2025年NBA交易截止日正式落下帷幕，一系列令人眼花缭乱的交易引发了诸多讨论，让我们将目光继续聚焦于本赛季的剩余赛程。
卢卡·东契奇(Luka Doncic)被交易至洛杉矶湖人队，换取安东尼·戴维斯的重磅交易，拉开了一个激动人心的一周的序幕，而吉米·巴特勒与迈阿密热火队的肥皂剧也以戏剧性的方式收尾。
一连串的交易改变了NBA的格局，大大提高了东西部季后赛乃至未来的竞争 stakes。
我们应该如何看待这些重大的交易？谁将是下一个转会的超级球星？我们的NBA内部人士对这个具有历史意义的交易截止日，以及未来几个月我们应该关注的内容发表了自己的看法。
本赛季的交易截止日是____？
迈克尔·C·莱特(Michael C. Wright): 令人震惊且具有历史意义。西部的球星似乎都在四处流动。在洛杉矶，勒布朗·詹姆斯和东契奇组成了一个新的超级球星二人组。湖人队随后从夏洛特黄蜂队得到了马克·威廉姆斯，以帮助东契奇在空中接力方面更具威胁。安东尼·戴维斯和凯里·欧文现在将在达拉斯联手，独行侠队还通过交易得到凯莱布·马丁来加强侧翼。圣安东尼奥马刺队通过获得速度型控球后卫达龙·福克斯，与维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)搭档，从而加速了他们的重建。然后，勇士队终于得到了他们的球星吉米·巴特勒，他刚刚结束了本赛季我们见过的球员和球队之间最具戏剧性的僵局。
贾马尔·科利尔(Jamal Collier): 精彩！几周前，一位球队管理层人士告诉我，他正在准备一个平静的截止日，但我们却迎来了近年来最疯狂的一周。从东契奇交易的震惊，全明星和前球队基石（克里斯·米德尔顿、扎克·拉文、福克斯）都加盟了不同的球队，到最终解决了巴特勒的闹剧，这个截止日应有尽有。
戴夫·麦克梅纳明(Dave McMenamin): 提醒我们，在当今NBA竞争格局扁平化的情况下，少数球队会说服自己，他们只需要一次行动，就能从边缘参与者变成任何赛季的直接竞争者。这是NBA总裁亚当·萧华在代表新一代老板批准最新的劳资协议时所设想的平等。结果可能是王朝球队的匮乏，但球队管理层自发性激增，瞬间改变了球队的命运。
克里斯·赫林(Chris Herring): 不寻常且有趣。即使没有发生其他事情，东契奇-戴维斯交易的冲击本身也足以使截止日变得有趣。但是，看到其他全明星级别的球员，例如福克斯、巴特勒和拉文转会到其他俱乐部——其中一些以戏剧性的方式——使这成为一个值得纪念的一周。
蒂姆·麦克马洪(Tim MacMahon): 绝对疯狂。疯狂始于周末，当时独行侠队在半夜将东契奇送往湖人队，让这位正值巅峰的天才球员措手不及。这是NBA历史上最令人震惊的交易——联盟中的人们仍然在试图理解几天后——但这远非唯一的重磅炸弹，因为有多位顶薪球星被交易。
谁将是下一个转会的主要超级球星？
科利尔: 凯文·杜兰特。这里的一个重要秘密已经揭晓。本周，他的名字在交易传闻中被公开炒作，以至于他不得不公开表示他不想回到金州勇士队。太阳队上赛季被横扫，并且看起来本赛季将参加附加赛。又一次令人失望的结局可能意味着菲尼克斯三巨头的终结。
赫林: 必须是杜兰特。太阳队现在正处于这个三人组的第二个赛季，并且在上赛季首轮出局后，教练不断更迭，并且在西部排名第10，这根本行不通。即使杜兰特不想在金州勇士队，他也不希望他的职业生涯仅仅是为了争夺一个附加赛名额。
莱特: 凯文·杜兰特。关于可能交易布拉德利·比尔和杜兰特的所有谣言和猜测对于一支在西部排名第10的苦苦挣扎的球队来说，对更衣室的氛围来说不会是好事。德文·布克基本上是不可触碰的，而比尔拥有交易否决权。但是，如果杜兰特下赛季最终加盟一支新球队，会有人感到惊讶吗？太阳队已经在与勇士队就杜兰特进行谈判，杜兰特的合同还剩一个赛季。这些谈判当然没有增加菲尼克斯在今年夏天与他续约的可能性。
麦克马洪: 杜兰特是显而易见的答案，此前太阳队奇怪地允许交易猜测围绕这位历史级别的球星流传了几天，但没有达成协议。问题是，如果或当太阳队和杜兰特在今年夏天分手时，下一个多米诺骨牌是什么？太阳队历史得分王德文·布克一直坚称他想在菲尼克斯度过他的职业生涯，并以成为一支球队的球星为荣。但是，达米安·利拉德在最终提出交易请求之前，在波特兰“脚踏实地”了很长时间。如果太阳队继续朝着错误的方向发展，布克能有多大的耐心？
麦克梅纳明: 保罗·乔治或乔尔·恩比德。随着联盟中所有活动的激增，费城76人队以20胜30负的战绩甩掉了KJ·马丁的薪资负担，并用凯莱布·马丁与独行侠队交易了昆汀·格里姆斯。很难通过这些操作来提升恩比德、乔治、泰雷斯·马克西三人组的实力，以在下半程发力。除非出现巨大的转变，否则这支76人队将适合重建，而马克西是唯一一个年轻到足以坚持下去并看到类似情况的球员。
我们应该关注哪个休赛期/自由球员的举动？
