The NBA trade deadline is 3 p.m. ET Thursday, but the league didn’t waste any time getting the party started.

The Dallas Mavericks shocked the world by dealing Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night in a deal that included Anthony Davis. The Sacramento Kings did what they had to do by sending former All-Star De’Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs in a three-team deal Sunday night.

Many speculated this year’s trade deadline would be difficult because of new CBA restrictions that greatly limit the flexibility of teams over the luxury tax, but monster headlines are still being made.

And the ongoing Jimmy Butler saga continues to evolve in Miami, with the latest reporting centering around his unwillingness to sign an extension with the Golden State Warriors, who had shown interest in acquiring the six-time All-Star.

When will the next blockbuster deal go down?

Sixers ship KJ Martin, 2 2nd-round picks to Pistons

The 76ers are shedding salary, trading forward KJ Martin to the Pistons along with two second-round picks, reports the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Keith Pompey.

Martin, 24, has a salary of $7.9 million for this season and $8 million for 2025-26 and Detroit will get the two second-rounders in 2027 and 2031for adding that money to their $14 million in salary cap space.

Warriors pursuing Kevin Durant, maybe in multi-team deal that puts Jimmy Butler with Suns: Report

The Warriors have been seeking a star to boost their roster and it could lead to a reunion with Kevin Durant, reports ESPN’s Brian Windhorst.

Windhorst explained on “Get Up” Wednesday morning that the Suns want to shake up a team that’s 25-24 and can’t trade Bradley Beal.

However, Durant going to the Warriors and the Suns shedding his salary could require a very complicated deal that involves four or five teams and multiple players. And by the end of it, Jimmy Butler might end up in Phoenix.

Luka Dončić says playing with LeBron James is a “dream come true”

Luka Dončić was introduced on Tuesday as the newest member of the Los Angeles Lakers, following Saturday night’s shocking trade from the Dallas Mavericks that shook the NBA.

Sitting on a dias alongside Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka, Dončić said he would “take the high road” in response to comments about him from the Mavericks after the trade was made.

“At some point, I knew this was going to happen, but I always take the high road,” Dončić said. “I had my amazing moments in Dallas with my teammates, coaches and, most importantl,y the fans. They always supported me. It was an amazing journey.”

Dončić said he has always looked up to new teammate LeBron James and called it “a dream come true” to play with the NBA’s all-time leading scorer. Though he said he hasn’t had much time to think about basketball since the whirlwind circumstances of the trade, Dončić has thought about how he and James will work together on the court.

“I’m excited to learn from him,” he said. “We both make our teammates better. Our IQ is very high.”

T’Wolves’ Anthony Edwards on shocking Luka Dončić trade: ‘You don’t just trade him at 25’

Only a few days removed from the stunning trade that sent Luka Dončić from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis, Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards remains shocked and bewildered that a deal of that magnitude could go down.

Dončić, who turns 26 later this month, is a five-time All-NBA First Team player and last season’s scoring champion, among other accomplishments. To Edwards, he still can’t get over the fact that the Mavericks would be open to moving a player on that level.

“They say that nobody knew about the trade. That’s crazy,” Edwards said following Minnesota’s loss to the Sacramento Kings on Monday. “At 25 [years old], they traded probably the best scorer in the NBA. And he didn’t know about it. There’s a lot more digging somebody’s gotta do to find out why he got traded. Because you don’t just trade him at 25. He just went to the Finals. I feel bad for Luka, man.”

The reaction across the basketball world has been a mix of anger and disbelief. Mavericks fans are upset that general manager Nico Harrison believed this was a trade to make for a 26-24 team that sits eighth in the Western Conference. Some protested the move on Sunday by staging a mock funeral and spray-painting messages directed at Harrison. Dončić’s own father slammed the organization, saying his son “absolutely doesn’t deserve this.”

Nuggets ‘not trading Michael Porter’

Michael Porter isn’t going anywhere.

Nuggets coach Michael Malone insisted on Monday night that, despite rumors to the contrary, the team won’t be trading Porter before Thursday’s deadline.

But Michael is a really important piece, he helped us win a championship.”

Porter has averaged 18 points and 6.4 rebounds per game this season. He had a season-high 36 points in Monday’s 125-113 win over the Pelicans, too.
