Our NBA trade tracker for the summer of 2023 is now live. We look at NBA trades today with grades and analysis for each of these basketball trades, regardless of how small they might be. Here is our latest NBA trade news as teams jockey to dethrone the defending champion Denver Nuggets.
Who got traded in the NBA today?
Bradley Beal traded to the Phoenix Suns in blockbuster
- Suns get: Bradley Beal
- Wizards get: Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, 2nd-round picks, pick swaps
We don’t have the full details of the draft picks and pick swaps heading to Washington in this blockbuster. It’s also highly likely that Paul is rerouted to another team with the Los Angeles Clippers being a likely destination. It’s the start of a rebuild under new front office head Michael Winger in D.C.
From the Suns’ perspective, they form a big three with Beal, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. That’s three players who have averaged well over 25 points over the past three seasons. Though, Phoenix now only has four players under contract for next season.
- Suns: A
- Wizards: C+

Latest NBA trades
Denver Nuggets, Oklahoma City Thunder swap draft picks
- Nuggets get: 37th pick in 2023 NBA Draft, 2024 first-round pick, 2024 second-round pick
- Thunder get: 2029 first-round pick
As far as recent trades go, this one was a bit baffling. Denver pulled it off as the team was on its way to winning the NBA Finals against the Miami Heat. In the process, the Nuggets created a ton of flexibility for the summer months. They now have the 37th and 40th picks in the 2023 NBA Draft. Adding a first and second rounder next year was just icing on the cake.
The Nuggets are now expected to use these assets as a way to trade into the first round of the NBA Draft. As for Oklahoma City, this deal didn’t make a whole lot of sense. It’s going to be all about the protections included in the pick Denver sent to the Thunder.
- Nuggets: A+
- Thunder: D
