2023 NBA trade deadline live tracker: Latest rumors, news and completed deals
The 2023 NBA trade deadline has provided plenty of fireworks over the past week, and hopefully more to come as the deadline nears Thursday at 3:00 p.m. ET.
The biggest deal of the deadline so far came early Thursday morning when the Nets sent superstar forward Kevin Durant to the Phoenix Suns in a huge deal that included multiple players and many unprotected first-round picks going to Brooklyn. Over the weekend, the Nets traded star guard Kyrie Irving for the Dallas Mavericks.

Many other notable players could be out on Thursday. Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby is a name to watch. Nets forward Jae Crowder, Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins, Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso and Orlando Magic center Mo Bamba are also interesting trade targets.
A number of competing teams, including the Boston Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks, Memphis Grizzlies, Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers, Denver Nuggets and Golden State Warriors have yet to make a significant addition.
