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?

Yahoo Sports has you covered with the latest rumors, signings, trades and analysis as teams scramble to make moves before the deadline.
