The top five most influential trades in the NBA offseason so far

This summer's NBA offseason was full of entertainment. We’ve seen historic deals, shocking transfers and crazy moves that some teams have made to be more competitive. Here are the five most influential deals that have taken place so far.

5, Myers Turner, the Milwaukee Bucks

Bucks cut Lillard and signed a four-year, $107 million contract with Turner.

Cut off seriously injured Lillard, making room for Turner and adding $25 million worth of cap space over the next four to five years.

In addition, if Turner and Antetokounmpo can have a chemical reaction, they can form a dangerous frontcourt duo and make the Bucks a real threat to the East;

4, Lonzo Ball, the Cleveland Cavaliers sent Ocorro to the Bulls in exchange for Lonzo Ball.

The Knights wanted to keep Jerome, but the pressure of the luxury tax made them likely to give up on him.

As long as Ball stays healthy, his perimeter defense and organizational abilities can pose a real threat to the Cavaliers on the bench.

3. John Collins, the Los Angeles Clippers

A tripartite transaction, allowing the Clippers to send Powell and get Collins. His arrival provided Tyron Lue's lineup with much-needed athleticism;

2, Desmond Bain, the Orlando Magic, with Pope, Anthony and five future first-round picks, to get Bain from the Grizzlies.

Last season, the Magic were the worst three-pointers in the league. Bain's 39.2% three-point shooting percentage and 6.1 attempts per game undoubtedly brought them much needed abilities;

1, Durant, Houston Rockets

A century-old deal involving the seven teams allowed the Rockets to get Durant and old player Capela. In terms of influence, the Rockets' lineup has an additional future Hall of Fame member and two-time NBA championship winner. Durant may have passed his peak, but he is still one of the best scorers in the league.

Last season, Durant averaged 26.6 points, 6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, shooting 52.7% from the field and 43% from three-point shooting. His arrival can ensure that the Rockets will become a favorite to win the championship next season.

Durant is already 36 years old and has been suffering from injuries in recent years. For the Rockets, the window to win the championship is really limited.
