The closing of the NBA transfer market has been, one more year, full of emotion. Numerous moves, some big and some small, that have turned the league upside down in recent days. Now, we analyze who has won from this madness.
market winners
Daryl Morey
The General Manager of the Philadelphia 76ers is definitely a winner. He’s gotten rid of a problem (Ben Simmons) and got a superstar (James Harden) and barely had to give anything up. Tyrese Maxey and Mathise Thybulle will remain in Philadelphia and the Sixers can capitalize on Joel Embiid’s MVP moment.
Kristaps Porzingis
The ‘Unicorn’, although he doesn’t know it yet, has come out on top. In Dallas he never fit in and would never have the desired status in the shadow of Luka Doncic. The Wizards They get a special player who, if injuries respect him, will pair with Beal to achieve a fearsome duo.
Phoenix Suns
Sometimes doing nothing is the best way to do things right. Phoenix is the best team in the NBA today and you know the saying: “if something works, don’t touch it“That’s what those from Arizona must have thought, who trust their block and want to repeat in the NBA Finals.
Ben Simmons y Kyrie Irving
Be careful, because this does not mean that the Nets win. However, Irving wanted Harden out and Simmons He had been crying out for months to get out. The movement allows both things to be reality. Now, she has to capture the success on the field.

market losers
Brooklyn Nets
The experiment never worked. The most powerful Big-Three in history He barely shared the court a handful of times and we will be left wanting to see what they could have in the playoffs. Now, a new era begins in Brooklyn with Ben Simmons.
Sacramento Kings
Really, what do they do? It seems that they are tired of making a fool of themselves on Draft night and want to do it in the middle of the year. Yes, they receive Domantas Sabonis but they get rid of one of their best bets for the future, You Haliburton. Things have to go very well for this to be a success.
Dallas Mavericks
The only reason to transfer to Porzingis can be seen as a success is because moving two contracts of 17 million is easier than moving one of 32. Seen the transfer, it is clear that the value of the Latvian was minimal but even so… The Mavericks did not want to bet on this year and they will pay for it.
Los Angeles Lakers
What do they do? Any. In the case of the Lakers, one no longer knows if this is good or bad. What is clear is that his season is already lost and that moving to Westbrook it was practically impossible. Angelenos and LeBron They will have to finish the year as they can and dream of a summer that smiles at them.
