Jake LaRavia transitioned from the Memphis Grizzlies to the Sacramento Kings amid a career-best season. Despite his performance, the Grizzlies opted against his fourth-year contract extension, making him an unrestricted free agent. With Sacramento, the Kings face a dilemma: if LaRavia excels, rival teams could outbid them for his services. The Kings can only offer him $5.2 million for the first year of a new contract. Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors acquired James Wiseman, recovering from Achilles surgery, while the Indiana Pacers traded him to free up roster spots. The Grizzlies dealt veteran Marcus Smart to the Wizards and Dennis Schröder landed with the Detroit Pistons. The Clippers secured Bogdan Bogdanović from the Hawks, trading away Terance Mann and Bones Hyland. Other notable moves included De'Andre Hunter to the Cavaliers and Jusuf Nurkic to the Hornets, amidst a flurry of trades as the deadline approached.
