With the NBA trade deadline approaching on February 6, two of the biggest deals of the season have materialized, significantly altering the league landscape. Luka Dončić is set to continue his career with the Los Angeles Lakers after a trade involving the Dallas Mavericks and Utah Jazz. The Lakers acquire Dončić, along with center Maxi Kleber and forward Markieff Morris, while Dallas receives Anthony Davis, guard Max Christie, and a 2029 first-round pick from the Lakers. Utah joins the deal by acquiring Jalen Hood-Schifino and second-round picks from both the Lakers and Mavericks.

Another major move saw the San Antonio Spurs strengthening their backcourt with the addition of De’Aaron Fox from the Sacramento Kings in a three-team trade involving the Chicago Bulls. The Spurs not only landed Fox but also received Jordan McLaughlin. Sacramento, in turn, got Zach LaVine from the Bulls, as well as San Antonio’s Sidy Cissoko, three first-round picks (2025, 2027, and 2031), and three second-round picks (2025 and two in 2028). Chicago regained its 2024 first-round pick while sending center Zach Collins and guard Tre Jones to the Spurs and Kevin Huerter to the Kings.
As the trade market remains highly active, the Golden State Warriors are looking to make a huge move before the deadline. Reports suggest they are pursuing an All-Star to pair with Stephen Curry, with LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Jimmy Butler being among the names discussed. The Warriors are determined to strengthen their roster, keeping them in the spotlight as the final days of the trade window unfold.
