Here is a look back at the most important news from the NBA's busiest week:
- Dwight Howard is staying put in Orlando, as the Magic center agreed to waiver his early termination option and remain with the team through the end of next season.
- The Nuggets signed Wilson Chandler to a five year, $37MM deal.
- The Clippers will keep Bobby Simmons for the rest of the year and the Nets will keep Gerald Green. Both players were on their second 10-day contracts.
- The Spurs reached an agreement with Patrick Mills, who spent most of the year playing in China.
- The Nuggets, Wizards and Clippers agreed to a three-way deal that sent Nick Young to the Clippers, JaVale McGee and Ronny Turiaf to the Nuggets and Nene Hilario, Brian Cook and a 2015 second round pick to the Wizards. Turiaf was then waived by Denver.
- Greg Oden and Chris Johnson were waived by the Blazers. Portland also fired coach Nate McMillan.

- The Pacers acquired Leandro Barbosa from the Raptors for a second round pick and cash.
- The Lakers got the point guard they were seeking in Ramon Sessions in exchange for a first round pick and Luke Walton. To make room in their background, they shipped Derek Fisher to Houston for Jordan Hill. Fisher was then bought out by the Rockets, who also acquired Marcus Camby.

- The Sixers traded a second round pick for Sam Young and bought out Andres Nocioni.
