The 2017 NBA trade deadline itself turned out to be a little underwhelming, with no big-name players moved in the last few minutes before 2:00pm CT, and teams like the Celtics, Cavaliers, Pacers, and Pistons standing pat. However, a couple notable players were on the move today, and a few interesting names – including one All-NBA center – were traded in the days leading up to February 23.
Here’s a recap of 2017’s deadline deals, starting with the moves completed today…

Still trying to wrap my mind around the Chicago trade. Gibson should’ve gotten them a first rounder. Cam Payne is a good players but I can’t see him being more than a back up point guard. Amazing move for the Thunder, they are definitely getting the better end of the deal. I really like the moves Toronto, L.A., and Brooklyn made too. Sadly Chicago will be cursed with an inept front office.
Especially when you already have 3 point guards in the team , rondo , mc3 and grant now Payne ? How many do they need ?
Dallas made the best deal
Yep…agree
Ok the 76ers trading Noel for a pick they probably won’t get makes 0 sense to me
I know….Cuban bent them over
How he bent philly over we got essentially 3 players for a 1 way player who will earn about 90 mill i wouldve liked a better return but Sacramentos deal lowered the price tag on bigs
I don’t love the sixers deal but they didn’t get bent over. Noel is going to get 5 for 90 mil even as a RFA and the sixers decided he wasn’t worth that, so they traded him for something instead of nothing. It was a clear buyers market out there
@hen1chc if it doesnt make sense to you then you dont know basketball should philly have kept noel paid him byombo money to back up jojo not smart at least something was acquired rather then him walking for 0
They should’ve traded okafor in that instance and kept noel
Boston better sign a couple guys who get bought out. Target 2 of Jones, Bogut, Sullinger. Probably in that order.
Bogut would be a good fit
Bogut or Jones would be ideal.
If the Lakers and Heat picks convey to the 6ers this it year,we could end up with 2 top 10 picks,as well as 2nds from Ny,Dal,Mia & Atl.
Embiid,Okafor,Simmons,Saric,Holmes,Rco,Anderson,Luwawu,Stauskas,McConnell,Bayless,Randle,and maybe Henderson and Korkmaz.
Should make for an interesting offseason.
And the 87ers should have a good team next year.
Raptors,Magic,Hornets,Thunder get a A Grade.
Mark Cuban says hello.. I like what the raptors did too though
Sup mark Cuban haha
How can you give the hornets an A though?
I meant Pelicans.
Bulls front office getting bent over, as usual.
So you trade Taj and Douggy Buckets but get another Point Guard with minimal ceiling and some scraps. Yet, you keep Rondo the locker room cancer, and don’t trade for Okafor.
And give up a 2nd rounder
Like what Toronto and OKC did
so nothin really happened then
Cuban probably bullied the 76ers into that trade like he does with the refs.
Lol if the 76ers were bullied into a trade they are an even sadder organization than we already knew they were. Props for having a better front office than only the kings
Haha Cuban is the goat
LMAO at the Noel trade. The Sixers flipped a lottery pick they never should have drafted to begin with for a top 18 protected 1st round pick? So much for “The Process.”
Haha Cuban is the goat
