2026 NBA Trade Deadline Tracker: Following all deals, rumors around league

The Celtics traded Xavier Tillman Sr. to the Hornets in order to move below the luxury tax for the 25-26 season, first reported by ESPN.

The Hornets have waived newly acquired guard Mike Conley Jr. after not finding another trade for him before Thursday's deadline. Conley will be a sought-after veteran guard on the market, and a return to the Timberwolves has not been ruled out. 

The Warriors, who traded Jonathan Kuminga, Buddy Hield, and Trayce Jackson-Davis on Wednesday night for Kristaps Porzingis and a 2026 second-round pick, did not make any further changes to their roster before Thursday's trade deadline. 

The Nets didn't find a trade taker for Cam Thomas, and now he's getting waived, per ESPN's Shams Charania. 

While there were a number of blockbuster trades, big names such as Giannis Antetokounmpo, Draymond Green, Ja Morant, Domantas Sabonis, Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan all stayed put. Kawhi Leonard also remains in LA after the Clippers traded James Harden and Ivica Zubac. 

The Hornets are trading Tyus Jones to the Mavericks for Malaki Branham, per ESPN's Shams Charania. Jones had been sent to Charlotte from the Orlando Magic, while Branham was in the Anthony Davis trade. 

The NBA trade deadline is 15 minutes away, and the Bucks are still trying to make a Ja Morant trade with the Grizzlies, per ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel. 

The Bulls have made the earlier Bucks-Suns trade a three-way deal, getting Nick Richards and sending Ousmane Dieng to Milwaukee, per ESPN's Shams Charania. 

The Pacers are acquiring Clippers center Ivica Zubac in a trade, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

The Grizzlies are reportedly acquiring Eric Gordon and a 2032 second-round pick swap from the 76ers, per Shams Charania of ESPN. "The Philadelphia 76ers are trading Eric Gordon and a 2032 second-round pick swap to the Memphis Grizzlies, sources tell ESPN. This gives the 76ers the flexibility to complete conversion of two-way Dominick Barlow," Charania wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

The Nets are reportedly acquiring Josh Minott from the Celtics, per Shams Charania of ESPN..

The Nuggets and Nets are in agreement on a trade, per Shams Charania of ESPN. The Nets are acquiring Hunter Tyson and a 2032 second-round pick for the less favorable of the Clippers/Hawks 2026 second-round picks.

As the Grizzlies continue to try and trade All-Star guard Ja Morant before Thursday's deadline, they are receiving no value in discussions, league sources told ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel. Memphis has been searching for a first-round pick in a potential deal. The Heat, Kings, and Bucks have all shown a level of interest in buying low from Memphis. Morant holds no interest in going to the Kings. 

The Knicks are reportedly acquiring Jose Alvarado from the Pelicans, per Shams Charania of ESPN.

The Jazz are acquiring Chris Boucher from the Celtics, per Shams Charania of ESPN.

The Bucks are trading Cole Anthony and Amir Coffey to the Suns for Nick Richards and Nigel Hayes-Davis, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints is reporting that the Milwaukee Bucks will not trade Giannis Antetokounmpo before Thursday's deadline.

Before Thursday afternoon's trade deadline, the Suns and Nuggets are looking to make salary-dump deals to move below the luxury tax line, league sources told ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel. The Suns have been attempting to trade Nick Richards, while the Nuggets are expected to move Hunter Tyson. 

The Pacers have been linked to Clippers center Ivica Zubac for a while and are still trying to make that trade happen on deadline day, per Jake Fischer. With James Harden gone, will LA pull the trigger? ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel says it's a long shot, with the Clippers looking for multiple unprotected 1st-round picks and young talent. 

The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly acquiring Luke Kennard from the Atlanta Hawks for Gabe Vincent and a second-round pick, per Shams Charania of ESPN.

It doesn't look like the Bucks will be trading Giannis Antetokounmpo before the trade deadline, and Jake Fischer reports they're still engaging the Grizzlies on Ja Morant. 

