NBA Trade Deadline Not As Exciting As We Had Hoped

The NBA trade deadline has come and gone, but unfortunately nothing too crazy happened. There were plenty of trades made, but none involved Paul George, Jimmy Butler, Avery Bradley and Jahlil Okafor. Let’s talk about the trades that did happen…

The biggest trade of the day was probably the Nerlens Noel to the Mavericks trade that happened around noon on Thursday. Noel was essentially traded to the Mavericks for Justin Anderson and two second round picks.

Doug McDermott and Taj Gibson were both shipped to Oklahoma City essentially for Cameron Payne, Anthony Morrow and Joffrey Lauvergne. This one is an interesting one for the Bulls who are currently the seven seed in the Eastern Conference.

Other trades worth noting are P.J. Tucker to the Raptors, Mike Scott to the Suns, Roy Hibbert to the Nuggets and K.D. McDaniels to the Nets.
