Leading into the NBA trade deadline on Thursday, the biggest question around the league involved Brooklyn's James Harden and Philadelphia’s Ben Simmons.
The two teams were able to pull off the blockbuster trade of the season, with the Sixers trading Simmons, Seth Curry and Andre Drummond and two first-round picks to the Nets for Harden and Paul Millsap.
That’s not the only intrigue in the league. Could the Los Angeles Lakers pull off any moves that improve their roster? They could not swing a deal and are entrenched in the play-in game after starting the season with championship aspirations.
Is there a championship-caliber team that can make a deal to push it closer to a championship?
The Cleveland Cavaliers just acquired Caris LeVert and that certainly bolsters their roster ahead of the playoffs. The Milwaukee Bucks added Serge Ibaka. Who else went all in?
Here’s a look at the deals that have happened this season:
