2024 NBA Trades

Brooklyn received De'Anthony Melton, Reece Beekman and three unprotected second-round picks (Atlanta 2026 and 2028, plus Golden State 2029) for Dennis Schröder and Miami's 2025 second. Golden State used Schröder only until the February 6 Jimmy Butler trade. The Miami second became No. 41 Koby Brea before his rights moved to Phoenix; Brooklyn's 2026 Atlanta second became Bryce Hopkins, while the 2028 and 2029 seconds remain unresolved.

indiana-pacers-trade-2024-12-15-0162 historical NBA trade: Pacers Win. Indiana earns B+ for acquiring Thomas Bryant as an available rotation center who contributed during the 2024-25 season and playoff run. Miami gets C+ for the conditional right to swap 2031 second-round picks, not a guaranteed extra selection. Bryant’s previous NBA seasons and any hypothetical future draft player are excluded from the direct transaction return. Indiana acquired Thomas Bryant from Miami on December 15, 2024, when frontcourt injuries had tested the Pacers’ supply of available big men. Miami received the right to swap second-round draft positions with In

Knicks Win. New York earns A+ because Towns became a core piece of the 2026 championship team. Minnesota receives A- for Randle, DiVincenzo and the future first, a package that preserved high-level present value and future optionality. Charlotte receives B for converting facilitation into multiple seconds and cash without sacrificing a core player. Knicks Win is decisive, but the return quality prevents this from being graded as a disaster for Minnesota. New York now owns the strongest realized outcome. Towns became a championship starter, and the Knicks won the 2026 NBA title with Towns as a major scorer, rebounder and passer alongside Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby. A title does not automatically make every acquisition an A+, but acquiring a core championship big without surrendering Brunson, Bridges, Hart or Anunoby is exactly the kind of realized value that justifies the top grade.

atlanta-hawks-trade-2024-07-29-0291 historical trade review: Even Trade. Atlanta receives C+ for a fresh evaluation of David Roddy, while Phoenix also gets C+ for taking a developmental chance on E.J. Liddell. Neither player was acquired as a proven long-term starter and no draft pick changed hands. Earlier playing time with other clubs cannot be used to enlarge either franchise’s direct return from this July 2024 exchange. On July 29, 2024, Atlanta acquired forward David Roddy from Phoenix for E.J. Liddell in a straight player exchange. Both athletes were young frontcourt prospects who had already ex

The Nets acquired Ziaire Williams; 2030 second-round pick (Mavericks pick) from Grizzlies in exchange for Mamadi Diakite; rights to Nemanja Dangubic.

Clippers Win. Los Angeles earns B+ for Kris Dunn's useful defensive guard minutes after July 2024. Utah receives C+ for Russell Westbrook's contract, Balsa Koprivica draft rights, cash and a conditional 2030 second-round swap option. Westbrook's later Denver seasons weren't Jazz games, and the future swap isn't assumed to have yielded a drafted Utah player. Los Angeles acquired defensive guard Kris Dunn from Utah on July 18, 2024 in a transaction that sent Russell Westbrook, the rights to Serbian prospect Balsa Koprivica and cash consideration to the Jaz

Sacramento acquired DeMar DeRozan in a July 2024 sign-and-trade with Chicago and San Antonio. The Bulls received Chris Duarte, RaiQuan Gray, two future second-round rights and cash. The Spurs acquired Harrison Barnes and a future Sacramento first-round selection associated with 2031. The inherited Bulls Win grades Chicago B and Sacramento and San Antonio C+ each.

Detroit acquired Wendell Moore Jr.; rights to Bobi Klintman from Memphis Grizzlies, Toronto Raptors, Minnesota Timberwolves for rights to Cam Spencer.

Atlanta sent Dejounte Murray to New Orleans on July 6, 2024 for Dyson Daniels, Larry Nance Jr., E.J. Liddell, Cody Zeller, the Lakers' 2025 first-round pick and a conditional 2027 first. Daniels immediately became the 2025 Most Improved Player, All-Defensive First Team and Defensive Player of the Year runner-up, then remained a full-season Atlanta starter in 2025-26. Murray produced 31 Pelicans games before a ruptured Achilles ended 2024-25 and returned for only 14 games in 2025-26. The 2025 pick retained trade value rather than becoming a Hawks player, while the 2027 first remains pending.

Charlotte acquired Devonte' Graham; 2025 second round pick (Pelicans pick) (#34-Ryan Kalkbrenner) from San Antonio Spurs for cash considerations.

Charlotte acquired Josh Green; Reggie Jackson; 2029 second-round pick; 2030 second-round pick in a multi-team trade involving Philadelphia 76ers, Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, Golden State Warriors, sending 2025 second-round pick (#35-Johni Broome); 2025 second-round pick (#52-Alex Toohey); cash.

