With the 2024 NBA trade deadline nearing, things are starting to heat up across the league as teams find ways to improve. The season has been unpredictable, to say the least, with almost less than a handful of teams finding the consistency they would have hoped for.
Barring the Boston Celtics, Minnesota Timberwolves, OKC Thunder and LA Clippers, no other team has struck a good balance. That's led to other playoff contenders hitting the trade rumor mill as the NBA trade deadline looms.
Meanwhile, few teams expected to be in playoff contention faced dramatic drop-offs, which could turn them into heavy sellers. Multiple franchises are seemingly headed in that direction, and their dealings could dictate the market heavily.
The NBA trade deadline dealings have rarely changed a franchise's trajectory, but the feeling around the league is seemingly different, especially with how things went down last year. Superstars like Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving were surprisingly on the move.
From a team's perspective, the LA Lakers entirely changed their fortunes by flipping their seemingly regressed assets like Russell Westbrook and other role players into pieces that guided them to a conference finals run.
The struggling contenders in the market could follow the trend and make big moves without hesitation.
With a bevy of trades and other moves expected, here's a look at all the deals completed leading up to the 2024 NBA trade deadline:

Major highlights leading up to 2024 NBA Trade deadline
James Harden to Clippers
One of the biggest deals occurred in November when the Philadelphia 76ers traded James Harden to the LA Clippers. Harden got his desired move early in the season, contrary to rumors that suggested he could be traded by the NBA trade deadline, which seems to have worked out well for him after a rough 0-5 start. The Clippers are one of the top teams in the NBA right now.
OG Anunoby to Knicks
Anunoby's departure meant the Raptors have seemingly begun their fire sale, showing an inclination towards a rebuild after a subpar start. Meanwhile, the Knicks made their intentions clear to continue building a well-balanced team around Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle.
However, rumors suggest the Knicks continue coveting a star addition, so this may not be their only deal ahead of the 2024 NBA trade deadline.
Pascal Siakam to Pacers
The Pacers have come out as the winners of the Pascal Siakam sweepstakes. The former All-Star had many suitors, but the Pacers were probably the only team with the assets needed to complete the deal. NBA champion Bruce Brown was shipped to Toronto along with Kira Lewis Jr., Jordan Nwora and three first-round picks.
The Pacers managed to keep hold of their young assets in exchange for the draft compensation. Siakam will form one of the NBA's best trios alongside Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner.
Rozier to Heat
Rozier to the Heat is one of the Heat's biggest moves in two and a half years since they acquired Kyle Lowry in the 2021 offseason. The Heat's next big move has ironically come by trading Lowry to get Rozier. Miami could be quiet for the rest of the trade season until the NBA trade deadline. They might make marginal upgrades at best.
Guess the Lakers players!