The Bulls are continuing their overhaul by sending Ayo Dosunmu and Julian Phillips to the Timberwolves for Rob Dillingham, Leonard Miller and 4 2nd-round picks, per ESPN's Shams Charania. Minnesota has been trying to land Giannis Antetokounmpo, but this trade could signal the end of that chase. 

The Mavericks are unlikely to trade Kyrie Irving before Thursday's deadline. Daniel Gafford remains the team's most serious trade candidate following Wednesday's Anthony Davis deal, but an injury could prove to be an obstacle.

2/4/26 — Anthony Davis to Wizards? Giannis next? Latest NBA intel w/ @TomerAzarly & @BrettSiegelNBA https://t.co/q5u711kP4Z

— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) February 4, 2026

The Kings and Heat are the two teams that keep being named as Ja Morant trade suitors, but ClutchPoints' Tomer Azarly says the Grizzlies guard doesn't want to go to Sacramento. 

The Knicks have agreed to trade Guerschon Yabusele to the Bulls for Dalen Terry, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. 

The Warriors came to the conclusion that the Bucks will not be trading Giannis Antetokounmpo before Thursday's trade deadline, which led Golden State to finalize a deal for Kristaps Porzingis with the Hawks, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Although the Warriors made an aggressive push for Giannis, centered around multiple draft picks, Draymond Green, Brandin Podziemski, and Kuminga, the Bucks made it clear on Wednesday this was not a trade package they would be accepting, sources told ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel. 

The Warriors have traded Trayce Jackson-Davis to the Raptors for a 2026 second-round pick (via the Lakers), first reported by ESPN. Toronto adds key frontcourt depth while remaining under the tax line, and the Warriors add an extra draft pick for the 2026 NBA Draft. 

The Warriors have traded Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield to the Hawks for veteran big man Kristaps Porzingis, league sources confirmed to ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel. Porzingis is a player the Warriors have long targeted, and they immediately pivoted to this deal before Thursday with the Hawks after their pursuit of Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo fell through. Porzingis is in the final year of his contract for $30.7 million and will be an unrestricted free agent in the summer. ESPN was first to report the details of the trade. 

The Magic have traded veteran point guard Tyus Jones and two second-round picks to the Charlotte Hornets for cash considerations, per ESPN's Shams Charania. Leading up to the trade deadline, ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel reported how Orlando was looking to trade either Tyus Jones or Goga Bitadze to move below the luxury tax for the 2025-26 season. By making this trade with the Hornets, the Magic move roughly $1.5 million below the tax line and accomplish their one goal before the deadline. 

After making the Darius Garland-James Harden trade, the Cavs are now shipping Lonzo Ball and a pair of 2nd-round picks to the Jazz, who are trading Jock Landale to the Hawks, per ESPN's Shams Charania. 

The Clippers have finally traded Chris Paul, sending him to the Raptors in a 3-team deal involving the Nets, per ESPN's Shams Charania. Toronto isn't going to require CP3 to report to the team and will look to flip him elsewhere or just waive him. The Raptors are sending Ochai Agbaji and a 2032 2nd-rounder plus cash to the Nets in the deal. Toronto will duck the tax with this trade. 

The Bulls continue to reshuffle their roster, sending Coby White and Mike Conley Jr. to the Hornets, per ESPN's Shams Charania. It's part of a multi-team deal also involving the Thunder, per ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel. 

• Bulls get: Collin Sexton, Ousmane Dienge, 3 2nd-round picks
• Hornets get: Coby White, Mike Conley Jr.
• Thunder get: Mason Plumlee

The Thunder will waive Plumlee in order to complete the Jared McCain trade with the 76ers. 

The Thunder are acquiring Jared McCain from the 76ers for a 1st-round pick and a trio of 2nd-round picks. ESPN's Shams Charania first reported the news, and ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel has the details on the picks and also reports that Ousmane Dieng is heading to the Hornets for Mason Plumlee, with Plumlee ultimately getting waived. This is all happening alongside news that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be out until after the All-Star break with an abdominal injury. 

