FRENZY WIND UP MARS NBA TRADE DEADLINE

As expected, the NBA trade deadline brought out some surprising deals during the hours leading off to the cut-off time. This year’s edition is one of the most memorable in recent years. Not a few eyebrows were raised on some of the deals that were pulled-off. Teams believe they got the deal that they wanted to further boost their playoff chances this season or something to rebuild on for the future.
