NBA Trade Talk: Thursday Night Recapping the Deals
Another deadline has come and gone. This will go down as one of the most memorable deals in history with the mega deals that were pulled off before the deadline and then the flurry of trades that were made as the clock hit 3pm.
Two all stars who were the faces of their respective franchises now have new teams to guide. Playoff teams picked up serviceable veterans to help for the playoff push, a player returned to a team that originally drafted him, and a once thought un-tradable deal was moved.
This deadline changed the layout of the NBA and set the guidelines for seasons to come.
