BULLS GET: Anfernee Simons, second-round pick
CELTICS GET: Nikola Vucevic, second-round pick

Boston has surprisingly kept pace with the Eastern Conference’s elite, despite appearing to take a relative gap year in the wake of Jayson Tatum‘s injury.

Trade Breakdown: Now they find a way to upgrade on the affordable means that led to them moving Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis while letting Al Horford walk. The Celtics’ biggest issue was filling the post void amidst Horford and Porzingis’ departures but that’s readily fulfilled with the 15-year-man Vucevic, averaging a near double-double (on 50.5 percent from the field, his best since 2022-23) at age 35. Vucevic will likely immediately step into the starting five while letting Luka Garza and Neemias Queta develop in peace.

Simons was one of the discount additions for the Celtics this season. In Boston, Simons was the only player with no starts this season to average at least 14 points next two assists and rebounds.

BULLS GET: Mike Conley, Jaden Ivey
PISTONS GET: Kevin Huerter, Dario Saric, protected 2026 fist-round pick swap with Minnesota
TIMBERWOLVES GET: protected 2026 first-round pick swap with Detroit

(h/t Shams Charania, ESPN)

The headliner here is the potential cap clearing for the Timberwolves despite their lack of an assured asset in this deal.

Minnesota may be trying to position itself in the Giannis Antetokounmpo sweepstakes and got that done by sending off Conley, he on the latter year of a $20 million contract extension. ESPN’s Bobby Marks noted that the Timberwolves are under the first apron with the deal.

Trade Breakdown: Chicago gets two veteran guards to essentially audition as they try to hold off the surging Charlotte Hornets in the Eastern Play-In race. Ivey showed flashes of potential after arriving as the fifth overall pick in 2022, but injuries have frequently eaten away at his momentum. He and the Pistons failed to come to terms on a rookie extension and his minutes eventually drained to Daniss Jenkins and Caris LeVert. Fellow expiring contract Huerter should help the conference-leading Pistons get over one of their rare weaknesses, as they’re third-to-last in three-point attempts per game.

GRIZZLIES GET: Kyle Anderson, Walter Clayton Jr., Taylor Hendricks, Georges Niang, three future first-round picks (two in 2027, one in 2031)
JAZZ GETS: Jaren Jackson Jr., John Konchar, Jock Landale, Vince Williams Jr.

(h/t Shams Charania, ESPN)

Trade Breakdown: The current pace of the Utah Jazz rebuild apparently wasn’t quite Danny Ainge‘s tempo. Despite granting an extension to head coach Will Hardy last spring, Utah saw its win total fall by 14 last season. Entering Tuesday play, the Jazz is eight games behind Portland for the fourth and final Play-In spot.

Hence comes the biggest swing of the post-Donovan Mitchell era, one that acquired the talents … and contract … of Jackson. Still just 26 years old, the two-time All-Star and Association blocks leader joins a group that’s dead-last in defensive rating. Utah’s lack of patience was on full display with the trading of lottery pick Hendricks (chosen ninth in 2023 … three picks before Dereck Lively II … before a devastating injury to open his sophomore season) and March Madness hero Clayton (18th last June).

It would appear he’s sticking in Salt Lake City for the long haul: Jackson is less than a year removed from a five-year, $205 million contract extension that ends with a $53.5 million player option in 2029-30. Gaining Jackson gives Utah’s deadline rumor staples incentive to stay, as he forms a formidable frontcourt triumvirate with Walker Kessler and Lauri Markkanen. That could also include Landale, who is having a career-best season at age 30 and a free agency landmark.

The Jazz will likely pass Memphis as they try to inch back toward the top, as the Grizzlies appear ready to go into hibernation. Like General Grievous before them, Memphis has at least made a find addition to their collection: Charania notes that Grizzlies have 12 picks over the next seven drafts, taking a page out of the champion Oklahoma City Thunder’s book. A good bit came from Orlando in the prior trade for Desmond Bane and it’s hard to envision fellow franchise face Ja Morant not being next.

Sunday, February 1

HAWKS GET: Duop Reath, 2027 and 2030 second-round pick
TRAIL BLAZERS GET: Vit Krejci

(h/t Shams Charania, ESPN)

Trade Breakdown: As it continues to round out the Western Conference Play-In picture, the Portland Trail Blazers addressed one of their most glaring needs by trading for Krejci.

Portland has hardly hesitated to let it fly from deep, but it was in desperate need of accuracy: they rank third in the Association’s attempts but dead last in accuracy. Krejci has taken over three-quarters of his shooting tries with an extra point on the line this year and is 42.7 percent from deep in the last three (third-best in the league in the prior trio among men with a minimum of four tries per game).

Atlanta, having unofficially tipped off the transactional tyranny with the trade of Trae Young, in the first week of the year, gains two more assets to barter as well as the expiring, restricted free agent contract of Reath, who is done for the year after foot surgery last week. Krejci became essentially redundant in Atlanta after the Jan. 7 Young trade, which brought in Corey Kispert from the Washington Wizards.

Saturday, January 31

BULLS GET: Dario Saric, 2027 (from Sacramento via Denver) and 2029 (from Cleveland) second-round picks
CAVALIERS GET: Keon Ellis, Emmanuel Miller, Dennis Schroder
KINGS GET: De’Andre Hunter

(h/t Shams Charania, ESPN)

Trade Breakdown: In the midst of a surge back up the Eastern Conference leaderboard, the Cleveland Cavaliers got deadline week rolling by adding backcourt depth.

Schroder, averaging just under 13 points and 5.3 assists a game in 40 appearances this season, should help a second unit that’s rank 22nd in bench points, while Ellis is an affordable project freed from the frustration in California’s capital.

It’s done in the name of unloading Hunter, a $24.9 million cap hit for next season and one of the top prizes at last year’s deadline. Cleveland is well aware of the value veteran depth carries at this time of year, as last year’s playoff run at the top of the East was derailed by injuries to its top talents.

Firmly entrenched in another rebuild, Sacramento was able to convert rookie two-way deal godsend Dylan Cardwell to a standard contract after bidding farewell to the veteran deals of Ellis and Schroder.
