So you missed today's NBA trade deadline? Or, more likely, so much went down in such a brief period of time that you literally couldn't keep up with all the madness? Well, fear no more.

We've ranked all of the day's trades in order of importance, obviously starting with the Cleveland Cavaliers completely revamping their entire roster. Time to play some catch-up.

1. Cavs trade Isaiah Thomas to Lakers

2/8/18TEAM RECEIVES


G Isaiah Thomas
F Channing Frye
2018 first-round draft pick



G Jordan Clarkson
F Larry Nance, Jr.



Trade Grades

This gets the No. 1 spot for a number of reasons. First, you can't ignore the wow factor. This was the first blockbuster deal of the day, and it signaled that the Cavs meant business at the deadline. Second, it impacts two of the league's most important franchises, with the Cavs acquiring talented young players and the Lakers freeing up enough cap space to sign two max free agents this summer, while also getting back the Cavs' first-round pick. Third, it involves Isaiah Thomas, who was at the center of the majority of the Cavs' drama over the past month. What a deal.

2. Cavs get Hill, Hood in 3-way trade

2/8/18TEAM RECEIVES


G Rodney Hood
G George Hill



G Derrick Rose
F Jae Crowder



G Joe Johnson
G Iman Shumpert



Trade Grades

This was the next jaw-dropper, and it took this year's deadline from a good one to an all-timer. The Cavs went all-in by trading half their roster, picking up two more impact players in the process. This trade also gets a boost because Derrick Rose is involved -- he'll be waived by Utah and it will be interesting to see which team, if any, is willing to give him another chance.

3. Cavs send Wade back to Miami

2/8/18TEAM RECEIVES


G Dwyane Wade


Second-round draft pick


Trade Grades

Sensing a trend, here? Yeah, the Cavs made a lot of moves. This one was bittersweet, as the Cavs reportedly went to Wade and asked whether he'd rather stay with the team in a limited role or be traded to Miami. The result is a triumphant return to Wade County, where he'll be embraced by the Heat franchise where he spent his first 13 NBA seasons. This will make that potential Cavs-Heat playoff series all the more interesting.

4. Magic trade Payton to Suns

2/8/18TEAM RECEIVES


G Elfrid Payton


2018 second-round draft pick


Trade Grades

This one was notable because Payton is actually a decent NBA player who puts up triple-doubles every now and then ... and the Magic gave him away for a second-round pick. It's hard to believe that's all they got for him, but the Suns did well to pick up Payton, a former lottery-pick point guard to pair with Devin Booker as Phoenix ties to return to NBA relevance.

5. Knicks get Mudiay, McBuckets to Dallas

2/8/18TEAM RECEIVES


F Doug McDermott


G Devin Harris
2018 second-round draft pick



PG Emmanuel Mudiay
Future second-round draft pick



Trade Grades

Another lottery pick point guard is on the move, as the Knicks picked up Mudiay in a three-team deal that saw sharpshooter Doug McDermott sent to his fourth NBA team in five seasons. Denver wanted to move Mudiay, and they got a second-round pick in return, but the bigger story is whether the Knicks can salvage Mudiay's career -- he'll have plenty of opportunity with Kristaps Porzingis recovering from a torn ACL.

6. Pistons add depth with Ennis

2/8/18TEAM RECEIVES


F Brice Johnson
2022 second-round pick



F James Ennis


Trade Grades

Ennis probably doesn't move the needle for the casual basketball fan, but this was a good pickup for a team that's clearly trying to make a push toward the top of the Eastern Conference. A defender and 3-point shooter, Ennis will contribute right away for the Pistons.

7. Nelson reunites with Van Gundy in Detroit

2/8/18TEAM RECEIVES


G Jameer Nelson
2022 second-round draft pick



F Willie Reed
2022 second-round draft pick



Trade Grades

We're getting the band back together! Stan Van Gundy will be reunited with his point guard from the Orlando Magic, as Nelson was sent to the Pistons for Reed and a future pick. Nelson isn't a game-changer by any means, but he'll keep the Pistons afloat until Reggie Jackson comes back and provide veteran leadership to a team looking to become a playoff staple.

8. Nets take Cunningham off Pelicans' hands

2/8/18TEAM RECEIVES


G Rashad Vaughn


F Dante Cunningham


Cunningham wanted out of New Orleans, and he got his wish. He'll get the opportunity to play in Brooklyn, but this one doesn't really move the radar. To make room the Nets shipped out Rashad Vaughn, whom they had just picked up from Milwaukee in the Tyler Zeller trade.

9. Bulls grab Vonleh from Blazers

2/8/18TEAM RECEIVES


F Noah Vonleh


Draft rights to F/C Milovan Rakovic


Vonleh is a former No. 9 overall draft pick who wasn't getting much playing time in Portland. The Bulls will add him to their young roster, as they've already proven that they can take a disappointing lottery pick (Kris Dunn) and turn him into something promising.

10. Babbitt returns to Heat

2/8/18TEAM RECEIVES


F Luke Babbitt


F Okaro White


Trade Grades

Hey, D-Wade wasn't the only former Heat star to make his return on Thursday. OK maybe "star" is a bit extreme, but Babbitt will add 3-point shooting to a team that could use it.

11. The Mac Attack heads to the ATL

2/8/18TEAM RECEIVES


G Sheldon Mac


Future second-round draft pick


Trade Grades

Mr. Irrelevant! The Wizards saved some cash by shipping out Mac, who's currently sidelined after tearing his Achilles tendon before the season. Overall this move has basically no on-court impact for either team, so ... yeah. That'll wrap it up.
