Orlando made a clearance sale, the Clippers got stronger with a veteran fighting fox and the player everyone was waiting to see where he would end up left in his place – and that’s just the tip of the fork. 23 teams and 46 players took part in 16 trades last night (Thursday) and broke 35-year-old records in another fascinating night from the creator of the NBA. The day after, we ranked the five trades that stole the trade show of the best league in the world. Do not agree? Takabko.

5. Rajon Rondo for the Clippers, Lou Williams and two second-round picks for Atlanta
It’s no secret that the Clippers have been looking for reinforcements in the point guard position, but who would have believed that they would give up on being selected as the sixth player of the season three times in the last decade. And the addition of two draft picks further testifies to the interest in Rondo, hoping he manages to recreate his great playoffs from last year and lead the Clippers, perhaps, to the championship title. One way or another, it seems that we can only judge this trade in real time.

4. Nikola Wojciech and Al-Farouk Amino to the Bulls, Wendell Carter, Otto Porter and two first-round picks for the Magic
It was clear that Orlando would be active in this trade window, but the waiver of the low-contracted All-Star surprised many. The Bulls took advantage of this and decided to give up several assets to get help in the playoffs. Wojciech has a contract for next season, so your move will have repercussions, but if it puts Chicago in the playoffs after doing so once in five years – that’s a blessing.


3. Owen Fournier for the Celtics, Jeff Teague and two second-round picks for the Magic
On the face of it, many expected Boston to try to get its hands on Gordon’s closet – and were disappointed to find that she finished with a purse in hand instead. In practice, the Celtics received a player with an average of 19.7 points who is in good shape – and almost gave up nothing for him. Cancel given that the second option was to give up Marcus Smart and two first-round picks for Gordon. Is that what will solve Boston’s problems, a big doubt – but it’s definitely going to take a toll on Taitum on Brown.

2. Victor Oladipo Hit, Avery Bradley, Kelly Olinik and the right to replace the 2022 draft pick for Houston
Miami’s name was mentioned quite a few times, but in each case it had to give up Duncan Robinson and / or Tyler Hiro. And here, wonder and wonder, the Heat got their hands on a star without giving up the two main players in the rotation. According to rumors, Oladipo, like quite a few others, has been interested in Miami for a long time – and the other side will be happy to receive such significant reinforcement ahead of the playoffs. Win Win Situation.

1. Gordon Ark for the Nuggets, Gary Harris, RJ Hampton and first-round pick for the Magic
Boston fans have already saved money to purchase Orlando star jerseys, but Denver performed a last-minute snatch and put her hand on the athlete shots that would add another threat to her from the outside. While the Lakers are injured, the Clippers are confused and the Jazz are still licking the wounds Denver caused her a few months ago – and knowing that Nicola Jukic and Jamal Marie are on your side – Gordon could turn out to be a tie-breaker.
