At the NBA trade deadline on Thursday, a handful of teams made some moves to try and make the most of their season. The 76ers went “all-in” to win a championship by acquiring former league-MVP James Harden from the Brooklyn Nets, pairing him with Joel Embiid, and the Bucks bolstered their frontcourt with the addition of veteran Serge Ibaka.
A couple of days prior to the trade deadline, the Kings made a big move by acquiring Domantas Sabonis from the Pacers, the Cavaliers acquired Caris LeVert from the Pacers and the Pelicans formed a new “Big 3” with Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram and newly acquired CJ McCollum.
The NBA trade deadline is a time where teams look to better themselves heading into the playoffs… Well, this can be said about most teams at least.
Making a trade is oftentimes necessary for playoff contenders, especially for those teams looking to make it all the way to the NBA Finals, but this can not always be said about everyone. Sometimes, teams that need to make a deal wind up not doing anything at all.