麦克马洪: 除了一个即将加入30,000分俱乐部的成员可能被交易之外？我将选择杜兰特的前队友——并且永远不能排除未来的队友——凯里·欧文。他下赛季拥有价值4400万美元的球员选项，并且在达拉斯拥有很大的影响力，因为他是独行侠队在东契奇交易后的领袖和唯一的明星得分手。我敢打赌，欧文将以更高的价格与达拉斯签订一份长期合同。
赫林: 在交易得到布兰登·英格拉姆之后，多伦多猛龙队今年夏天将提供什么样的合同？在过去的一年中，人们对他几乎没有兴趣，新奥尔良鹈鹕队（和其他球队）不愿意给他渴望的顶薪合同。多伦多已经拥有几位高薪年轻人，包括斯科蒂·巴恩斯（五年2.24亿美元）、伊曼纽尔·奎克利（五年1.75亿美元）和RJ·巴雷特（未来两个赛季5700万美元），目前尚不清楚英格拉姆是否能很快将猛龙队推向明确的季后赛争夺。
科利尔: 在截止日期之前，芝加哥公牛队未能找到尼古拉·武切维奇的交易，但他们最终相信他们已经奠定了足够的基础，可以在夏季继续采取行动。武切维奇下赛季将签订一份价值2150万美元的到期合同，并且在交易拉文之后，芝加哥仍在寻找方法来继续推进其重建。
麦克梅纳明: 除了巴特勒之外，在潜在的交易场景中，可能没有比布鲁克林篮网队的卡梅隆·约翰逊更多的名字被提及了。这位28岁的摇摆人拥有一份有价值的合同——未来两年欠他4300万美元——他的攻防兼备的侧翼技术将受到任何有季后赛愿望的球队的追捧。
莱特: 看看勒布朗·詹姆斯在夏天会做什么将会很有趣。詹姆斯的合同中有一个球员选项，这可能会让他进入自由市场。预计在本赛季余下的时间里与东契奇并肩作战将给詹姆斯留下积极的印象。但这并不能保证。詹姆斯打算在交易截止日之后留在湖人队，但是从现在到今年夏天可能会发生很多事情，特别是如果詹姆斯没有看到洛杉矶在他的暮年真正有竞争力争夺总冠军的道路。
在交易截止日之后，你对哪支球队最感兴趣？
莱特: 圣安东尼奥马刺队。马刺队本赛季的目标是教他们的年轻球员如何持续赢得比赛，同时密切评估他们，以决定俱乐部将如何继续围绕文班亚马(Wembanyama)进行建设。代理教练米奇·约翰逊表示，这仍然是计划。但他强调，圣安东尼奥不会回避因获得像福克斯这样的球员而带来的期望。听起来约翰逊预计马刺队将真正冲击季后赛或附加赛，他们目前在西部排名第12位。福克斯能带他们到那里吗？
麦克梅纳明: 也许我带有偏见，但勒布朗·詹姆斯和东契奇的组合——两个比赛风格相似，年龄差距为15岁的超级球星——让我着迷。在截止日期之前，洛杉矶队正在崛起，并在达拉斯队交易后与东契奇缺席的首场比赛中击败了洛杉矶快船队。一旦东契奇上场，教练JJ·雷迪克能否保持球队的势头？或者，要求这支球队在比赛中找到新的定位并在本赛季立即争夺总冠军是否要求过高？
赫林: 在全明星赛之外看到卢卡和勒布朗在同一支球队中会很超现实。但除此之外，马克·威廉姆斯的加入很有趣。我不会猜测黄蜂队会交易他，只是因为他在上场时表现出了潜力。（虽然这个警告非常重要。）对于湖人队来说，鉴于他的伤病史，这是一个冒险。但如果他真的留在球场上，这可能会带来巨大的回报。
科利尔: 湖人队。东契奇在这支球队中的表现以及与勒布朗·詹姆斯并肩作战的期待使他们成为目前NBA中最有趣的球队。最重要的是，他们找到了威廉姆斯，他应该很好地适应他们，这使得他们更加引人注目。
麦克马洪: 在做出一项激怒了他们的球迷的惊人交易之后，独行侠队面临着现在就获胜并取得巨大胜利的巨大压力。我尚未与一位同意尼科·哈里森决定的竞争对手高管交谈过——理由是在放弃一位25岁的天才球员或未能从东契奇的交易中获得最大回报之间存在分歧——但大多数高管认为达拉斯队在获得全NBA中锋安东尼·戴维斯和有前途的3D侧翼马克斯·克里斯蒂之后，有能力再次进入季后赛。
你对截止日期前没有被交易的球员最感到惊讶的是谁？
麦克梅纳明: 这不是最令人惊讶的，但鹈鹕队在交易了英格拉姆之后，CJ·麦科勒姆仍然留在新奥尔良，而德章泰·穆雷遭遇了赛季报销的伤病，至少令人感到惊讶。这位33岁的球员本赛季有四场比赛得到36分以上，并且认为他会想加入一支朝着不同方向前进的球队是可以接受的。他下赛季价值3070万美元的到期合同将使他成为选秀和自由球员时期下一个交易周期中的主要交易候选人。
莱特: 可以理解的是，新奥尔良队没有在交易截止日交易锡安·威廉姆森。由于本赛季的伤病过多，鹈鹕队还没有真正有机会看到他们所有的天赋都在球场上。尽管威廉姆森拥有巨大的天赋，但整个职业生涯中，耐用性问题一直困扰着他。新奥尔良至少探索一下它可以通过交易获得什么来与其有天赋的新秀（例如特雷·墨菲三世和赫伯·琼斯）并肩作战是有意义的。
赫林: 克里斯·布歇，他是猛龙队任职时间最长的球员，也是2019年总冠军球队中唯一剩下的球员。他身高6英尺9英寸，并不是最高的，但他仍然是一位多才多艺的大个子。他臂展为7英尺4英寸，并且以接近38%的命中率投出三分球，场均出手4次，他的效率和得分都创下了职业生涯新高。
