Good afternoon, basketball lovers. So good to be with you again as we head into All-Star weekend.
Last week, after witnessing basketball history in the form of LeBron James capturing the all-time scoring record, we saw fireworks in the form of one of the zaniest NBA trade deadlines we’ve ever witnessed. After watching Kyrie Irving get dealt to Dallas, we then saw his former teammate Kevin Durant land with the Suns. All possibilities we thought we might see last summer, but not necessarily right before the deadline, with the Nets still solidly in playoff position.
In any case, those things did happen. And now that the coast is clear, I thought it made sense to throw out six of the players, teams and scenarios I find most intriguing as we prepare for the homestretch.
