The Lakers finally made a move at the trade deadline on Thursday morning, joining the madness that began earlier in the week.
A host of big name free agents have been moved, all in fairly surprising deals, and Giannis Antetokounmpo is still on the board. As we count down the final hours until the deadline, here’s a place for everyone to react to the news around the league while we keep you updated on the other deals across the NBA.
Lakers land Luke Kennard
After sitting on the sidelines for much of the week, the Lakers finally
jumped in the pool with a deal to land a sharpshooter.
Wolves finally get a guard
Minnesota has been in search of a guard for most of the season and eventually found one in Chicago — where they were hoarding them — in Ayo Dosunmu.
Knicks move on from Yabusele
After a breakout Olympics and strong season with the Sixers last year, Yabusele was a bit of a flop in New York, leading to the Knicks trading him to Chicago.
Jackson-Davis dealt to Toronto
Former Jalen Hood-Schifino teammate Trayce Jackson-Davis went from promising rookie season to out of the rotation before being moved to the Raptors on Wednesday.
Kuminga FINALLY is traded
The long national nightmare finally ended on Wednesday evening with the Warriors packaging Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield for Kristaps Porzingis, an interesting move for Golden State if the big man is healthy.
