Weegar Traded to Utah Mammoth, Recasting Flames’ Defense with Prospects and Picks

The Calgary Flames moved defenseman MacKenzie Weegar to the Utah Mammoth in exchange for defenseman Olli Maatta, forward prospect Jonathan Castagna, and three 2026 second-round picks (owned by Utah, the Rangers and the Senators). Weegar waived his no-trade clause and is signed through 2030-31 with a $6.25M cap hit. He’s having a down year (21 points, -35 in 60 games) after a 47-point season in 2023-24, though his prior underlying metrics had been strong. The Mammoth aim to bolster their defense with a mix of left- and right-handed players; Castagna is a 6'2" center who has 14 goals and 18 assists in 29 games at Cornell this season, and Maatta’s role has diminished in Utah, with the 31-year-old under contract for two more seasons after 2025-26 at a $3.5M cap hit.

Bulls hit deadline hard, retooling with youth in seven-trade blitz

The Chicago Bulls executed seven trades at the NBA trade deadline, moving eight players (including Dosunmu, Vučević, White and Dalen Terry) and adding seven new players—Jaden Ivey, Nick Richards, Leonard Miller, Collin Sexton, Anfernee Simons, Guerschon Yabusele and Rob Dillingham—while also benefiting from prior deals that brought Dario Šarić. They’ve expanded their draft-exchange with 14 total second-round picks and are pursuing cap flexibility for a youth-focused rebuild, all amid lingering chatter about a Giannis Antetokounmpo-sized upgrade that remains unlikely given their assets.

Jazz land Lonzo Ball in three-team deal but plan to waive him

The Jazz completed a three-team trade to acquire Lonzo Ball from Cleveland but plan to waive him shortly after, moving Ball’s $10 million salary off Cleveland’s books; Utah sent Jock Landale to Atlanta and gained Cleveland’s 2028 and 2032 second-round picks, while Ball has been hampered by injuries and has averaged about 4.6 points on ~30% shooting this season.

Sixers Trade Jared McCain to Thunder for 2026 Draft Capital

The Philadelphia 76ers traded Jared McCain to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Houston’s 2026 first-round pick (which the Thunder control) and three second-rounders (2027, 2028, and Milwaukee’s 2028). McCain, a former top-20 pick, has battled injuries and reduced playing time, while OKC adds a cost-controlled guard and more draft capital. The move helps Philly address luxury-tax considerations and create trade flexibility; there are also rumors of additional moves involving Ousmane Dieng and Mason Plumlee.

Blazers Fetch Vit Krejci from Hawks in Reath-for-Picks Swap

Portland acquires guard Vit Krejci from Atlanta in exchange for center Duop Reath and two future second-round picks (including Atlanta’s own 2027 pick back and a Knicks 2030 pick). Krejci, averaging 9.0 points and 2.2 three-pointers per game this season, gives Portland a welcomed 3-point threat as Reath heads to Atlanta after season-ending foot surgery; the deal also sparks questions about how Caleb Love and Sidy Cissoko’s two-way contracts will be handled.
