This page records all official trades that take place nba trades today, and will be updated with league approval as it occurs. It's designed to be used over the course of an entire day, or even a week — you bookmark it now because during the fast-paced period we call deadline week (the 2026-27 deadline is Thursday, Feb. 11, 2027 at 3:00 PM ET), several deals can go off at the same time within minutes of each other, and that's when we'll follow them live.
Last updated: September 16, 2026. The deals listed here are confirmed against the official NBA transactions log, and won't appear in this section unless it's confirmed by an NBA insider.
Kawhi Leonard trade: Clippers ↔ Raptors (completed September 15, 2026). After agreeing to the deal in late June, the Los Angeles Clippers and Toronto Raptors officially made the Kawhi Leonard trade permanent over the last week. The Los Angeles Clippers and Toronto Raptors officially finalized the Kawhi Leonard deal last week after the two sides first agreed to the trade in late June. The delay stemmed from the NBA's investigation into the Clippers front office and their deal with a team sponsor to endorse Leonard, which league commissioner Adam Silver said was final before the deal was done. In return, the Clippers are getting back Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick and several draft picks/pick swaps to Toronto.
This is the biggest trade to get league approval this week. Currently, much of the action is from the leftover offseason schedule as opposed to urgency of the trade deadline, which is still five months away, so watch for a move to be more closely related to February.
Note that at this time, there is no other trade that has been publicly reported as agreed (but not completed) other than the Leonard deal above. This section is for that inbetween state: one where both sides agree to a deal and it's been reported by credible insiders, but yet to get its final approval from the league office. There are still things that can change in that window (draft picks protections change, a third team gets added to make salaries equal), so a deal doesn't get moved to the confirmed section above until the paperwork is done. Be sure to return often – once the market gets moving again, this section becomes very busy, especially as training camps begin and again as the February deadline approaches.
A trade will impact a team's situation — and sometimes right now — sometimes after the pieces are finally on the board. The Leonard trade is a perfect illustration of two timelines in one.
The Raptors are now a game to watch in the East for Toronto, as Leonard has joined their roster as a healthy, motivated player and their ceiling will remain in question due to his health history based on the number of games played in the season. On the other hand, the return package (Ingram, Dick and picks) from the front-office scandal means the Clippers will be more focused on a younger group and more draft capital next season after the extra picks, so a turnaround in the standings next season is a possibility.
As is the case with every trade, the reaction in the betting market will tell the tale before any analysis can. So, look for Toronto's regular season winning total and playoff seed to rise as quickly as this trade is priced in, and for the Clippers' numbers to fall.
All bets in this page have an actual, immediate impact on the betting board, and that's where you will see it first at Sports OKBet. The odds on moneylines, spreads, and season win totals of both teams in a guaranteed trade usually change in minutes after the league approves the deal, and futures markets, such as championship odds, conference winners and award races, follow suit once a team's rotation is known.
While the odds may look better for the Raptors or Clippers in their upcoming game after this deal, it's better to take that bet now than wait for one-off promos that are attached to a game. This is a standing offer and not a trade-specific increase, but it works for both teams' next game, so there's no reason not to play a trade-reaction bet you would play otherwise.
Another bankroll tip to follow around any trade-day betting: don't wager a large portion of your bankroll when you add a player to your roster; it can take days, even weeks, for them to appear in game results, so don't bet on them more than you would on anyone else.
One of the more colorful days in the sports calendar where you can find value is on a trade-day, but one of the easiest to overreact to is also a trade-day, as a team suddenly becomes a contender or a rebuild one day and the next due to the paperwork getting done. Compare their response to the betting market based on their perception of the new line-up's performance in games, and only bet what you're willing to lose.
The latest confirmed trade is for Kawhi Leonard to return to the Toronto Raptors from the LA Clippers, which took place on September 15, 2026 for the acquisitions of Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick and draft picks.
A trade does not get added to the confirmed category until it is confirmed to the NBA registry of trades, regardless of how reliable a media report is from an "insider" — even if it's from a reliable source, it stays in the "pending league approval" category until it is officially confirmed.
A deal agreed to by both parties can be delayed when a league reviews a franchise's compliance with their cap or when a sponsorship deal occurs. The Leonard trade was the latest one, which the two sides agreed to in June but only went through in September as the league concluded its inquiry into the Clippers.
This page is updated manually once trades have been approved by the league and the frequency of updates will ramp up significantly during deadline week with the 2026-27 deadline set for Feb. 11, 2027, so expect the same day updates, and possibly multiple updates per day, as that deadline nears.
The moneyline, spread, and futures market will usually change within minutes of a sportsbook's receipt of a trade approval from the official league and particularly so when the trade involves star level players such as those in the Olympics.