麦克马洪: 卡梅隆·约翰逊在截止日期前没有被交易并不令人惊讶，因为最近有关此可能性的传闻已经平息。但是一个月前，约翰逊被认为是本赛季中期最有可能转会的影响球员。布鲁克林不会放弃对约翰逊的高要价，约翰逊是一位多才多艺的6英尺8英寸的侧翼球员，场均得到19.3分，投篮命中率为41.7%。他的交易价值将保持在高位，合同还剩两年，下赛季的薪水降至2050万美元，然后在2026-27赛季回升至2250万美元。
科利尔: 感觉公牛队会在截止日期前再采取一项行动。要么交易武切维奇，因为他们相信他们可以在休赛期获得更好的报价，因此未能兑现他的职业生涯最佳投篮赛季；要么交易朗佐·鲍尔，他们选择续约他；要么解散他们过多的后卫——科比·怀特（他们接到了有关他的询问，然后决定留下他）、约什·基迪、阿约·多孙穆、鲍尔和新获得的后卫特雷·琼斯和凯文·赫尔特。芝加哥甚至扣留了它最新收购的球员，包括前锋扎克·科林斯，因为他们预计他们会在截止日期之前找到一种方法来重新安排他们。

NBA trade deadline reaction: Biggest surprises, stars on the move and more
The 2025 NBA trade deadline is officially behind us with a whirlwind of deals that have left much to be discussed as we continue through the rest of the regular season.
The blockbuster trade of Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis kicked off an exciting week also highlighted by the dramatic end of the Jimmy Butler saga with the Miami Heat.
A cascade of deals has altered the landscape of the NBA, raising the stakes even higher in both conferences for the postseason and beyond.
What should we make of these major deals? Who will be the next superstar on the move? Our NBA insiders give their takes on this historic trade deadline and what we should keep an eye on in the coming months.
This season’s trade deadline was ____?
Michael C. Wright: Shocking and historic. The stars in the West seemingly moved all over the place. In Los Angeles, a new superstar duo of LeBron James and Doncic has emerged. The Lakers then grabbed a lob threat to help Doncic in Mark Williams from the Charlotte Hornets. Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving will now team up in Dallas, and the Mavs also added wing help in trading for Caleb Martin. The San Antonio Spurs hit the gas on their rebuild by acquiring speedy point guard De’Aaron Fox to pair with Victor Wembanyama. Then, the Warriors finally landed their star in Jimmy Butler, who just ended arguably the most dramatic standoff between a player and team we’ve seen this season.
