NBA trade deadline tracker: Bulls get help for playoffs, Magic headed for rebuild
A couple of years ago, the NBA moved the trade deadline ahead of All-Star Weekend.
In another example of how COVID-19 has impacted the NBA schedule, the trade deadline not only follows the All-Star Game this season, it’s two-plus weeks after the game was played.
With nearly two months left in the 2020-21 regular season and lots unsettled in the standings, the trade deadline ended at 3 p.m. ET Thursday.
Who was traded? Kyle Lowry? Victor Oladipo? Lonzo Ball? Harrison Barnes?
Who made the big move? Boston? Philadelphia? Miami? Los Angeles Clippers? Denver?
A look at all the major moves leading up to Thursday's deadline.
