And so the deadline passed

Personally, it has been difficult to focus on the NBA this season. Still, this trade deadline was somewhat exciting. Why? Simply because change means that the world is still turning. With COVID grinding most things to a complete halt, I am finding that we, as human beings, are clinging to every single signal of change as positive motivation. As a light at the end of a year long tunnel

Still, when a 3rd tier star moves from one bottom of the league team to another bottom of the league team and that is the most relevant trade of the deadline, I would consider it a dud. A "as you were" notification to fans of the game and of the 32 teams.
