NBA Trade Deadline Sees Major Player Moves

The 2025 NBA trade deadline was marked by significant moves, including the trade of Luka Doncic from the Mavericks to the Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis, and Jimmy Butler's move from the Miami Heat to the Golden State Warriors. Butler's trade helped Golden State bolster its lineup alongside Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, positioning them for another playoff push. Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic opted not to make any trades, despite struggling with injuries and having the worst 3-point shooting percentage in the league. Miami acquired Andrew Wiggins to pair with Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo, while Cleveland strengthened its roster by adding De'Andre Hunter. These trades highlighted a dynamic deadline, with teams like the Warriors and Lakers making aggressive moves to improve their rosters for immediate success.
