With the calendar now firmly into 2023 and the NBA Trade Deadline of February 9th fast approaching, it's time to create another transaction tracker! This will be a one stop shop listing every in-season NBA trade, when it happened, who first reported it (as far as I know), and who/what was involved to look back on like last year's. The format will be like the offseason tracker where I add each new deal to the top to make it easy to see any updates, and the color code as usual is player option, team option, and not fully guaranteed along with estimates. Otherwise, these cap numbers are courtesy of Keith Smith at Spotrac.com.
2/10 Update:
Now that I can breath a little bit after the deadline has passed, I wanted to put together a final results list for each team. I'll just keep it simple here at the top since all of the details are below, and command+F is definitely a friend on this page to compare salaries and the actual draft picks involved. The teams are in order of their championship odds on DraftKings Sportsbook as of today.

Clippers finally add a backup center (Feb. 9, Woj)
Clippers receive:
Hornets receive:
2028 2nd round pick
This is a much more straightforward move for Charlotte than their three-way trade below. Plumlee is averaging career-highs of 12.2 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 3.7 assists, but he turns 33 next month, is a pending free agent, and obviously is not a key piece on a young team that is 15-41. You get a pick now and let him play for a playoff contender while likely opening up a roster spot after buying out Jackson. Good deal.
This fills a big hole on LA's roster as they were relying on small-ball and players on two-way contracts behind workhorse Ivica Zubac. Jackson had a nice run for them, especially in the 2021 playoffs, but they have been looking for a change at point guard and benched him last month. With the moves they made not returning a point guard target like VanVleet, they're either really committed to having Paul George run the offense next to Terance Mann and new addition Hyland, or they're confident they'll get someone in the buyout market. There's already talk that George is recruiting former Thunder teammate Westbrook to stay home in LA.
