Tracking Every Move Ahead of the NBA Trade Deadline: Anthony Davis to Wizards

In this story:
Deals around the NBA are coming in steadily ahead of the trade deadline at 3 p.m. ET Thursday. In a surprise move Wednesday, the Mavericks reportedly traded Anthony Davis to the Wizards, while the James Harden–for–Darius Garland trade was finalized Tuesday. Some of the outstanding questions are whether the Bucks will move Giannis Antetokounmpo in season or wait until the offseason and if a market for Ja Morant develops. Sports Illustrated is tracking every move this season and will update throughout the week and on deadline day.
Feb. 4: Lonzo Ball reportedly traded, will be waived
To Jazz:
- G Lonzo Ball (from Cavaliers)
- Two future second-round picks (from Cavaliers)
- Cash considerations (from Hawks)
To Hawks:
- C Jock Landale (from Jazz)
Essentially a three-team trade that allows Jazz to pick up two seconds, the Hawks to land a productive center in Landale and the Cavaliers to shed significant salary and tax savings while bringing in James Harden, Keon Ellis and Dennis Schroder to fortify the roster this week. https://t.co/Jed7L9sNr6

Feb. 4: Chris Paul reportedly traded, expected to be waived
To Raptors:
- G Chris Paul (from Clippers)
To Nets:
- G Ochai Agbaji (from Raptors)
- 2032 second-round pick (from Raptors)
To Clippers:
- Rights to G Vanja Marinković (from Nets)
The Raptors will not require Chris Paul to report to the team and could still discuss trades involving him over the next day. Toronto is now out of the tax. Brooklyn picks up an asset and cash to cover Agbaji's salary. The Clippers clear a roster spot and save $7 million in tax. https://t.co/2Bu0sGZzJB

Feb. 4: Coby White reportedly traded to Hornets
Reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania:
To Hornets:
- G Coby White (from Bulls)
- G Mike Conley Jr. (from Bulls)
- Future second-round pick (from Thunder)
To Bulls:
- G Collin Sexton (from Hornets)
- F Ousmane Dieng (from Thunder)
- Three future second-round picks (from Hornets)
To Thunder:
- C Mason Plumlee (from Hornets)
With Mike Conley being traded from the Bulls in a separate transaction, if Conley is bought out in Charlotte, he would be eligible to return to Minnesota—something rival execs see as a possibility.

Trae Young, Anthony Davis. Solid young core. Maybe another top-eight pick on the way. Michael Winger and Will Dawkins have positioned the Wizards to be a threat in the East next season.
