Will teams make major or minor moves? Will contenders try to upgrade? Will rebuilding teams try to acquire younger players and assets?

Will Detroit trade Andre Drummond? Can Oklahoma City move Chris Paul and his massive contract? Do the Thunder even want to trade him now that the playoffs are a real possibility? Will Philadelphia make a season-altering trade?

From NFL plays to college sports scores, all the top sports news you need to know every day.

Prior to this week, NBA teams have executed a couple trades this season, but more are expected as we get closer to the deadline.

Here are the completed deals as we close in on the the NBA's deadline at 3 p.m. ET on Thursday:

Sixers get much-needed shooting, scoring help (Feb. 6)

► Sixers get: Alec Burks, Glenn Robinson III; Warriors get: Three second-round draft picks (2020, 2021, 2022)

► Analysis: The Sixers need help offensively and Burks and Robinson can provide that. This season for the Warriors, Burks averaged 16.1 points and shot 37.5 percent on 3-pointers, and Robinson averaged 12.9 points and shot 40 percent on 3s. This eases the disappointment from losing out on Robert Covington. 

Heat land Iguodala from Grizzlies (Feb. 5)

► Heat get: Andre Iguodala; Grizzlies get: Justise Winslow

► Analysis: Miami is making a push at the Eastern Conference championship by trading for Iguodala who is a respected veterans with championship experience. Memphis was determined to get something for Iguodala, and it did. The Grizzlies front office is doing solid work.

Kings acquire Parker, Len from Hawks (Feb. 5)

► Kings get: Jabari Parker, Alex Len; Hawks get: Dewayne Dedmon, two second-round picks (2020, 2021).

► Analysis: Dedmon wanted out of Sacramento for a chance at more playing time after signing a three-year, $40 million deal with the Kings in the summer. Parker can score and rebound, and the Kings need scoring. Another team will try to find room for Len in the rotation.

Covington to Houston; Capela to Atlanta (Feb. 4)

► Rockets get: Robert Covington, Jordan Bell; 2024 second-round pick (from Hawks via Golden State Warriors); Hawks get: Clint Capela; Nene; Timberwolves get: Malik Beasley, Juan Hernangomez, Jarred Vanderbilt and Evan Turner; 2020 first-round pick (from Hawks via Brooklyn Nets); Nuggets get: Keita Bates-Diop, Noah Vonleh, Shabazz Napier and Gerald Green; 2020 first-round pick (via Rockets) 

► Analysis: The trade season kicked off in earnest with this four-team, 12-player blockbuster deal. The Rockets get a swingman to bolster their defense and one-two punch of James Harden and Russell Westbrook in hopes they can return to the Western Conference finals with a small-ball lineup. They had to give up center Clint Capela, long rumored to be on the trading block. Capela, who is averaging 13.9 points and 13.8 rebounds, joins a young team building around Trae Young. Atlanta also waived forward Chandler Parsons, who was injured last month in a car accident.

Cauley-Stein heads to Dallas (Jan. 24)

► Mavericks get: Willie Cauley-Stein; Warriors get: 2020 second-round pick (via Utah)

► Analysis: When the Mavericks lost Dwight Powell for the season Jan. 21 with a ruptured right Achilles tendon, they needed a replacement big man and they got one in Cauley-Stein. He averaged 7.9 points and 6.2 rebounds for Golden State, which saves about $5.6 million in luxury tax payments.

Blazers acquire Ariza from Kings (Jan. 18)

► Blazers get: Trevor Ariza, Caleb Swanigan, Wenyen Gabriel; Kings get: Kent Bazemore, Anthony Tolliver and two second-round picks (2024, 2025)

► Analysis: Portland trims more than $12 million from its luxury tax bill, and Ariza might be able to help with the Blazers' perimeter defense. The Kings now have expiring contracts in Bazemore and Tolliver and an open roster spot for another potential move. 

Timberwolves trade Teague to Atlanta (Jan. 16)

► Hawks get: Jeff Teague, Treveon Graham; Timberwolves get: Allen Crabbe

► Analysis: In Teague, who started his career with Atlanta, the Hawks acquire a quality back-up and help for young point guard Trae Young. The Timberwolves hope Crabbe, who is in the final season of his contract, can help with outside shooting.

Cavaliers send Clarkson to Utah (Dec. 24)

► Jazz get: Jordan Clarkson; Cavaliers get: Dante Exum, two second-round draft picks (2022, 2023)

► Analysis: The Jazz need a scoring boost off the bench, and they got that in Clarkson. The Cavaliers want draft picks and will see if they can get production from Exum, who has one more season left on his contract.
