Here's every trade of the 2025-26 season, including the Clippers-Cavs deal sending James Harden to Cleveland.

As soon as Anfernee Simons was sent to Boston for Jrue Holiday in the offseason, many people wondered if the Celtics would eventually flip Simons and his expiring contract before the trade deadline. That answer has been confirmed as yes, they will. The Celtics are sending Simons to the Chicago Bulls in exchange for veteran big man Nikola Vučević.

LeBron James is expected to finish out the 2025-26 season with the Los Angeles Lakers and avoid a change of scenery at the trade deadline, according to ESPN's Dave McMenamin.

In this NBA mock trade, the Atlanta Hawks send Kristaps Porzingis to the Los Angeles Lakers, pairing him up with LeBron James and Luka Doncic.

All of this lines up quite nicely, and according to Jake Fischer, the Cavaliers and Hornets have indeed held preliminary conversations about a Ball trade that would help Cleveland get below the second apron before Thursday's deadline.

The Chicago Bulls are reportedly expected to trade Coby White next, with Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl emerging as a potential target.

East-leading Detroit has needed more shooting. It may find some with Kevin Huerter. And the Bulls are revamping their backcourt.

This week's NBA Power Rankings will lean heavily into talk about the NBA trade deadline on Thursday (Feb. 5, 3 PM ET), but there's more going on than just rumors. The team that could put together the best offer for Giannis Antetokounmpo — or anyone else — likely will be quiet at the trade deadline.
