A SLOW NIGHT AROUND THE LEAGUE
Well the earlier trade of K. Irving for Karl Anthony-Towns made headlines and the Sonics trade of 6 players off their 15 man roster was a major shakeup, most teams were pretty quite come deadline time.
Rumors were Sacramento was trying to move starting PG De'Aaron Fox, but Fox instead found himself on the IR with a Right Hand Fracture just 3 days before the deadline proventing a move.
Here is a list of the deals that went down
Houston trade SF Kenyon Martin Jr to Miami for Center Thomas Bryant
"The Rockets need a backup Center and Miami get's a SF that can backup Butler and also play some SG if needed"
Milwaukee Center Jusuf Nurkic and PF Xaiver Booker to the Hawks For PF Saddiq Bey.
"The Hawks need a backup/spot starter at Center and get a young PF with plenty of upside, well the Hawks add Bey as their starting PF for the next 3-4 years at a decent salary."
Milwaukee traded SF Lugentz Dort and PG Jose Alvarado to the Jazz for a 2025 1st Round pick (Sonics pick/ swap with Las Vegas) and SF Harrison Barnes.
"The Jazz upgrade and get younger with Dort over Barnes well adding a veteran PG to backup Colin Sexton, but give up a pick that the Bucks really need right now"
Milwaukee trades PG Dennis Schroeder to the Warriors for a 2nd Round pick.
"Bucks deal for another pick, well the Warriors upgrade with a much need guard off the bench behind Curry and Thompson"
Sacramento trades Terry Rozier II to Atlanta for 2nd round pick.
"The Kings signed Rozier to a 1 year deal in the offseason probably with the idea of trading him anyways. Hawks get a veteran guard who can backup up Trae Young and Dejounte Murray well providing the 2nd unit with some nice scoring punch"
Chicago trades SF Tobias Harris to Boston for SF Dillon Brooks.
"Harris will give the Celtics better offense off the bench behind Tatum well Brooks hopes to find a team that can turn him into the star he thinks he is"
