NBA Trade Deadline Review
I'm not going to go into detail on every trade that took place at the deadline, because there weren't any of the blockbusters that have been discussed all year. One thing we learned is that a man can change his mind as much as a woman does about the position of the couch when your arms are tired from moving it. He stayed in Orlando, which I think was the best move for him. Going to New Jersey he would have been in a bigger market but on a team that probably will never go further than the conference semis at best. San Antonio got Stephen Jackson back, remember him from their '03 title run? Good move, but there will be no 2012 title run for San Antonio. The Clippers got Nick Young, but they still are the 2nd best team in LA based on the fact that they lost to Phoenix at home this week with Steve Nash and Grant Hill on the bench. Biggest winners in my mind at the deadline are the Lakers. They addressed their point guard situation and improved their size off the bench. They now have to be considered a threat in the West again. The Eastern Conference teams didn't do much at the deadline, except for the Nets getting Gerald Wallace during the Portland fire sale. In the spirit of March Madness, your NBA Final Four will be Los Angeles (Lakers) vs. OKC and Miami vs. Chicago. I'm out like Mizzou in the tourney (sorry Robby).
