Here, we go through the major highlights of the NBA trade window 2025.
The world wasn’t ready when the Mavs traded their star Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers to join forces with icon LeBron James. Anthony Davis had moved to Dallas a few days before the trade deadline.
It was then the fans and the NBA fraternity realized that it was not going to be a regular deadline! Something crazy was coming!!!!
While nothing could top the Luka-Davis deal, as Feb. 6 was approaching, fans saw a few head-spinning moves unfolding. Former Miami Heat and often-suspended forward, Jimmy Butler, who was anticipated to move to the Phoenix Suns, found his new home with Steph Curry’s Golden State Warriors.
Another star who was rumored to be jetting off to his new team was the Phoenix Suns’ forward Kevin Durant. There were talks of him reuniting with Curry in the Bay Area. However, per Shams Charania, Durant had made it clear that he had “no desire for a reunion with the Golden State Warriors.”
