Let's wheel and deal, folks. The NBA Draft is upon us, and while there are plenty of questions about where guys will be selected, there's also plenty of questions about where teams will select. Philadelphia, Charlotte and Utah all seem willing to trade down, Oklahoma City apparently wants to trade up, and Brooklyn has five (!) first-rounders that it can't possibly use all of... right?

Here's all the action that has already occurred. Stay tuned as we update you on all the trades that go down on draft night — it seems like we could be in store for a busy night.

NBA Draft Trade Tracker: Every deal that goes down during NBA Draft


Second round trades

Timberwolves trade No. 31 to Suns for No. 36, two future seconds

Phoenix is going to select St. Joe's forward Rasheer Fleming with the pick, according to Shams Charania. Phoenix is loading up on defense in this draft, first with Khaman Malauach, and now Fleming in the early second round.

  • Nets trade No. 36 to Suns for two future second-rounders
  • Lakers acquire no. 45 from Bulls for No. 55 and cash
  • Utah moves up to take national champion Walter Clayton Jr.

    The Jazz have a clear goal in this first round — get buckets. They used pick No. 5 on Ace Bailey, and just traded for the Wizards' No. 18 pick, which they'll use to pick Florida guard Walter Clayton Jr, who climbed up draft boards after a thrilling March Madness run.


    Thunder trade No. 24 to Sacramento, which selects Nique Clifford

    One of my personal favorite players in the draft, Colorado State utility man Nique Clifford is headed to Sacramento as the Kings traded a 2027 first-rounder that is top-16 protected. Sam Presti might officially have too many picks that he doesn't know what to do with them.


    Pelicans trade unprotected 2026 first-rounder to move up 10 picks

    Woah. The New Orleans Pelicans are sending an unprotected 2026 first-rounder to Atlanta for the No. 13 pick in this draft, which they will use to select Derik Queen.

    I'm all for going and getting your guy, but... that's a steep price, especially for a New Orleans team that may be near the bottom of the West standings.

    Blazers trade pick No. 11 to Memphis for two picks, Grizz take Cedric Coward

    The deals are flying now. Portland traded its No. 11 pick to Memphis for No. 16, a 2028 first-rounder and two second round picks, according to Shams Charania of ESPN.


    Hornets trade Mark Williams to Suns for two first-round picks

    Woah. After Williams' trade to Los Angeles was rescinded this season after failing a physical, he now heads to Phoenix, which also drafted Duke center Khaman Maluach at pretty much the exact same time. It's a big man party in the desert now!


    Spurs, Pacers kick off draft night trades with pick swap

    The first trade of draft night is... kind of boring. The San Antonio Spurs traded the No. 38 pick in this draft to the Pacers for a future second-rounder and cash, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. This makes tomorrow night a little more interesting for Indiana — they now have No. 38 and No. 54, and could package them to move up even more.

    League-changing? Maybe not. But we're off!


    Kristaps Porzingis heads to Hawks, Nets snag pick No. 22

    The Nets saw the chance to get another pick — their fifth first-rounder — and took full advantage, in a trade that also landed them Terence Mann. If they use all five picks, they will become the first team ever to draft five players in the first round.


    Pelicans get No. 40 in trade with Wizards

    The Wizards and Pelicans made a surprising deal just about 24 hours before the draft, in a trade that sends Jordan Poole to New Orleans and CJ McCollum to Washington. In the deal, NOLA also gets the No. 40 pick in this draft, now their only second-rounder and third pick total in this draft.
