The trade deadline is coming up tomorrow. There have already been some big moves and lots more rumored. Here's what has happened so far:
Houston has sent SF Corey Brewer and a 2017 first round pick to the Lakers for combo guard Lou Williams.
New Orleans jumped into the playoff race by sending SG Buddy Hield, combo guards Langston Galloway and Tyreke Evans, a top 3 protected first round pick, and a second round pick to Sacramento for DeMarcus Cousins and F Omri Casspi.
Toronto sent SF/SG Terrence Ross, along with a first round pick, to Orlando for PF Serge Ibaka.
Portland traded Mason Plumlee and a first round pick to Denver for Jusuf Nurkic and a second round pick.
Charlotte sent Roy Hibbert and Spencer Hawes to Milwaukee for Miles Plumlee in a move no one understood or cared about.
Cleveland also dumped Chris Andersen's salary on Charlotte to open up a roster spot since Andersen is done for the year, and possibly for his career.
There are still some major rumors going around. Boston owning Brooklyn's first round pick this year puts them in position to land a superstar. The major rumors now are Jimmy Butler, Paul George, and possibly Blake Griffin.
Brook Lopez is also on the market, and apparently Brooklyn has lowered it's asking price to just one first round pick instead of too. Thanks Sacramento.
The Wolves apparently are interesting in swapping Rubio for Rose, which would be a huge mistake in my opinion.
Denver is apparently open to competing and selling. They are currently looking at what deals are available for Gallinari, Mudiay, Chandler, Faired, etc. Pretty much everyone is available by Jokic and maybe Murray.
Portland is allegedly listening to offers for Lillard, but I wouldn't hold my breath on that one.
Chicago has said everyone is available but Butler, despite Butler's name being mentioned in trade rumors since summer.
Philly is shopping Okafor, but are trying to sell him 3rd overall pick value which he has shown he clearly is not, so it's hard to say if he'll get moved.
P.J Tucker is drawing interest, but his name is usually popping up around this time.
Detroit is exploring options on Drummond and Jackson. Drummond won't go anywhere, but Jackson might due to his poor performance and the team's W-L record since his return.
Bojan Bogdanovic is garnering interest and it looks like a matter of when he will be traded, not if he will be traded.
Utah looks interested in bringing Deron Williams back. No word on what Dallas would want in return. My guess would be Shelvin Mack or Jeff Withey with a second round pick. Williams won't grab a first rounder and Utah shouldn't even consider moving Exum or Burks.
Washington is in desperate need of a backup PG, so look for them to make a move in that respect.
With Terrence Ross gone, Toronto is looking for another wing.
Cleveland doesn't appear to be done making moves. Shumpert is the most common name coming up in trade talks.
