2019 NBA Trade Deadline: Recap, Winners & Losers

2019 NBA Trade Deadline: Recap, Winners & Losers

The days leading up to the Feb. 7 NBA trade deadline saw a flurry of trades go down in the Association. There were some massive deals, including Kristaps Porzingis to the Mavericks and Tobias Harris to the 76ers, and some lesser (but still important) deals that shook up the outlook of many teams. After an exciting 2019 trade deadline, let’s dive into the winners and losers from all of the deals.

The Deals

Winners

Philadelphia 76ers
The Sixers made an unexpected splash by landing star forward Tobias Harris in a deal with the Clippers. Philly gave up a couple of role players, and two first-round and two second-round picks for Harris, but they were able to recoup the second-round picks by unloading former first-overall pick Markelle Fultz on the Magic. They also acquired forward Mike Scott and hulking center Boban Marjanovic — two players who will be valuable off the bench and create mismatches in the second unit. The Sixers now feature one of the most formidable starting lineups in all of the NBA in Ben Simmons, J.J. Redick, Jimmy Butler, Harris and Joel Embiid. At 35-20, Philly is the fifth seed in the East and only 6.5 games back of the first-place Bucks. By Thursday’s deadline, the 76ers created a lineup that will compete for a championship this season while moving on from Fultz and grabbing some picks and bench depth back. They’re big winners.
