NBA trade updates are some of the most anticipated news in all of sports. Just as well as trades can totally change the course of a team, and even the league itself. While there are other big news events like free agent signings and the draft, trades are often more surprising and have a bigger impact.

There are several championship teams that won it all in the same season that they made a groundbreaking trade. Recent example is the Anthony Davis trade to the Lakers. There is Kawhi Leonard with the Toronto Raptors. Also, the 2008 Boston Celtics, which saw Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen going to Beantown.
