On February 7, Beijing time, the NBA trade deadline has passed, and many transactions have taken place in recent days, with many stars changing teams. So which teams are the winners and which are the losers through these trades? Based on the views of major American media, the Lakers, Spurs, Cavaliers, and Hornets became the winners, while the Mavericks, Suns, Hawks, and Bulls were considered losers.

Winner 1: Los Angeles Lakers

A week ago, there was no hope for the future of the Lakers, and James was 40 years old. But at this time, Pelinka made a series of big trades in exchange for the 25-year-old supergiant Doncic, and also in exchange for Ma Wei to strengthen the interior line. This team suddenly has the brightest future in mind, after all, a 25-year-old MVP-caliber star who has a supporting role can be full of anticipation.

What's more, Doncic's trade didn't hurt the Lakers, who used the chips they saved to bring in Ma Wei, and overall, the Lakers sent away thick eyebrows, Knecket, Reddish, Christie, and two first-round picks and draft swaps, but got the best trade asset in history (Doncic) and a starter-caliber center. The Lakers also kept Hachimura and Reaves. The Lakers are undoubtedly the number one winner.

Winner 2: San Antonio Spurs

The Spurs brought in future point guard Fox without losing their best young player assets. They kept Vassell and Castle, and even Keldon Johnson didn't send them away. Paul and Barnes are two veterans who can continue to help young people grow.

With Fox, the Spurs have improved significantly, and they are expected to make the playoffs. In addition, the Spurs still have a large number of draft picks at their disposal, and they can use their performances in the second half of the season to assess what more help Fox and Wemban need to complete more operations in the offseason.

Winner 3: Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cavaliers have the best record in the East, but they didn't rest on their laurels and completed a 7-for-1 trade on the deadline to get the Hawks' wing Hunter.

The only weakness in the Cavaliers' starting lineup is the small forward, and the arrival of Hunter fills that void. He is better suited to the needs of the team than LeVert and Niang, and he can further enrich the team's tactics, and the Cavaliers can play small ball when needed. Hunter has been in the best form of his career this season, averaging 19 points and 3.9 rebounds per game while shooting 39.3 percent from three-point range, and if he can maintain that form, the Cavaliers will be the favorite to win the championship this season.

Winner 4: Charlotte Hornets

Of all the seller teams, the Hornets are probably the most reaping. They have had some quality returns through trades, and while Mark Williams is indeed in great form, he has a worrying injury history, and with him in exchange for Knecht and an unprotected first-rounder, the Hornets can't hope for more.

Knecht's range can help Sanju and Miller create more attacking space, and the future of these three youngsters is worth looking forward to.

Loser 1: Dallas Mavericks

This deal turned Harrison from an obscure general manager to what Dallas fans called a "terrible general manager." The more details of the negotiations come to light, the worse he is evaluated. Because even if he had to trade Doncic, he would get too little in return.

Some fans complained that Harrison exchanged a 25-year-old peak supergiant for a 32-year-old glass man insider. The American media ridiculed such a trade as a crime, after all, Doncic just led the Mavericks to the Finals last season. In addition to this deal, they also traded Grimes for Caleb Martin, another trade that was also determined to be a loser. The Mavericks are betting on the present, and if they can't win the championship, they will be a complete failure.

Loser 2: Phoenix Suns

The Suns had ambitions to bring in Butler, but they couldn't find a team to replace Beal, and a deal for Durant didn't go through. Although they got Richards, they also sent away the defensively active Okogie, and although they got rid of Nurkic, they also mortgaged the future of the team.

The problem is that the Suns split their 2031 first round into three low-value first-rounders in exchange for Butler, and now the failure to pursue Butler also means that the Suns have been busy for a long time. What's more, Durant and Beal are certainly not in a much better mood.

Loser 3: Atlanta Eagles

The Hawks were very active at the trade deadline, but looked more like they were sending warmth. They sent Hunter to the Cavaliers and Bogdan to the Clippers, and it looked like a bad team's operation. The problem is that it doesn't make sense for the Hawks to swing because their 2025 first-round pick is in the hands of the Spurs.

Nine defeats in the past 10 games have made the Hawks' ranking all the way down, and seeing such a scene, the Spurs will probably wake up laughing when they sleep.

Loser 4: Chicago Bulls

The Bulls finally sent LaVine away, but the chips they got didn't come in handy in a follow-up trade, and they should have sent Vucevic away if they had completely rebuilt, but Vucevic stayed with the team in the end. The Bulls are still in poor form, which is expected to be very disappointing for their fans.
