The biggest trade of the NBA season – and one of the biggest deals in NBA history – happened Saturday.

That’s when the Dallas Mavericks sent star guard Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis in a three-team, multi-player, multi-draft pick trade.

So, it’s going to be difficult to top that explosive deal ahead of Thursday’s NBA trade deadline. Even so, De’Aaron Fox and Zach LaVine are off the board following the three-team trade Sunday among Sacramento, San Antonio and Chicago that sent Fox from the Kings to the Spurs and LaVine from the Bulls to the Kings.

Who is next? Can the Heat find a palatable deal for unhappy Jimmy Butler? Is New Orleans’ Brandon Ingram staying or going? What about Washington’s Kyle Kuzma, Jonas Valanciunas and Jordan Poole? And Utah’s Collin Sexton, John Collins and Jordan Clarkson? Will the Bulls dismantle the roster with an additional trade involving Nik Vucevic and/or Lonzo Ball? Will Brooklyn find the perfect deal for Cam Johnson?

Are Milwaukee, Phoenix and Memphis in the mix for a big-time player?

We soon will find out.

Here are the trades that have happened since the start of the 2024-25 NBA season:
