The Nets traded Vince Carter and Ryan Anderson to the Magic for Rafer Alston, Courtney Lee, and Tony Battie.

The Bucks traded Richard Jefferson to the Spurs for Bruce Bowen, Kurt Thomas and Fabricio Oberto.

The Bucks traded Fabricio Oberto to the Pistons for Amir Johnson.

The Timberwolves traded Randy Foye and Mike Miller to the Wizards for  the number 5 overall pick, Etan Thomas, Darius Songaila and Oleksiy Pecherov.

The Warriors traded Jamal Crawford to the Hawks for Acie Law and Speedy Claxton.

The Blazers traded the 24th pick in 2009, the number 56 pick in 2009, and a second round pick in 10 to the Mavericks for the 22nd overall pick.
