15 NBA players who look weird in new uniforms after trade deadline, starring Luka Doncic, Marcus Smart, and more
Photo by Adam Pantozzi/NBAE via Getty Images Here are the NBA players who were dealt at the trade deadline in their new uniforms. The 2025 NBA trade deadline felt like a fever dream. What was widely expected to be a quiet deadline because of the new CBA turned into one of the wildest in recent memory, headlined by the incomprehensible trade between the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks that exchanged Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis. The mere idea of trading a player as good and as young as Doncic overshadowed mostly everything else during the trade deadline, but there were tons of deals around the league that sent big-name players to new homes. Just about all of those players have debuted for their new teams so far, with the exception of Brandon Ingram joining the Raptors. It sure looks strange to see some of these guys in their new uniforms. Khris Middleton as a Washington Wizard? Dennis Schroder on the Pistons? Terance Mann on the Hawks? All of this is overwhelming for casual NBA fans. Here are 14 veterans in their new uniforms after the 2025 NBA trade deadline.
