Welcoming the new player doesn’t mean that you don’t miss the teammates, like Anthony Davis, Max Christie and Jalen Hood-Schifino, who were traded away.

The modern football swap deal with the most parallels is the acrimonious agreement that took Ashley Cole from Arsenal to rivals Chelsea on summer transfer deadline day in 2006, in return for William Gallas and £5m in cash.

The Dallas Mavericks are still the most polarizing team of the trade deadline, and moves have been made since they dealt Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.
