Many fans of NBA teams are anxiously watching for the latest trade news as the deadline for deals is quickly approaching. That officially hits as of Thursday at 3 PM Eastern Time. Meanwhile, a number of teams have made some deals happen. Here's a look at five that transpired very recently in the league.
Clippers trade Tobias Harris to Sixers
So far, this has been the biggest deal to take place ahead of the deadline. Philadelphia added a fourth star to their starting lineup in the hopes of advancing through the Eastern Conference. They now boast Harris with Jimmy Butler, Ben Simmons, JJ Redick, and Joel Embiid. With the trade, the Clippers cleared their roster and room for a possible attempt at Davis or other big free agents this summer.

Harrison Barnes traded during game
It's not often you see this happen to a player, but the Dallas Mavericks traded Harrison Barnes and then played him, literally. Barnes started for the Mavs and scored 10 points to go with three rebounds and an assist in a 99-93 win over the Hornets. He's now headed to the Sacramento Kings while Zach Randolph and Justin Jackson are coming to Dallas in the deal.

Porter Jr. to Bulls, Parker and Portis to Wizards
The Wizards and Bulls swapped several talented players as of Wednesday night. In the deal, Otto Porter Jr. heads to Chicago while Bobby Portis and Jabari Parker move to Washington, DC with the Wizards. The Wizards will also get a 2023 second-round pick to make things work out. Porter is set to become a restricted free agent this summer and is averaging 12.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, and two assists a game.
The Wizards are reportedly trading Otto Porter Jr. to the Bulls for Bobby Portis and Jabari Parker.

Thon Maker to Pistons, Stanley Johnson to Bucks
It's a quieter deal, but the Pistons and Bucks made a deal amongst division rivals. Milwaukee is leading the division, and the deal shouldn't hurt them. If anything it brings them a veteran guard. However, losing Thon Maker has hurt a few of the Bucks players who bonded with the young emerging star. One of those who expressed emotion over seeing Maker go is All-Star captain Giannis Antetokounmpo. Still, Greek Freak realizes that it's a good situation for Thon to get more playing time in Detroit.
The Pistons have reportedly agreed to a deal to send Stanley Johnson to the Bucks for Thon Maker.

Lakers make a trade, but not for Davis
The Lakers tried and tried to make a can't-pass-up deal for Anthony Davis but the Pelicans wouldn't budge. Still, Los Angeles made a move by trading for the Pistons' Reggie Bullock. Sure, he's no top-of-the-league star, but his three-point percentage will be more than welcome as an option for outside shooting in LA.
