker For All Deals, Rumors

The NBA trade deadline has come and gone, but it was a busy afternoon in the Association.

Here are the trades that went down prior to the 3 p.m. ET deadline:

3:03 p.m.: The Golden State Warriors are trading Cory Joseph to the Indiana Pacers, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania. Indiana will send a second-round pick to Golden State for Joseph and cash.

3 p.m.: After landing a depth guard, the Boston Celtics opted to trade another one.

Boston is trading Dalano Banton to the Portland Trail Blazers for a heavily protected second-round pick, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Yahoo Sports’ Jake Fischer reported its a 2027 top-55 protected selection.

2:56 p.m.: The Boston Celtics beat the NBA trade deadline buzzer despite reports they were done making moves.

The Celtics are acquiring Jaden Springer from the Philadelphia 76ers, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Boston will send a second-round pick to Philadelphia.

The 21-year-old Springer, a first-round pick in 2021, averaged 4.0 points in 12 minutes per game this season.

2:45 p.m.: The San Antonio Spurs are trading Doug McDermott to the Indiana Pacers, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Indiana is sending a second-round pick to San Antonio.

McDermott played three seasons in Indiana before he joined the Spurs in 2021.

1:58 p.m.: The Memphis Grizzlies are expected to acquire Yuta Watanabe from the Phoenix Suns as part of this three-team trade, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania. Phoenix is sending Keita Bates-Diop, Jordan Goodwin and Chimezie Metu to Memphis.

1:35 p.m.: The Philadelphia 76ers are trading Patrick Beverly to the Milwaukee Bucks, as first announced on Barstool Sports’ “Pat Bev Pod.” The Athletic’s Shams Charania added Philadelphia was receiving Cam Payne and a second-round pick.

1:14 p.m.: The Brooklyn Nets are sending Royce O’Neal to the Phoenix Suns, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania. Brooklyn will receive three second-round picks and “salaries,” per Charania.

1:03 p.m.: Grant Williams is being traded by the Dallas Mavericks.

The Mavericks are sending Seth Curry, Williams and a first-round pick to the Charlotte Hornets. Dallas will receive PJ Washington in the deal, as reported by The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

12:44 p.m: The Toronto Raptors are trading Dennis Schroder to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for Spencer Dinwiddie, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. It’s a one-for-one swap of guards.

11:28 a.m.: The Detroit Pistons are finalizing a trade with the New York Knicks, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Knicks are trading Quentin Grimes, Evan Fournier, Ryan Arcidiacono and Malachi Flynn along with two future second-round picks to the Pistons. New York is receiving Alec Burks and Bojan Bogdanovic.

The Knicks are big winners.

Needed more scoring and Bogdanovic and Burks fit perfectly next to the engines Brunson and Randle. Both can get hot. Both can create if needed at some time or another to give Brunson a breather.

Crazy how deep New York is now.

11:18 a.m.: The Washington Wizards are nearing a trade with the Mavericks which will send Daniel Gafford to Dallas for Richaun Holmes and draft compensation, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

11 a.m.: The Philadelphia 76ers are trading Danuel House and a 2024 second-round pick to the Detroit Pistons, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Wojnarowski noted the move will give the Sixers salary cap cushion for the buyout market.

10:59 a.m.: The Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City Thunder reportedly are adding veteran Gordon Hayward. OKC is finalizing a trade that will send Tre Mann and Davis Bertans to the Charlotte Hornets for Hayward, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Hayward averaged 14.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 25 games with the Hornets this season.

10:34 a.m.: Danny Ainge has claimed another first-round pick.

The Utah Jazz are finalizing a trade that will send Kelly Olynyk and Ochai Agbaji to the Toronto Raptors for Kira Lewis, Otto Porter and a 2024 first-round pick, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Olynyk was rumored to be a potential target for the Boston Celtics.

10: 24 a.m.: The Indiana Pacers are trading Buddy Hield to the Philadelphia 76ers for Marcus Morris, Furkan Korkmaz and three second-round picks, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

10 a.m.: After rumors surfaced about the Atlanta Hawks possibly trading Dejounte Murray, Turner Sports’ Chris Haynes issued a follow-up report. Haynes reported how talks with the New Orleans Pelicans have “halted with no progress in sight by the trade deadline.”

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski previously reported New Orleans piqued Atlanta’s interest.

9:54 a.m.: Yahoo Sports’ Jake Fischer on Thursday morning issued a report that will be of interest to Boston Celtics fans.

“Barring a surprise, sounds like Boston is done making moves before today’s 3 p.m. ET trade deadline,” Fischer posted on the X platform.

Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens acquired Xavier Tillman in a trade with the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday. Boston parted ways with Lamar Stevens and two future second-round picks in the deal.

9:50 a.m.: The Detroit Pistons are receiving calls on both Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks, according to Yahoo Sports’ Jake Fischer. The New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers have engaged in discussions with the Pistons.

9:30 a.m.: Dejounte Murray might be the biggest name moved Thursday. The Hawks, at seven games under .500, are clinging to a play-in spot, so they don’t have hopes of a deep playoff run. Selling off Murray — especially given the relative lack of star power available — probably makes sense.

The Hawks have discussed the All-Star guard with the New Orleans Pelicans, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, per RealGM.com.

“I do think there’s another team that has piqued Atlanta’s interest and vice versa, and that’s New Orleans,” Wojnarowski said, as transcribed by RealGM. “There’s been some conversations. I don’t know if they’ve elevated quite yet. I think there maybe could be some more here leading to the trade deadline on a deal that I don’t think would include CJ McCollum. I think it would be Dejounte Murray with him.”

The Lakers and Knicks are also possibilities.

9:25 a.m.: One nugget from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski’s appearance on “SportsCenter” early Thursday morning has to do with Utah Jazz veteran big man Kelly Olynyk. According to Wojnarowski, the Golden State Warriors have had talks with Utah about the 32-year-old.

The Warriors aren’t alone in their reported pursuit, with Olynyk being recently linked to the Celtics in a potential return to Boston. It could be a busy day for Utah, who might move multiple pieces before the buzzer.

9 a.m. ET: It’s NBA trade deadline day, meaning the homestretch in the race for the Larry O’Brien Trophy is rapidly approaching.

Thursday’s 3 p.m. ET deadline, as always, comes with plenty of anticipation, even if this figures to be one of the quieter deadlines in recent memory. A big reason for that is the league remains wide open. There is no clear championship favorite. As of Thursday morning, there are four teams — the Celtics, Nuggets, Bucks and Clippers — who are shorter than 6-1 odds at FanDuel Sportsbook to win the NBA title. There are nine teams with odds of 21-1 or shorter.

The era of the super team seemingly is a thing of the past, which is a good thing. That increased parity, though, makes it a little tougher for teams to punt on the season and sell off pieces completely.

Alas, there have been some noteworthy depth moves in recent days, and we should at least see more of that on Thursday.

We’ll be following it all right here up until 3 p.m.
