While their Western Conference competitors engineered seismic deals that altered the NBA landscape — trading for Luka Dončić, Anthony Davis, Jimmy Butler and De’Aaron Fox — the Houston Rockets remained at a relative standstill as Thursday’s NBA trade deadline passed.

The NBA trade deadline is a hectic time for any player in the league, whether they’re perceived to be untouchable or not, as evidenced by the recent stunner that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Boston Celtics swung a trade ahead of Thursday's deadline, reportedly sending backup guard Jaden Springer to the Houston Rockets in a salary dump.

The Golden State Warriors were finalizing a trade Wednesday to acquire Miami’s Jimmy Butler in a deal that will send Andrew Wiggins to the Heat, a source said.

The Miami Heat continue to engage in talks for potentially trading Jimmy Butler, who was suspended for a third time after walking out of practice. Recent negotiations reportedly include a lower asking price.
