1. Philadelphia 76ers

No team in the NBA has improved more at this seasons trade deadline than the Philadelphia 76ers. As a team who was previously worried about having a player that can score at the end of games, Philadelphia has more than solved that issue.

Their first move was to trade for All-Star Jimmy Butler. This trade helped Philly gain a great two-way player that can score in multiple ways.

However, the 76ers made two other moves that will take them to another level. First, they picked up Tobias Harris from the Los Angeles Clippers. Harris is having a career season and was a borderline All-Star.

Meanwhile, Philly traded Markelle Fultz to the Orlando Magic for Jonathon Simmons and two draft picks.

The addition of Harris will obviously add more offensive firepower to the team, while Simmons helps bring much-needed depth. The 76ers now have a team filled with All-Star talent and a great rotation. Philadelphia should be a huge threat to every team in the league.