OKC is trading the following picks to the 76ers for McCain:

HOU 2026 1st
OKC/HOU/IND/MIA 2027 2nd
2028 MIL 2nd
2028 OKC 2nd https://t.co/YMMsPc0lvL

The Mavericks have agreed to trade multi-time All-Star Anthony Davis, D'Angelo Russell, Jaden Hardy, and Dante Exum to the Wizards for Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Marvin Bagley III, Malaki Branham, two first-round picks, and three future second-round picks, first reported by ESPN.

The Bulls have been active at the trade deadline, already making a trio of deals by Tuesday. One of those trades was sending Nikola Vucevic to the Celtics, but according to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line, Chicago first offered Vucevic and a 1st-round pick to Cleveland for Jarrett Allen. That was declined. Fischer also reports that the Bulls and Pacers had conversations about an Ayo Dosunmu-Bennedict Mathurin swap, but it's unclear if that's on the table now after acquiring Jaden Ivey. 

Elsewhere, ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel reports the Bulls still have interest in Pelicans center Yves Missi, which makes sense after the Vucevic trade. Finally, Marc Stein reports Tari Eason trade efforts are still being rebuffed by the Rockets, who have been linked to guards such as Dosunmu, Coby White and Tre Jones. 

Amid rumored interest in Bulls guard Coby White and potentially looking to move Dorian Finney-Smith before the trade deadline, the Rockets are said to be content with their roster as is. Even though this team needs another frontcourt talent in the wake of Steven Adams' season-ending injury, the Rockets will only be looking to make moves with players involving minimum-like contracts. Tari Eason has come up in countless trade rumors, with several teams showing interest in him, but league sources have been adamant that he will not be traded before Thursday.

Amid interest from a handful of teams leading up to the trade deadline, the Nets are prepared to keep Michael Porter Jr. for the remainder of the 2025-26 season and revisit trade talks in the offseason, according to ClutchPoints' Erik Slater & Brett Siegel. 

The Raptors and Kings continue to search for a third team willing to take on Jakob Poeltl's contract in a deal that would send Domantas Sabonis to Toronto and RJ Barrett to Sacramento, league sources told ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel. 

League sources have indicated that the Heat have already turned their attention away from Giannis Antetokounmpo to pursue Ja Morant, according to ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel. Morant's value has hit an all-time low, and with the Grizzlies attempting to move him for any value before Thursday's deadline, there is a belief that the Heat will attempt to pull off a similar trade to what the Wizards and Hawks agreed to for Trae Young. 

The Timberwolves are doing everything they can to try and create a multi-team framework to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Bucks, league sources told ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel. Jaden McDaniels, Julius Randle, and Naz Reid have all been discussed in an effort for Minnesota to acquire the assets needed to make a trade. Still, the majority of the league doubts Milwaukee to agree to a deal before Thursday's deadline. 

In an interview with Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo opened up on his situation as the trade rumors swirl around him. While he declared his deep love for Milwaukee, he also acknowledged the disconnect between where he and the franchise are at, leading to a possible exit. A new Instagram post also created a stir:

The Lakers currently aren't a threat to trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo, but Marc Stein of The Stein Line reports they'd be a "very viable" destination in the offseason if The Greek Freak isn't traded before the deadline. LA will have more assets available to trade in the summer and would make a push. 

The Bulls, Pistons and Timberwolves got together for a multi-team trade, with Jaden Ivey and Mike Conley Jr. going to Chicago (Conley will not be staying) and Kevin Huerter and Dario Saric going to Detroit. Minnesota got cash considerations in the trade as part of maneuvering for its Giannis Antetokounmpo pursuit. ClutchPoints' Bulls reporter Zachary Draves grades the deal for all three teams.

The Bulls and Celtics made an eye-opening trade, swapping Nikola Vucevic and Anfernee Simons. 2nd-round picks exchanged hands as well. ClutchPoints' Celtics reporter Daniel Donabedien grades the deal, while Bulls reporter Zachary Draves writes on Vucevic getting his wish by finally getting to a contender. 