Jamal Collier: Fun! A few weeks ago, a front office executive told me he was preparing for a quiet deadline and instead, we got one of the wildest weeks in recent memory. From the shock of the Doncic trade, All-Stars and former franchise cornerstones (Khris Middleton, Zach LaVine, Fox) all landing on different teams to finally resolving the Butler drama, this deadline had a little bit of everything.
Dave McMenamin: A reminder why, with the flattened competitive landscape in today’s NBA, a handful of teams will convince themselves they are only a move away from being a peripheral participant to a direct contender in any given season. This is the type of parity NBA commissioner Adam Silver envisioned when he ratified the latest collective bargaining agreement on behalf of a new wave of owners. The result could be a dearth of dynastic teams, but a surge in spontaneity from front offices that changes the fate of their franchises in an instant.
Chris Herring: Unusual and interesting. If nothing else had happened, the shock of the Doncic-Davis deal would have been a big enough bombshell on its own to make the deadline interesting. But watching other All-Star caliber players such as Fox, Butler and LaVine move clubs – some in dramatic fashion – made it a memorable week.
Tim MacMahon: Absolute madness. The insanity started over the weekend when the Mavericks blindsided a pre-prime generational talent by sending Doncic to the Lakers in the middle of the night. That was the most shocking trade in NBA history – a deal people around the league are still trying to wrap their heads around days later – but far from the only blockbuster as several maximum-contract stars were moved.
Who will be the next major superstar on the move?
Collier: Kevin Durant. The cat is out of the bag in a major way here. His name was floated so publicly in trade rumors this week that he had to make it known he didn’t want to land back in Golden State. The Suns were swept last season and look headed for the play-in tournament this season. Another disappointing finish could mean the end for Phoenix’s big three.
