Which NBA players are on the move?

The most impactful deals of the summer were made by the Utah Jazz. Three-time Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert is headed to the Minnesota Timberwolves, while All-Star Donovan Mitchell was dealt to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a surprise move.

And Kevin Durant? He remains a member of the Brooklyn Nets after rescinding his trade request in late August.

A trio of deals went down in the days leading to the NBA draft: The Oklahoma City Thunder acquired JaMychal Green from the Denver Nuggets, the Dallas Mavericks traded for Christian Wood in a deal with the Houston Rockets and the Portland Trail Blazers got Jerami Grant from the Detroit Pistons.