The Cavs broke up their Core Four by sending Darius Garland and a 2nd-round pick to the Clippers for James Harden. ClutchPoints' Cavs reporter Spencer Davies grades the deal, and while he doesn't give it a failing grade, it's close. 

Following a 113-94 loss at home to the 76ers on Tuesday night, Warriors forward Draymond Green reflected on 13-year run with the organization amid his name continuing to come up in trade discussions for Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. "A lot of people want to know if I am upset about it. I'm not at all... If that's what's best for the organization, that's what's best for the organization," Green told reporters. "I've been here for 13.5 years. That's probably longer than 98% of NBA players... I don't know if it ends at 13.5 (years), but if it does, what a f***ing run it's been." 

With the NBA on Bucks watch, league sources with direct knowledge of the situation told ClutchPoints that 2x MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo has joining Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves at the top of his list. The Timberwolves are aggressively pushing to get a deal done before Thursday's trade deadline. 

The LA Clippers are finalizing an agreement to trade 11x NBA All-Star and former league MVP James Harden to the Cleveland Cavaliers for 2x All-Star guard Darius Garland and a 2026 second-round pick, league sources confirmed to ClutchPoints' Tomer Azarly and Brett Siegel. Harden will join his fifth team in six seasons, as the Clippers find their point guard of the future in Garland. This trade comes days after the Cavs moved De'Andre Hunter to the Sacramento Kings for Keon Ellis and Dennis Schroder. Cleveland continues to search for ways to improve their roster around Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, and now the newly acquired Harden. 

ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel reported the Warriors were open to trading Draymond Green as a way to get Giannis Antetokounmpo, and ESPN's Anthony Slater confirmed Tuesday that Green is involved in trade talks. 

The Bulls made their second trade of the day, sending Nikola Vucevic and a 2nd-round pick to the Celtics for Anfernee Simons and a 2nd-round pick. Chicago acquired Jaden Ivey and Mike Conley Jr. in an earlier three-team trade. Will the Bulls look to trade Coby White next? 

ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel and Tomer Azarly break down the Jaren Jackson Jr. blockbuster trade and much more on a new Clutch Scoops: 

2/3/26 — Jackson Jr. traded? James Harden next? Latest NBA intel w/ @TomerAzarly & @BrettSiegelNBA https://t.co/Jezmx8DgP4

The Jazz pulled off a stunner by acquiring Jaren Jackson Jr. from the Grizzlies in an eight-player trade that also sends a trio of 1st-round picks to Memphis.  

• ClutchPoints' Grizzlies reporter Chris Dodson hands Memphis a "barely passable" grade for the trade
• Full trade grades for Jazz, Grizzlies
•  

In the immediate aftermath of their acquisition of Jaren Jackson Jr. from the Grizzlies, the Jazz remain active on the trade market, league sources told ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel. Not only is Utah exploring opportunities to expand their trade with Memphis, but Jusuf Nurkic's expiring $19.3 million contract is also being shopped in discussions around the league. Amid ongoing trade talks, the Jazz will not be listening to offers for center Walker Kessler, sources said.

The Bulls, Pistons and Timberwolves just got together on a three-team trade, per ESPN's Shams Charania. 

• Bulls get: Jaden Ivey, Mike Conley Jr. 
• Pistons get: Kevin Huerter, 2026 1st-round pick swap with Timberwolves
• Timberwolves save money and creates more space for Giannis trade pursuit

As the Raptors and Kings continue to discuss potential pathways to a trade involving All-Star Domantas Sabonis, the Grizzlies have emerged as a potential suitor to help facilitate such a trade by taking on Jakob Poeltl's contract, league sources told ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel. The Grizzlies recently created a $28.8 million TPE by trading Jaren Jackson Jr. to the Jazz, an exception that could be utilized to absorb Poeltl's contract. 

The Utah Jazz are acquiring Jaren Jackson Jr. in a trade with the Memphis Grizzlies. Shams Charania of ESPN first reported the news. 

