Rob Dillingham is leaving the Minnesota Timberwolves for the Chicago Bulls as part of the first deal of the NBA deadline day, according to reports. Guard Dillingham and forward Leonard Miller will join the Bulls in return for Ayo Dosunmu and Julian Phillips, ESPN has said (via NBA.com). The 10th-placed team in the Eastern Conference will receive four future second-round picks as part of the agreement, the outlet added.

At 1:46 PM on Tuesday, February 4th, the entire direction of the Wizards' franchise changed. Washington made the move to acquire future NBA Hall-of Famer Anthony Davis, a deal that came out of nowhere in the NBA world. There has been little to no connection between the Wizards and Davis in recent weeks, with Washington largely expected to make smaller moves at the deadline.

The Portland Trail Blazers have shored up their bench depth ahead of Thursday's Feb. 5 trade deadline. ESPN's Shams Charania reports that Portland is offloading the contract of injured deep-bench center Duop Reath and two second-round draft picks to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for sharpshooting 6-foot-8 combo guard Vit Krejci. Per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, Atlanta is getting its own 2027 second-rounder back in the deal, plus the New York Knicks' 2030 second.