Dallas received Quentin Grimes from Detroit Pistons and sent Tim Hardaway Jr.; 2025 second-round pick (Raptors pick) (#37-Chaz Lanier); 2028 second-round pick (less favorable of Clippers, Hornets picks) (pick not identified in source); 2028 second-round pick (Heat pick) (pick not identified in source) in return.

The Warriors reacquired Quinten Post's rights for cash, adding a useful developmental center at minimal cost.

Pacers Win by a small development advantage. Indiana earns B- for acquiring Johnny Furphy's No. 35 rights and gaining an NBA roster prospect suited to its wing rotation. San Antonio receives C+ for Juan Núñez's international draft rights and cash. Neither pick was a first-rounder, and future NBA performances beyond the actual recipient team are not assumed. Indiana and San Antonio completed a 2024 draft-rights agreement finalized in early July. The Pacers received the rights to Kansas wing Johnny Furphy, selected thirty-fifth overall, while the Spurs obtained the rights to guard Juan

Washington acquired center Jonas Valančiūnas from New Orleans in a July 2024 sign-and-trade. The Pelicans obtained a conditional 2027 second-round selection. Valančiūnas provided Washington with veteran interior minutes before moving again, while the Pelicans accepted future asset flexibility. The inherited Even Trade assigns C+ to both teams.

Portland acquired Deni Avdija from Washington in July 2024 for Malcolm Brogdon, the No. 14 rights used on Bub Carrington, a future first and two second-round picks. Avdija developed into a major Blazers forward and versatile creator, while Washington pursued younger prospects and draft choices. The inherited Blazers Win assigns Portland A+ and Washington C+.

Oklahoma City received rights to Dillon Jones and sent 2025 second round pick (more favorable of Celtics, Grizzlies picks) (#50-Kobe Sanders); 2026 second round pick (Warriors pick) (outcome unknown); 2027 second round pick (Timberwolves pick) (outcome unknown); 2027 second round pick (second most favorable of Heat, Pacers, Rockets, Thunder picks) (outcome unknown); 2027 second round pick (third most favorable of Heat, Pacers, Rockets, Thunder picks) (outcome unknown). The counterpart finished with the modest hindsight edge.

Detroit acquired cash considerations from LA Clippers for rights to Balsa Koprivica.

Dallas received draft rights to Melvin Ajinca from New York Knicks and sent draft rights to Petteri Koponen; draft rights to Ariel Hukporti; cash considerations in return.

Denver acquired rights to DaRon Holmes II from Phoenix Suns for rights to Ryan Dunn; rights to Kevin McCullar Jr.; 2026 second-round pick (outcome unknown); 2031 second-round pick (outcome unknown).

Golden State sent the draft rights to No. 52 pick Quinten Post to Oklahoma City for Lindy Waters III. The Thunder immediately rerouted Post's rights and cash through Portland and New York in the draft-night chain that produced Ajay Mitchell. Golden State separately reacquired Post from Portland for cash. Post later became a useful two-season Warriors rotation big, while Mitchell developed into an important Thunder rotation player. The direct asset ledger remains Waters for Post rights; the later routing is traceable downstream value, not part of the original two-team exchange.

Oklahoma City Thunder Win by a limited draft-position edge. The Thunder earn B- for the earlier No. 40 rights to Oso Ighodaro, while Portland receives C+ for No. 52 Quinten Post rights and cash. Ighodaro's Phoenix and Post's Golden State NBA production occurred after other rights transfers and is not assigned to these original receiving teams. On June 27, 2024, Oklahoma City received draft rights associated with Marquette forward Oso Ighodaro from Portland. The Blazers obtained the rights to Boston College center Quinten Post alon

Washington acquired the draft rights to Kyshawn George from New York in June 2024, sending out rights tied to Dillon Jones and Melvin Ajinça. George joined the Wizards' young wing group and received NBA opportunities. The Knicks gained alternative draft assets, though the later rights paths need careful attribution. The inherited Wizards Win grades Washington B+ and New York C+.

Brooklyn regained its own 2025 first-round pick and 2026 first-round pick from Houston, while Houston received a 2025 Phoenix swap right, Phoenix's 2027 first and rights to the two most favorable 2029 firsts among Dallas, Houston and Phoenix. Brooklyn's returned picks became No. 8 Egor Demin and No. 6 Mikel Brown Jr. Houston's 2025 swap became the No. 10 pick, Khaman Maluach, which later became one component of the Kevin Durant trade. The 2027 and 2029 assets remain unresolved.

Chicago exchanged Alex Caruso for Josh Giddey in a timeline-driven deal with Oklahoma City.

The Nets acquired Dennis Schröder; Thaddeus Young from Raptors in exchange for Spencer Dinwiddie.

