The NBA Trade Deadline has ended for this season and It looks like one of the most active ones I've seen in a while. The entire league has been moving around players; I believe in hopes of not being the next Cleveland Cav's or Toronto Raptors.
Sorry for the delay, but let's speak about the obvious. Melo is FINALLY a Knick! It took nearly all season but he is finally in the place we knew he would end up regardless. He dropped 27 and 10 in his debut, which leaves the Knicks optimistic about the near future. Chauncey Billups will secretly he the key piece in that trade which will make or break that team.
The next big trade was Deron Williams going from Utah to the Nets. I've never seen the trade talks of such a big name star stay so far under the radar ! First Sloan is out, now Deron Williams has been shipped out. After letting Boozer and Brewer go during the offseason, it's clear the Jazz are under a serious "Rebuilding" phase. The Jazz "stealthy" trade moved looks to have shaken up quite a bit.
Today trade rumors came pouring in! Everyone is trying to make a move to keep up I guess.
OKC and Boston trade: Kendrick Perkins and Nate Robinson for Jeff Green and Nenad Kristic.
OKC and Charlotte Trade: Nazr Mohammed for DJ White and Mo Peterson.
Charlotte and Portland trade: Gerald Wallace for Joel Pryzbilla and a second round pick.
Memphis and Houston trade: Shane Battier for Hasheem Thabeet and a 1st round pick.
Houston and Phoenix trade: Aaron Brooks for Goran Dragic and a 1st round pick.
LA Clippers and Cleveland trade: Baron Davis and a 1st round pick for Mo Williams and Jamrio Moon.
Atl Hawks and Wash Wizards:
Mike Bibby for Kirk Heinrich
I feel like the Oklahoma and NY set themselves up the best as far as their future goes. Okc gets Perkins to come be their goon in the paint, and Nate Robinson who's a sure scorer off the bench. NY got Melo' and Billups, what more do I need to say?
The Biggest losers were Utah and Houston. These two teams depleted their rosters. The GM's must be looking ahead because as of right now, they couldn't even make the NIT tourney.
A lot of moves were made; some good some bad. Shout out to the teams who held their groups together though!
