The Losers:

The 76ers: Look, you can win or lose trades, but that's just one battle. The 76ers made some acquisitions for cheap, however they lost the war. Going into this trade season they were the most pressed to do anything. Add shooters has become a motto in Philly and it seems that isn't going to change soon. This team looks like 2k MyLeague rebuild, a bunch of players with high overalls that don't win championships.

The Lakers: Another loser by proxy. The Lakers needed to add a playmaking point guard to soak up minutes or be on the floor instead of Rondo. Well they did anything but that. Derrick Rose would have been an amazing fit but it seems they couldn't get anything done because of the limited assets they have. This teams relies on year 17 Bron running on full steam. I'll let you decide of that's a good thing or not.

Golden State: Nah, these dudes legit lost a trade. Why do you want Wiggins.? WHY? I'm going to stop there I might blow a fuse if I keep talking about this.

Cavs: Drummond. Why? What is your plan? If anyone reading this is a cavs fan please organize a sell the team chant at your next game.

Eh:

The Heat: Okay they aren't REALLY losers, but... why did they get Iggy. Look this teams rise to contender status is a surprise that should make all of Miami happy. But that's it. This team's biggest strength comes from the fact that their core hasn't even attained its potential yet. The timeline to win a championship for the Heat is so much longer than it is for a team like LA or Milwaukee. Obviously Miami didn't really understand that because they got rid of a young piece that I'm really high on: Winslow. All for a 35 year old Iggy who probably isn't worth it. All things said, a lot of my critiques of this decision is super nit picky and to be honest getting rid of the 10 million dollar burden of Dion Waiters is a huge win.

Rockets: One question will sum this up: Does small ball work? If yes, we will look back on this move as historical. If no, we will laugh at James Harden's playoff misery once again.

The Winners:

KAT: His BFF is coming to hang out with him. I think this will improve his mental health. Maybe this will motivate him to start playing defense!!!
TWolves: DLo aside, they got rid of that terrible Wiggins contract AND added depth to their bench with guys picked late in the first round who didn't get that much playing time in Denver. Now it's up to the wolves to execute. Will they? (Please don't screw this up like you do everything else)

Hawks: Two things- 1: At-least you can't be worse 2: At-least Trae isn't mad?
