Now, it turns out that, in almost every occasion, what I actually loved was the theoretical idea of the trade deadline, because the actual reality of it usually tends to be a bit underwhelming, doesn’t it?
Before it actually happens, we’re inundated with incendiary rumors, we’re intrigued by all the incredible possibilities — which are limited only by our imaginations and the glorious “This trade is successful!” confirmation of the trade machine.
Alas, it turns out that deadline day itself is often something of a dud by comparison. Which isn’t to say there aren’t some significant moves.
