The NBA trade deadline was one of the most impactful in recent memory, which isn't surprising in the wide-open Western Conference.

Phoenix's acquisition of Kevin Durant re-establishes the Suns as a conference favorite despite trailing first-place Denver by 8.5 games and in fifth place.

Dallas took a step forward as well (for this season. at least) by acquiring Kyrie Irving for a not-harsh price. That gives the Mavericks two dynamic scorers for the first time since Luka Doncic was drafted.

Third-place Sacramento and the 13th-place LA Lakers are separated by 6.5 games, so it's all to play for over the next 25+ games in the West.
