The NBA trade deadline arrives on Thursday at 3 p.m. ET, but the festivities began in earnest late Saturday night, when the Dallas Mavericks stunned the basketball world by sending Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for a package headlined by Anthony Davis.

The Warriors missed out on Zach LaVine, but still have bigger fish in mind. That could include a possible reunion with Kevin Durant.

The Suns (25-23) sit in eighth in the Western Conference, just one game ahead of the Warriors (24-24). As the likelihood of Butler joining the Suns seemingly continues to dwindle, it could potentially open up a path for Durant to make a stunning return to the Warriors.
