Now that the dust has settled on the 2025 NBA Trade Deadline, I wanted to take a high-level view of what every team did. The full details of every trade made this season, including how the salaries matched and the particulars of which draft pick was moved are in my tracker. This is just a more succinct look of who or what came in and out, listed in order of championship odds on the DraftKings Sportsbook as of February 8th along with each team's current record.
Only four teams (the Nuggets, Timberwolves, Magic, and Trail Blazers) didn't make a trade, so there is plenty to take in across the league. I also listed which players were cut in corresponding moves with the deals, and signings to fill the vacated roster spots. Finally, any draft compensation listed as "fake" is a pick that isn't likely to convey.
