Trade Deadline LIVE, the NBA Trade in Real Time
The Trade Deadline has arrived. Here’s a recap of everything that’s happened in the last few hours of NBA trade action
We’re here! After the Trae Young trade, the NBA market has officially come alive. Below is a summary of the most important trades from the final hours leading up to the 2026 NBA Trade Deadline.
Tuesday, February 3, 2026
Vucevic to the Boston Celtics
The Chicago Bulls are sending Nikola Vucevic and a second-round pick to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Anfernee Simons and a second-round pick.
After years of rumors, Vucevic is leaving Chicago to strengthen the Celtics’ frontcourt.
Jaren Jackson Jr. to the Utah Jazz
A blockbuster deal between the Jazz and Grizzlies sees Utah land Jaren Jackson Jr. as the new cornerstone of the frontcourt, while also adding Konchar, Landale, and Vince Williams Jr. to boost depth and flexibility. The idea is clear: raise the defensive ceiling and secure a technical reference point to build around.
Memphis instead chooses a more future-oriented path (they now own 13 first-round picks over the next seven years), acquiring three first-rounders and several rotation-ready players such as Kyle Anderson, Hendricks, and Niang. A move that signals a recalibration of the project, focused on assets and a deeper rotation.
Bulls, Timberwolves and Pistons complete three-team trade
A three-team deal between Chicago, Minnesota, and Detroit reshapes the balance among the three franchises. The Bulls acquire Jaden Ivey and Mike Conley Jr., while the Pistons receive Kevin Huerter and Dario Saric. Detroit also secures a protected 2026 first-round pick swap from Minnesota, adding further value to a move that shakes up the landscape for all three teams involved.

Krejci to the Blazers, Atlanta stockpiles assets
The Blazers add Vit Krejci, a young and versatile perimeter player, mainly useful for bringing structure and decision-making to the second unit. A low-risk move, aimed more at development than immediate impact.
Atlanta cashes in by moving a marginal rotation piece, receiving Duop Reath and two future second-round picks – another sign of careful asset management without reshaping the core of the roster.

Schroder and Keon Ellis to the Cavs
The Cavs take advantage of a three-team trade to add Dennis Schroder and Keon Ellis, increasing depth and options in the backcourt. A targeted move designed to cover multiple needs without giving up key pieces.
Sacramento lands De’Andre Hunter, a wing with experience and physicality, while Chicago brings in Saric and two second-round picks, operating in line with a medium-term strategy.
Wednesday, January 7, 2026
Trae Young to the Wizards
Washington makes a splash by acquiring Trae Young, the new face of the franchise and an unquestioned offensive focal point. A decision that reshapes the team’s identity and accelerates the rebuild around a proven star.
Atlanta responds by bringing in CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert, opting for a more balanced backcourt and less reliance on a single creator. A move that reshuffles hierarchies and playing style, with a greater distribution of responsibilities.
