Trade rumors were swirling in a competitive title chase, as franchises looked to make upgrades or sell off before this afternoon's NBA trade deadline. 

While the Raptors had already shipped out big names in Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby, there was plenty of bait still available as the countdown to 3 p.m. ET wore on. Sportsbooks, naturally, posted NBA futures for trade deadline odds bettors to dig into.

But with the deadline now passed, several teams expected to make a splash in the trade markets balked, with most of the rumored big names staying put.

We broke down the NBA odds for the trade deadline and brought you the latest updates up until the deadline. Here's a recap of the past few days' activity.

NBA trade deadline next team odds

(Editor's Note: These markets have been taken off the board as of Thursday morning, but here's a look at where they closed Wednesday evening.)

D'Angelo Russell next team odds

Team DraftKings
Lakers Los Angeles Lakers -115
Hawks Atlanta Hawks +320
Bulls Chicago Bulls +500
Trail Blazers Portland Trail Blazers +1,800
Pistons Detroit Pistons +2,000

D'Angelo Russell hasn't exactly had a smooth career since his All-Star nod in 2019, proving to be a difficult system player who's often chided for taking as much away from the table as he brings to it. On a Lakers team that's roundly underachieved this season, he's been a prime target for a needed shakeup.

Well, whether it's an effort to endear himself to the Lakers or boost his trade stock, DLo had his best stretch in recent memory in January, dropping 22.7 ppg on a molten-hot 46% from 3-point range.

He's been most linked in rumors with the Hawks, as L.A. looks to upgrade its backcourt. Bringing us to...

Dejounte Murray next team odds

Team DraftKings
Hawks Atlanta Hawks +120
Lakers Los Angeles Lakers +300
Spurs San Antonio Spurs +1,200
Knicks New York Knicks +1,200
Magic Orlando Magic +1,400

Dejounte Murray has always been a bit of an awkward fit next to a player as ball-dominant as Trae Young, marginalizing his playmaking ability in the Hawks' offense.

Fortunately for him, the Hawks have been fairly lousy this season (10th in East), prompting the front office to wonder if it's time to jettison Murray before likely losing him in free agency for nothing this summer. 

The Lakers have expressed interest, and Murray's also been linked in rumors to his former home in San Antonio. DraftKings feels he's the most likely to be moved, as the only player listed on their deadline odds who's not odds-on to remain with his current team.


DeMar DeRozan next team odds

Team DraftKings
Bulls Chicago Bulls -165
Lakers Los Angeles Lakers +550
Rockets Houston Rockets +1,800
Hawks Atlanta Hawks +2,000
76ers Philadelphia 76ers +2,000

The Chicago Bulls have been in purgatory for several seasons, burdened by an increasingly horrific trade for Nikola Vucevic and the tragic demise of Lonzo Ball's legs. Lost in all the existential dread is that DeMar DeRozan is still a pretty darn good basketball player, but the question remains if he offers what the teams in the market for upgrades need.

DeRozan, effective as he is, is still a midrange assassin who seems comically allergic to incorporating the 3-point shot into his diet. Spacing is perhaps the principal need of both the Lakers and 76ers, making it tough for either franchise to pull the trigger on an expensive piece that may fit poorly.

Alex Caruso next team odds

Team DraftKings
Bulls Chicago Bulls -200
Warriors Golden State Warriors +700
Lakers Los Angeles Lakers +900
76ers Philadelphia 76ers +1,300
Knicks New York Knicks +1,300

Alex Caruso's name has been somewhat absent from credible trade rumors, with the Bulls reportedly unwilling to deal the coveted combo guard despite multiple overtures.

But while the Bulls are right to value a smart, high-effort veteran who can capably hit 3s and defends at an all-world level, he's not a needle-mover on going-nowhere Chicago and could be in another uniform.

With several teams seemingly interested, the Bulls might be smart to drum up a bidding war instead of clutching a prized asset who lacks real purpose for them.

Kyle Kuzma next team odds

Team DraftKings
Wizards Washington Wizards -200
Mavericks Dallas Mavericks +800
Kings Sacramento Kings +1,000
Lakers Los Angeles Lakers +2,000
Warriors Golden State Warriors +2,000

Your guess is as good as mine just what the Wizards are trying to do at this deadline. Already firmly in the tank race for lottery odds, Washington's only motivation for moving a rotation player and disturbing the wonderful harmony of awfulness they've cultivated is a competitive haul of future assets.

Teams like the Kings and Mavericks — the two franchises seemingly most interested — might be somewhat desperate to make a move in a deep West where the rest of the competition seems to be leveling up. But Kuzma's on a sneaky-great declining contract that took its biggest hit ($25m) this season, paying Kuz what will be peanuts ($19m) after cap inflation by the deal's end in 2026-27.

It may take more than those West pseudo-contenders are willing to cough up.

Is that trend sustainable, or did that team benefit from opponent injuries, scheduling quirks, or garbage-time noise?"
