The NBA spent their weekend shocking the basketball world on Saturday night and added to the suspense yesterday with the deals that were made. It started with a blockbuster deal brewed under the radar between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks and included the Utah Jazz. The deal sent Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris to the Lakers. Dallas acquired Anthony Davis, Max Christie and the Lakers’ 2029 first-round pick. The Jazz received Jalen Hood-Schifino, the LA Clippers’ 2025 second-round pick and the Mavericks’ 2025 second-round selection. The next deal was a three-team trade between the Sacramento Kings, Chicago Bulls and San Antonio Spurs. This trade sent De’Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs and the Kings acquire Bulls guard Zach LaVine as part of a three-team trade involving multiple players and draft picks. In exchange for Fox, the Kings receive LaVine, Spurs guard Sidy Cissoko; three first-round picks (Charlotte’s in 2025, San Antonio’s in 2027 and Minnesota’s in 2031); and three second-round picks (Chicago’s in 2025, Denver’s in 2028 and a return of their own 2028 pick from Chicago). The Bulls regained their 2025 first-round pick from San Antonio as well as three players: Zach Collins and Tre Jones from the Spurs, and Sacramento’s Kevin Huerter. In addition to Fox, the Spurs receive Jordan McLaughlin.
