NBA trade deadline winners and losers: Butler, Lakers, Mavs, Grizzlies

Play

Until the last date of the NBA trade, the talks were being discussed that it could be a quiet period compared to the previous season as teams were concerned about paying salaries and luxury tax.

Well, when Luka Donak and Anthony Davis were traded, the theory was broken. It was the beginning of a trade heartbeat that included big names, all -stars and NBA Champions.

These are some of the teams changing teams, besides Donak and Davis: Daron Fox, Jimmy Butler, Zach Lavin, Kyle Kozma, Brandon Ingram and Khoras Middleton.

How to pay for the teams involved will be the rest of the season and beyond, but it was an amazing and thrilling week for the NBA transaction.

Let’s see the winners of the last date of trade and the losers:

NBA Trade Deadline Winner and Loser

Conquest

Los Angeles Leakers

The Lackers gained Star Guard Luka Donak and Center Mark Williams, which gave them the ability to win and prepare the future without Labon James. He has an MVP candidate in Donak, and when Healthy, Williams, Anthony Davis’s place, a standard big man who will work well with Donak and James in pick and roll sets. It is often not that the team can get a star like Donak, and Lakers draws it into one of the most amazing trade in NBA history.

Luka Donak

Donak ended with a franchise that has excellent reputation for taking care of its stars, and the support for Donak has been high. Now, Donak has the responsibility to prove that he can provide a competent defense, remain in a large physical state, and is limited about committing his complaints by providing his elite crime. It has to do this work in the dazzling of these Hollywood lights and all that comes with it.

San Antonio Aspers/Daron Fox

Springs sought a long -term response to the point guard for the growing star Victor Vimbanma, as well as the Point Guard, and wanted to play for Fox Asper. Both found what they wanted. Fox had 24 points, 13 Assists, five wabounds and three steels in his debut film, becoming the first player in the franchise history, which helped 10 with at least 20 points and 10. Wembniam had 24 points and 12 ribbounds. Make this double combination and defense pressure.

Jimmy Butler

Butler Miami Heat’s president and basketball Hall of Famer Pete rally went to Monday from Monday and was forced to go out of his way. It was without any inconvenience, including financial losses due to the three team suspension issued in January, but Butler found one of the two teams for which he wanted to play. It has to play with Stef Curry and with an organization that wants to win another championship while Curry is still an all -star. In addition, Butler should have a growing aggressive role in the heat of the heat. Butler also agreed to extend the fighters to pay $ 121 million in two season in 2025-26 and 2026-27.

D Andrea Hunter

D Andrea Hunter down -500.500 Atlanta goes from Hawks to 41-10 Cleveland Cavaliers-which does not go from anywhere in the east and the title contender.

Losers

Dallas Morex

There has been a PR nightmare for trading donkes, which offends the team’s fans and Donak fans. Even if it ends the right step for Dallas, it is still not an idea today. Vitual is clear. Choosing the first round for Davis, Max Christie and Donak can end work for Mavs. But it is doing poorly in a public opinion court today. It doesn’t matter how the mavs try to rotate it, the answers have been unsatisfactory for the fans.

Memefs Griezis

Memphis, second in the Western Conference on 35-16, tried to take one step, which approached the first position Oklahoma City. Despite the efforts of Greeslez, there is nothing of substance. He tried to create some roster flexibility by trading Marcus Smart in Washington, but Grezlez also had to include the first round of 2025 in the trade. Yes, this is going to be late, however, Gryslez has later shown a look to find talent in the draft (Dysmond becomes, 30th in 2020, and two -day Jillon Wells, 39th Chen).

Phoenix Sons

Sons wanted to do a big trade and improve the roster so they could get up in the standing and try to take a deep run in the playoffs with Kevin Doront and Divin Booker. They ran into the snaps. Either Bradley Bell would not forgive her trade clause or if she was willing to do so, teams felt reluctant to take the remaining two years and $ 110.7 million on the Bailey deal. He finished the business of Charlotte Joseph Norikk and one of the first round Chens for Codi Martin, Vaseliji Micke and other rounds. Don’t be surprised if the Durant becomes restless and wants out of Phoenix.

New Orleans Pelican

Pelican did not really do anything wrong in the deadline by trading Brandon Ingram and Daniel Thesis. Their purpose was to avoid luxury tax, and they did it with trade. The franchise has decided that it is no longer the time to spend a large amount of money on the new contract of Ingram. Reasonable decisions. However, Zion Williamson has not been able to maximize the Pelican injury, and the injured have stopped New Orleans from seeing what they can do with Williamson, Angram and Dijuan Murray. He did not share the court for a second in this season.

Khris Middleton

It has nothing to do with a Middletan player or person. However, that is the opposite of D Andrea Hunter. The NBA (Washington Wizards) team from the Middleton Championship team (Melwaki Box).
