What time is the 2023 NBA trade deadline?
This years NBA trade deadline is set for 3 p.m. ET on Thursday, Feb. 9.
Suns land Kevin Durant in blockbuster trade with Nets
- Suns receive: Kevin Durant
- Nets receive: Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder, 2028 pick swap, first-round draft picks in 2023, 2025, 2027 and 2029
Mat Ishbia isnt playing around.
He was introduced as the Phoenix Suns new owner on Wednesday, and within hours, his team acquired a future Hall of Famer.
For Phoenix, the acquisition of Durant immediately makes them a top contender in the Western Conference and the NBA at large. The Nets, meanwhile, overhauled their franchise on the fly, picked up some promising players and reloaded on draft capital that they lacked after trading for James Harden in 2021.
Jakob Poeltl returns to Toronto
- Raptors receive: Jakob Poeltl
- Spurs receive: Khem Birch, protected 2024 first-round pick, two second-round picks
Poeltl was one of the most coveted centers in this years trade market, and now hes back with the team that took him with the ninth overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft. The 27-year-olds contract expires at the end of this season.
By moving off of Poeltl, the 14-41 Spurs are improving their chances in the Victor Wembenyama sweepstakes.
Josh Hart, Jalen Brunson reunited with Knicks
- Knicks receive: Josh Hart
- Trail Blazers receive: Cam Reddish, Svi Mykhailiuk, protected first-round pick

- Timberwolves receive: Mike Conley, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, second-round picks in 2024, 2025 and 2026
The Los Angeles Lakers 2027 and 2029 first-round picks were some of the biggest assets surrounding this years trade deadline, and they packaged one to build a more well-rounded roster this season. Like Poeltl, Russell is back with the team that drafted him, and he will make the move to L.A. with former Jazz role players Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt.
Mike Conley will take Russells place in Minnesota, but dont expect Russell Westbrook to suit up in Utah.

- Nets receive: Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, 2029 first-round pick, 2027 and 2029 second-round picks
The KD-Kyrie era in Brooklyn ended before the Nets traded Durant to the Suns.
Two days after Irving requested a trade out of the Big Apple, the Nets obliged him with a move to Dallas. Irving debuted for the Mavs on Wednesday and scored a team-high 24 points in a win over the Los Angeles Clippers.
Kings acquire Kessler Edwards from Nets