• Jazz get: Jaren Jackson Jr., John Konchar, Jock Landale, Vince Williams Jr.
• Grizzlies get: Walter Clayton Jr., Kyle Anderson, Taylor Hendricks, Georges Niang, 3 1st-round picks, $28.8M trade exception

As the Raptors continue to discuss the potential of trading for Kings star big man Domantas Sabonis, a major hold-up in trade talks has been Jakob Poeltl's contract, league sources told ClutchPoints. While the two sides have the framework of a deal that also involves RJ Barrett and Ochai Agbaji, the Raptors big man would need to be sent to a third team willing to take on his contract. League sources have downplayed the possibility of a team taking on the remaining $103.5 million on Poeltl's contract through the 2029-30 season. 

As of Tuesday morning, the Bucks have yet to signal that they will in fact part ways with 2x MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo before Thursday's trade deadline. While Milwaukee continues to gauge interest and field offers from teams, there is a growing skepticism building around the league  that Giannis will be traded right now. Many believe this will carry over to the offseason, where the Knicks and Timberwolves will be at the forefront of conversations for Antetokounmpo. The Warriors, Heat, and Timberwolves have been at the forefront of conversations with the Bucks over the last week. 

After trading De'Andre Hunter to the Kings, more moves are on the horizon for the Cavaliers before Thursday's trade deadline. Aside from ongoing discussions with the Clippers regarding a potential James Harden-Darius Garland swap, the Cavs have also been extremely active attempting to trade veteran point guard Lonzo Ball, league sources told ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel. The Stein Line reported LaMelo Ball's Hornets as a possible trade suitor for Lonzo. Cleveland is currently $13.8M above the second apron and is trying to move below this mark immediately. Jarrett Allen has also come up in trade conversations around the league, according to Sam Amick of The Athletic.

The Hawks remain interested in pursuing Mavericks All-Star big man Anthony Davis before the trade deadline, but the two sides have yet to engage in trade conversations over the last week, league sources told ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel. However, Atlanta views Davis as a buy-low candidate and will not part with significant assets for him. The expiring contracts of Kristaps Porzingis ($30.7M) and Luke Kennard ($11M), along with a draft pick, is perceived to be the highest offer Atlanta will make. 

ClutchPoints' Cavs reporter Spencer Davies breaks down the bombshell Darius Garland-James Harden trade rumors and explains why it would be a mistake. Why would Cleveland do this after investing so much time in the Core Four? 

"Somebody in the business told me this isn't an all-in move. It's more of an all-out admission," Davies writes. "And it reeks of desperation."

ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel has reported on immense trade interest in Dallas Mavericks forward Naji Marshall, but he'd prefer to stay with the Mavs and play the rest of his career with Cooper Flagg. Marshall spoke with DLLS' Ron Harrod Jr. and said he believes Flagg can "create history" in Dallas. 

The Lakers don't see themselves as a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade suitor right now, according to Jake Fischer. Meanwhile, the Nets haven't called the Bucks yet about a trade despite plenty of speculation, according to Brian Lewis of the New York Post. 

Damian Lillard is pushing for a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade to the Blazers so they could have a Bucks reunion, according to Jake Fischer, but The Greek Freak doesn't seem interested.

The Warriors are making an all-in trade push for Giannis Antetokounmpo, but Jake Fischer of The Stein Line reports rumblings that The Greek Freak might not be as excited about the possibility of teaming up with Stephen Curry as previously believed. Why? "Antetokounmpo could be turned off by the idea of joining an older team and/or facing the sort of criticism that Kevin Durant continues to absorb to this day about teaming up with Curry," writes Fischer. 

The Cavs may be at the forefront of the James Harden trade discussions, but The Stein Line reports the Timberwolves and Hawks as two other teams Harden has some level of interest in. ClutchPoints also reported on the Wolves being involved. However, it appears Minnesota is more focused on the Giannis Antetokounmpo chase, while Atlanta doesn't seem to be a serious suitor. 

While the Clippers and Cavs have had trade talks about a James Harden-Darius Garland swap, LA doesn't want to include any extra draft capital alongside Harden, according to ClutchPoints' Tomer Azarly and Brett Siegel.
