NBA 2024 Offseason Trades: All deals completed so far
The 2024 NBA trade season is underway. Several shake-ups are expected across both conferences. A couple of trades have already come to fruition, leaving NBA fans stunned as it was almost unpredictable to see those deals coming through. With the draft a few hours away, more such transactions could be in the works.
Rumors are flying around about potential maneuvers teams could make to gain a position in the draft to recruit their preferred choice, either by trading their way down or way up. Meanwhile, some picks and selections could get flipped in favor of win-now players, especially for contending teams.
With the new CBA, it's a priority for front offices to be sharper than ever to boast a deep roster while staying within the first apron and maintaining flexibility to make moves until the deadline if needed.
NBA Finalists Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks have given the blueprint to teams on how to build the right team, and many struggling teams could follow their strategy.
2024 NBA Offseason Trade Tracker: All deals so far
1) Thunder swoop into the Alex Caruso sweepstakes
The OKC Thunder tipped off the 2024-25 NBA trade season by acquiring Alex Caruso from the Chicago Bulls, parting ways with 2021 lottery pick Josh Giddey on Jun. 21.
