Lakers: Acquired Luka Doncic, Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris for Anthony Davis, Max Christie and a future first-round pick. Also traded Dalton Knecht, Cam Reddish, a 2031 unprotected first-round pick and a 2030 pick swap to the Charlotte Hornets for Mark Williams.

Even though it's 16 months away, summer 2026 was the dominant factor in this week's surge of deadline dealing.

The Lakers’ acquisition of Luka Doncic was the biggest move of the week, even if plenty of other teams were also able to improve.
