IMO
The biggest winner in the trade deadline
1. Lakers, 6 young top 10 draft talents
Trade old men for young men
D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley, Jarred Vanderbilt, Mo Bama, Davon Reed, Rui
2. Clippers
Acquiring Bones Hyland from the Denver Nuggets
for two second-round picks
John Wall and Reggie Jackson for Eric Gordon
Nets
Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson
Trade Jae Crowder to Bucks for 5 draft picks
3 swaps to Rockets before 2027 draft picks are all fake
Fake First Round Swaps
Nets have 8 unprotected first round picks available for trade. There is no way that Rockers will be better than Nets by 2027.
4 First round swaps
2021 fake
2023 fake (Nets will win more games than Rockets)
2025 (fake prone)
2027 (fake prone)
When you trade first round draft swaps, you do whatever it takes to protect the swaps
