A flurry of last-minute activity rewrote the NBA record book between last Sunday and Thursday, as 28 trades involving 73 players were completed before the league’s 3:00 p.m. ET deadline. Both figures mark new highs for a single trade-deadline week.
League observers are still unpacking the avalanche of transactions, looking for patterns, salary-cap wrinkles and lesser-known details buried in the paperwork. Earlier examinations centered on two minor swaps that changed once additional information surfaced hours or days later. Attention is now turning to several headline moves finalized ahead of Thursday’s cutoff, including separate trades featuring Anthony Davis, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Ivica Zubac.
The ongoing reviews aim to highlight how front offices balanced roster needs, future first-round picks and the league’s stricter hard-cap rules while negotiating under intense time pressure. Additional analysis is expected in the coming days.
