For all of the latest trade deadline action, follow SN's Thursday live blog HERE.
With less than 48 hours to go until the NBA trade deadline, there are rumors flying all around the league.
We've already seen a few blockbusters go down with Kristaps Porzingis heading to the Mavs and Tobias Harris being sent to the 76ers. It was only a few weeks ago it felt like there would be little action ahead of Thursday's 3 p.m. ET cutoff, but that certainly isn't the case now.
SN EXCLUSIVE: Davis' list has Bucks owner thinking big
And as though anyone could forget, the Anthony Davis saga will continue to hang over the rest of the NBA until the deadline passes. The Lakers reportedly backed out of talks with the Pelicans over "outrageous" demands from New Orleans, but that doesn't mean Los Angeles can't jump back into the AD conversation at any moment.
SN will help you track all of the trade chaos below. Here are the latest reported deals and speculation ahead of Thursday's deadline.