Herring: It has to be KD. The Suns are now in the second season with this trio and after a first-round exit last season, a rotating door of coaches and sitting at No. 10 in the West, it simply isn’t working. Even if Durant doesn’t want to be in Golden State, he can’t want the end of his career to merely be about chasing a back-end play-in spot.
Wright: Kevin Durant. All the rumors and speculation regarding potentially trading Bradley Beal and Durant can’t be good for the vibe in the locker room for a team struggling at 10th in the West. Devin Booker is essentially untouchable, and Beal has a no-trade clause. But would it surprise anyone if Durant ended up with a new team next season? The Suns were already in talks with the Warriors for Durant, who is under contract for one more season. Those talks certainly didn’t increase the likelihood of Phoenix signing him to an extension this summer.
MacMahon: Durant is the obvious answer after the Suns strangely allowed trade speculation to swirl around the all-time great for days and didn’t close on a deal. The question is, what’s the next domino if or when the Suns and Durant divorce this summer? All-time Suns leading scorer Devin Booker has been adamant that he wants to spend his career in Phoenix, putting a lot of pride in being a one-franchise star. But Damian Lillard was “10 toes down” in Portland for a long time before finally requesting a trade. How patient can Booker be if the Suns keep going in the wrong direction?
McMenamin: Paul George or Joel Embiid. With all the flurry of activity around the league, the Philadelphia 76ers and their 20-30 record traded away KJ Martin in a salary dump and swapped Caleb Martin for Quentin Grimes with the Mavericks. Hardly the maneuvers to try to boost the Embiid, George, Tyrese Maxey trio to make a second-half run. Barring a wild turnaround, this Sixers group will be ripe for a rebuild and Maxey is the only one young enough to stick around to see something like that through.
What offseason/free agency move should we keep an eye on?
MacMahon: Aside from a soon-to-be member of the 30,000-point club potentially being traded? I’ll go with Durant’s former – and can never rule out future – teammate Kyrie Irving. He has a $44 million player option for next season and a lot of leverage in Dallas as the Mavs’ leader and only star shot creator in the wake of the Doncic deal. I would wager on Irving remaining in Dallas on a longer-term deal with a raise.
Herring: What sort of contract will the Toronto Raptors offer Brandon Ingram this summer after trading for him? There’d been little interest in him on the trade market for the better part of the last year, with the New Orleans Pelicans (and other teams) reluctant to give him the max deal he coveted. Toronto already has several high-priced youngsters in Scottie Barnes (five years, $224 million) Immanuel Quickley (five years, $175 million) and RJ Barrett ($57 million over the next two seasons), and it’s unclear whether Ingram catapults the Raptors into clear playoff contention anytime soon.
Collier: The Chicago Bulls weren’t able to find a trade for Nikola Vucevic before the deadline, but they came away believing they laid enough groundwork to continue making moves over the summer. Vucevic will be playing on an expiring $21.5 million contract next season and Chicago is still looking for ways to keep its rebuild pushing forward after trading LaVine.
McMenamin: Aside from Butler, there might not have been a name mentioned more in potential trade scenarios than Cam Johnson of the Brooklyn Nets. The 28-year-old swingman has a value contract – with $43 million owed to him over the next two years – and his two-way wing skill set would be coveted by any team with postseason aspirations.
Wright: It’ll be interesting to see what LeBron James does over the summer. James has a player option in his deal that could allow him to enter free agency. It’s expected that playing alongside Doncic for the rest of this season will make a positive impression on James. But that’s not guaranteed. James intends to remain with the Lakers beyond the trade deadline, but a lot can happen between now and this summer, especially if James doesn’t see a path for Los Angeles to legitimately compete for titles in his twilight years.
Which team are you most intrigued by after their trade deadline moves?