Portland acquired Dalano Banton and cash from Boston at the 2024 trade deadline for a conditional 2027 second-round right. Banton found more playing time with the Trail Blazers than with the championship-bound Celtics, who cleared a roster spot. The inherited Even Trade gives both teams C+, reflecting Portland's player evaluation and Boston's roster management.

Boston acquired guard Jaden Springer from Philadelphia at the February 2024 deadline for a second-round pick later associated with No. 41 Adem Bona. Springer had limited Celtics playing time despite appearing on the championship roster; Bona later played NBA minutes for Philadelphia. The inherited 76ers Win grades Philadelphia B and Boston C-.

Charlotte acquired Grant Williams; Seth Curry; conditional 2027 first-round pick from Dallas Mavericks for P.J. Washington; 2024 second-round pick (#58-Ariel Hukporti); 2028 second-round pick.

Charlotte acquired Vasa Micić; Tre Mann; Davis Bertans; 2024 second round pick (Rockets pick) (#42-K.J. Simpson); 2025 second round pick (76ers pick) (#35-Johni Broome); cash considerations from Oklahoma City Thunder for Gordon Hayward.

Denver acquired cash from Los Angeles Clippers for rights to Ismael Kamagate.

Detroit acquired Danuel House Jr.; 2024 second round pick (#53 – Cam Spencer); cash considerations from Philadelphia 76ers for 2028 second round pick (protected top 55) (outcome unknown).

Even Trade. New York gained immediate veteran shooting and depth for a playoff run, and Bogdanovic’s contract later became part of the package used to acquire Mikal Bridges. That makes the Knicks side more valuable than a short rental snapshot would suggest. Detroit received the larger quantity of assets, including Grimes and two second-round picks. Grimes was later moved to Dallas for Tim Hardaway Jr. and three future seconds, extending Detroit’s asset chain rather than ending the value after a few months.

Detroit Pistons received Simone Fontecchio. Utah Jazz received Kevin Knox II; rights to Gabriele Procida; 2024 second round pick (more favorable of Grizzlies, Wizards picks) (#32 – Kyle Filipowski).

Golden State sent Cory Joseph, cash and a top-55-protected 2025 Charlotte second that did not convey to Indiana for a 2024 second-round pick. Indiana waived Joseph immediately. The incoming second became No. 52 and later moved through a multi-team draft-night sequence that ultimately returned Quinten Post to Golden State while the Warriors also added Lindy Waters III. The later routing was a separate transaction, but the February asset gave Golden State meaningful draft currency and the stronger realized return.

Dallas sent Oklahoma City the right to swap 2028 first-round picks and received a 2024 first-round pick, then immediately routed that pick to Washington in the Daniel Gafford trade. The selection later became No. 26 and ultimately Dillon Jones after separate draft-night transactions. Oklahoma City still owns the unresolved 2028 swap; Dallas has the stronger realized return because the acquired first-round asset became immediate frontcourt help.

richaun-holmes-mavericks-2024-02-08 historical NBA trade: Mavericks Win. Dallas receives A because Daniel Gafford became a major center-rotation contributor during its 2024 NBA Finals run. Washington earns C+ for Richaun Holmes and a transferable 2024 first-round asset whose later No. 26 Dillon Jones identity followed a separate rights chain. Jones’s subsequent career was not Wizards playing production, and Dallas’s playoff run required more than this one frontcourt acquisition. On February 8, 2024, Dallas acquired Daniel Gafford from Washington while the Wizards took Richaun Holmes and a first-round draft asset arranged through Oklahoma City. The incoming selection was later associate

boston-celtics-2024-02-07-dcccf9a352ad historical NBA trade: Celtics Win. Boston earns A- for adding Xavier Tillman, a useful defensive reserve who supplied minutes and a memorable Game 3 three-pointer during the 2024 NBA Finals. Memphis receives B- for Lamar Stevens plus 2027 and 2030 second-round choices. Those picks are future assets rather than established NBA contributors, and the Celtics’ entire championship cannot be credited to one depth trade. Boston acquired center-forward Xavier Tillman from Memphis on February 7, 2024, sending Lamar Stevens and two second-round choices slated for 2027 and 2030 to the Grizzlies. The Celtics already possessed an eli

Detroit acquired Troy Brown Jr.; Shake Milton; 2030 second round pick (outcome unknown) from Minnesota Timberwolves for Monte Morris.

Houston acquired Steven Adams from Memphis for Victor Oladipo's expiring contract and three second-round picks, including the 2024 selection used on Jaylen Wells.

Charlotte acquired Kyle Lowry; future first-round pick from Miami Heat for Terry Rozier.

Washington acquired Marvin Bagley III, Isaiah Livers and two second-round assets from Detroit in January 2024, sending Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala to the Pistons. Bagley supplied interior scoring and rebounding in Washington, while Detroit took veteran contracts. The inherited Wizards Win grades Washington B+ and Detroit C.
