Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis was only the start. After a thrilling and bewildering week, it’s time to parse through the winners and losers of the 2025 NBA trade deadline.

If the Miami Heat plan to wash their hands with Jimmy Butler, they must do so before the upcoming Feb. 6 trade deadline. Swapping their disgruntled superstar for a thriving Denver Nuggets wing may be the most logical move for the franchise.

For Butler, that is trying to win his first championship with the Warriors and proving they were right to pursue and extend him. For the Heat, that’s finding the next guy to wrap the cape of #HeatCulture around, and let Butler know he was just another player for an organization that always finds a way to be successful.