Wright: The San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs entered the season looking to teach their young players how to win consistently while closely evaluating them to decide how the club will continue to build around Wembanyama. Acting coach Mitch Johnson said that’s still the plan. But he stressed that San Antonio won’t shy away from the expectations that come with acquiring a player such as Fox. It sounded as if Johnson was expecting a legit postseason or play-in tournament push for the Spurs, who currently sit at No. 12 in the West. Does Fox get them there?
McMenamin: Perhaps I’m biased, but the launch of LeBron James and Doncic – two superstars with parallel games and a 15-year age gap between them – fascinates me. L.A. was on the rise before the deadline and dismantled the LA Clippers in its first game after the Dallas deal with Doncic on the sidelines. Will coach JJ Redick be able to keep his team’s momentum once Doncic gets onto the court? Or is it asking too much for this team to find a new identity on the fly and immediately contend this postseason?
Herring: It will be surreal watching Luka and LeBron on the same team outside of an All-Star game setting. But beyond that, the Mark Williams pickup is interesting. I wouldn’t have guessed the Hornets would deal him, just because he had shown upside when he was available. (Although that caveat is a massive one.) It’s a risk for the Lakers given his injury history. But it could lead to a huge payoff if he does stay on the court.
Collier: The Lakers. The anticipation of what Doncic will look like on this team and playing next to LeBron James makes them easily the most intriguing team in the NBA right now. On top of that, they found a center in Williams who should fit well next to them, making them all the more interesting to watch.
MacMahon: The Mavericks have massive pressure to win now and win big after making a stunning trade that enraged their fan base. I’ve yet to speak to a rival executive who agreed with Nico Harrison’s decision – reasoning was split between giving up a 25-year-old generational talent or failing to maximize the return from trading Doncic – but most of those execs consider Dallas to be capable of another deep playoff run after acquiring All-NBA big man Anthony Davis and promising 3-and-D wing Max Christie.
Which player are you most surprised did not get traded before the deadline?
McMenamin: It’s not the most surprising, but the fact that CJ McCollum is still in New Orleans after the Pelicans traded Ingram and Dejounte Murray sustained a season-ending injury at least raises an eyebrow. The 33-year-old has four games with 36-plus points this season and it would be acceptable to think he would want to be on a team heading in a different direction. His expiring $30.7 million contract for next season will make him a prime trade candidate in the next trade cycle around the draft and free agency.
Wright: Understandably, New Orleans didn’t move Zion Williamson at the trade deadline. Due to this season’s plethora of injuries, the Pelicans haven’t gotten a real chance to see all of their talent on the court. Despite Williamson’s immense talent, durability concerns have plagued him throughout his career. It made sense for New Orleans to at least explore what it could acquire in a trade to play alongside its talented up-and-comers such as Trey Murphy III and Herb Jones.
Herring: Chris Boucher, the longest-tenured Raptor and lone remaining player from the 2019 title team. At 6-foot-9, he’s not the tallest, but he’s still a multifaceted big man. With a 7-4 wingspan and shooting nearly 38% from 3 on four attempts per game, he is posting career-best efficiency and scoring numbers.
MacMahon: It wasn’t surprising that Cam Johnson didn’t get traded before the deadline since rumors had recently quieted about the possibility. But a month ago Johnson was considered the most likely impact player to be moved midseason. Brooklyn wouldn’t budge from its high asking price for Johnson, a versatile 6-8 wing averaging 19.3 points while shooting 41.7% from the field. His trade value will remain high with two years left on his contract, which dips to a $20.5 million salary next season before bumping back up to $22.5 million in 2026-27.
Collier: It felt as if the Bulls would make one more move before the deadline. Either trading Vucevic, failing to cash in on his career shooting season because they believed they could get better offers in the offseason; Lonzo Ball, whom they chose to extend instead; or breaking up their gluttony of guards – Coby White (about whom they fielded inquires before deciding to keep him), Josh Giddey, Ayo Dosunmu, Ball and newly acquired guards Tre Jones and Kevin Huerter. Chicago even held out its newest acquisitions, including forward Zach Collins, in anticipation they would find a way to reroute them before the deadline.
