MIAMI — Anthony Davis is still a member of the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Dallas-Sacramento deal will be significant for both sides

Davis remained in place Wednesday, though the run-up to the National Basketball Association’s annual trade deadline picked up steam in plenty of other locales around the league — including Dallas, where the Mavericks took Harrison Barnes out of their win over Charlotte in the third quarter because he’s about to get moved to Sacramento, according to two people familiar with the negotiations there.

“I got word of it during the game,” Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said.

Tobias Harris is going to Philadelphia from the Los Angeles Clippers as the centerpiece of a six-person, four-draft-pick swap was the first notable deal of Trade Deadline Eve.

Later, Chicago agreed to acquire Otto Porter Jr. from Washington for Jabari Parker and Bobby Portis. And as the day was drawing to a close, the Mavs and Kings agreed to swap Barnes for Zach Randolph and Justin Jackson.

The Bulls-Wizards and Mavs-Kings deals were both confirmed to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity by people directly involved in the negotiations, all speaking on condition of anonymity pending the mandatory NBA trade calls to make the deals official.

“Part of the business,” New Orleans coach Alvin Gentry said.

And business, on Wednesday, was busy — as expected.

The Dallas-Sacramento deal will be significant for both sides.

The Kings are trying to get into the Western Conference playoffs and now can add Barnes to their promising young core. Barnes has a $25.1 million player option for next season.

Meanwhile, Dallas — which got Kristaps Porzingis and Tim Hardaway Jr. from New York last week in a massive deal — will have tons of salary-cap space to spend in the coming months as it looks to add more pieces around Luka Doncic.

“Things are going to look different on the court,” said Carlisle, who wished Barnes well and told him after Dallas’ game that he believes the Sacramento deal is a good situation for him.

Harris, Boban Marjanovic and Mike Scott went to the 76ers, while Wilson Chandler, Mike Muscala and Landry Shamet went to the Clippers. Philadelphia — with an eye on moving way up from the No. 5 spot in the Eastern Conference — also gave up a protected 2020 first-round pick, a 2021 first-rounder that was once owned by Miami, and second-rounders in 2021 and 2023 through Detroit.
