Lonzo Ball
January 2026
Reports say Ball is being sent to Utah in a three-team structure and is expected to be waived, making him a free agent once he clears waivers. The write-up cites Ball’s reduced production/role, major knee surgery history, and remaining contract structure (one year left plus a team option), while noting the Hawks add Landale.
James Harden
January 2026
Multiple reports say the Clippers are sending Harden to Cleveland for Garland plus a future second-round pick, reuniting Harden with the East and pairing him with Mitchell. The framing is win-now for Cleveland with a 36-year-old high-usage scorer, while the Clippers get a 26-year-old two-time All-Star guard to reset their timeline. Lue publicly praised Harden’s impact as the reports surfaced.
Jaren Jackson Jr
January 2026
ESPN’s Shams Charania reported a major multi-player deal: Memphis would send Jackson Jr., Konchar, Landale and Williams Jr. to Utah for Clayton Jr., Anderson, Hendricks, Niang and three future first-round picks. The report frames it as deadline-driven roster reshaping, with Memphis cashing in a core forward for picks and rotation pieces, while Utah adds a star-level frontcourt talent plus depth. No confirmation language included in the text.
Vít Krejčí
January 2026
Atlanta is reportedly trading Krejčí to Portland for Reath and two future second-round picks, addressing Portland’s shooting need while Atlanta adds draft assets. Krejčí’s 3-point shooting is positioned as a fit for a low-efficiency Portland perimeter attack; Reath is out for the season after foot surgery, making the picks the primary usable return for Atlanta.

Cleveland reportedly sent Hunter to Sacramento; Cleveland received Schröder and Ellis; Chicago received Šarić and two second-round picks. Cleveland adds depth and reduces tax impact; Sacramento pivots toward rebuild; Chicago takes salary plus draft compensation as part of the three-team structure.
Trae Young
January 2026
Young was introduced to Wizards fans during a loss but did not play due to knee and quadriceps issues, with his return date unclear. Washington acquired him without giving up draft picks, sending CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert to Atlanta. The Wizards say the long-term rebuild continues, with Young expected to help organize and elevate their young core once healthy.
Trae Young
January 2026
Reports say Trae Young is heading to Washington in a major trade, with CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert moving to Atlanta as both teams reshuffle early in 2026. Young and the Wizards’ incoming players were held out as reports emerged. Atlanta officials avoided details postgame. The move follows heavy trade chatter, with Young’s contract situation and Atlanta’s record without him adding context.
Seth Curry
December 2025
Golden State have signed veteran guard Seth Curry for the rest of the season, reuniting him with brother Stephen on an NBA roster for the first time, after Seth impressed last year with Charlotte by leading the league in three point percentage at 45.6. Fresh from a strong shooting season and a history with the Warriors’ G League affiliate, Seth joins a team currently missing Steph due to a quad contusion, giving Steve Kerr another elite spacer while the brothers wait for medical clearance to finally share the floor in regular season action.
Ja Morant (Memphis Grizzlies)
Current 2025–26 NBA season, with Morant out injured
As Memphis struggle at 7–12, league chatter has started to link Ja Morant with a possible move, with the Toronto Raptors mentioned by insiders as a speculative destination for a high level lead guard to push their 14–5 team deeper into contention.
Reported interest centres on Toronto’s need for a primary ball handler alongside Scottie Barnes and Brandon Ingram, with Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett viewed as possible trade pieces. Any deal would be complex due to Morant’s dip in form, current calf strain, and two remaining contract years at over 40 million dollars each.
