2025 NBA Trades

Brooklyn acquired guard Kobe Bufkin from Atlanta in September 2025 for cash considerations. Atlanta surrendered the former first-round prospect without receiving an active player or draft selection. The inherited Nets Win grades Brooklyn B- and Atlanta D+, though Bufkin's later playing role requires its own evaluation.

Boston acquired undrafted wing RJ Luis Jr. from Utah in August 2025 and sent Georges Niang plus conditional second-round rights in 2027 and 2031 to the Jazz. The Celtics added a younger prospect while moving on from a veteran forward, and Utah collected shooting experience and draft options. The inherited Celtics Win gives Boston B+ and Utah C+.

Denver acquired Jonas Valančiūnas from Sacramento for Dario Šarić.

Washington acquired guards Malaki Branham and Blake Wesley and a 2026 second-round right from San Antonio in July 2025 for veteran big Kelly Olynyk.

Denver acquired Cameron Johnson from Brooklyn for Michael Porter Jr. and an unprotected 2032 first-round pick.

The Nets obtained Terance Mann and Drake Powell's 2025 No. 22 draft rights from Atlanta. The inherited Hawks Win gives Atlanta B+, Boston C+ and Brooklyn C+.

Kings Win. Sacramento earns B- for Dennis Schröder's guard availability plus a future 2029 second. Detroit receives C+ for trade-exception and roster flexibility; the heavily protected Charlotte-origin 2026 second did not convey, so Detroit cannot claim a player from that pick. Schröder's earlier Pistons postseason games aren't Sacramento production. On July 7, 2025, Sacramento acquired Dennis Schröder and a 2029 second-round pick from Detroit for a protected 2026 second. The trade was part of a sign-and-trade that pl

Detroit acquired Duncan Robinson from Miami in a sign-and-trade for Simone Fontecchio.

Charlotte acquired Pat Connaughton; 2031 second-round pick; 2032 second-round pick from Milwaukee Bucks for Vasa Micić.

Chicago acquired Isaac Okoro from Cleveland for Lonzo Ball.

Bulls Win by a limited margin. Chicago earns B for the No. 55 Lachlan Olbrich rights plus cash received for No. 45 Rocco Zikarsky. Los Angeles receives C+ for an earlier draft selection it could move through a subsequent transaction. Neither prospect's international résumé is treated as NBA production, and later Lakers draft activity is evaluated separately. Chicago completed a July 1, 2025 deal with the Lakers, taking the draft rights to No. 55 Lachlan Olbrich and cash in exchange for the rights to No. 45 Rocco Zikarsky. Bot

Charlotte acquired Collin Sexton; 2030 second-round pick from Utah Jazz for Jusuf Nurkić.

Washington acquired Dillon Jones and a future 2029 second-round right from Oklahoma City in June 2025, sending the Thunder Colby Jones. The Wizards gained a former first-round developmental player and another draft option; Oklahoma City obtained a different young wing to evaluate. The inherited slight Wizards edge grades Washington B- and the Thunder C+.

Boston received the draft rights to Amari Williams and Max Shulga and future second-round selections from Orlando during the 2025 draft. The Magic obtained the rights to Noah Penda. The inherited slight Celtics edge grades Boston B and Orlando B-, weighing multiple draft choices against one forward prospect.

Washington received the draft rights to Will Riley and Jamir Watkins plus future second-round choices from Utah in June 2025, sending the Jazz the rights to Walter Clayton Jr. The deal balanced Utah's interest in a specific guard against Washington's preference for multiple prospects and future selections. The inherited Even Trade awards both teams C+.

Atlanta acquired Asa Newell's draft rights and a 2026 first-round selection with the more favorable of Milwaukee's and New Orleans's positions during the 2025 NBA draft. New Orleans received the rights to Derik Queen. The pick later became associated with No. 8 Kingston Flemings in 2026. The inherited Hawks Win gives Atlanta A- and the Pelicans B.

The inherited Rockets Win grades Houston B+ and Boston C-, recognizing more draft chances for Houston and Boston's financial flexibility.

Charlotte Win. The Hornets earn A- for absorbing Jusuf Nurkić while securing a 2026 first-round selection, a stronger draft asset than the second they sent away. Phoenix receives C+ for Cody Martin, Vasilije Micić and a 2026 second plus roster relief. Nurkić's previous team seasons and any later pick transfers aren't credited as direct 2025 playing outcomes. On February 6, 2025, Charlotte acquired Jusuf Nurkić and a 2026 first-round pick from Phoenix. The Suns received Cody Martin, Vasilije Micić and a 2026 second-round selec

Detroit acquired K.J. Martin and two future second-round picks from Philadelphia for cash considerations.

Golden State acquired Jimmy Butler in a five-team trade; Miami received a package led by Andrew Wiggins and protected first-round value, Detroit received Dennis Schröder, Lindy Waters III, and a future second-round pick, and Toronto and Utah handled additional routing.

Sacramento acquired center Jonas Valančiūnas from Washington at the February 2025 deadline for Sidy Cissoko and second-round choices in 2028 and 2029. Valančiūnas provided an immediate veteran big-man option for the Kings, while the Wizards obtained a younger wing and future draft flexibility. The inherited Wizards Win grades Washington B+ and Sacramento C.

Dallas received Caleb Martin; 2030 second-round pick (pick not identified in source) from Philadelphia 76ers and sent Quentin Grimes; 2025 second-round pick (more favorable of 76ers, Nuggets picks) (#35-Johni Broome) in return.

Slight Spurs Edge. San Antonio receives A for acquiring and extending Fox and reaching the 2026 Finals. Chicago earns A- for recovering its lottery first while adding usable veterans and clearing LaVine. Sacramento receives B+ because LaVine plus six draft picks is a serious return, but the premium picks have not yet produced enough realized value to match San Antonio's leap. Slight Spurs Edge is the appropriate current verdict. San Antonio holds the narrow lead because it acquired an in-prime All-NBA-caliber point guard without surrendering Victor Wembanyama, Stephon Castle, Devin Vassell or its most important young core. Fox signed a long-term extension and helped the Spurs reach the 2026 NBA Finals. The Finals ended in a loss to New York and Fox had uneven stretches, so the outcome is not an A+ championship conversion. Still, acquiring a long-term lead guard for a package built mainly from picks and non-core players delivered exactly the competitive leap San Antonio was pursuing.

In a 3-team transaction, Dallas received Anthony Davis; Max Christie; 2029 Los Angeles Lakers first-round pick; $55,000 cash from Utah and sent Luka Dončić; Maxi Kleber; Markieff Morris; 2025 Dallas second-round pick (#43-Jamir Watkins) to Utah.
