Wizards acquire Anthony Davis in bizarre deal ahead of NBA trade deadline; WM Phoenix Open preview

 

  1. The Mavericks shipped Anthony Davis to the Wizards. Davis' tumultuous tenure with the Mavs came to an end on Wednesday when Dallas traded him to the Wizards in a rather surprising move. As part of a larger deal, the Mavericks received Khris Middleton and two future first-round picks. That said, don't let those first-round picks fool you. They aren't as good as they may seem, and that's why the Mavs scored poorly in our trade grades. At least Dallas came out looking better than Washington.
  2. The Los Angeles Kings acquired star winger Artemi Panarin from the Rangers. It was only a matter of time before the Rangers found a dance partner for Panarin, and the Kings got it done with a conditional third-round pick and prospect Liam Greentree. This deal was a slam dunk for Los Angeles, but it left a lot to be desired from the New York perspective, and the Rangers barely passed in our trade grades. As for the Kings, they now have the elite playmaker they've lacked for years. 
  3. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be sidelined through the All-Star break. Very little has gone wrong for the Thunder over the last year, but they have been hit with some adversity in the form of Gilgeous-Alexander suffering an abdominal strain. The reigning MVP will be out at least through the All-Star break. Oklahoma City has just five games until then, meaning Gilgeous-Alexander is not currently in any danger of missing the 65-game awards threshold.
