Year after year as the trade deadline approaches, the rumors intensify and internet GMs ponder and debate potential, franchise changing moves. This year, the trade season has yielded some early fruit with some big moves happening well before this Thursday’s deadline. Early in January, the Cavs made a move, nabbing crucial floor spacer and rim rocker, Kyle Korver. Then, the Nuggets and Trailblazers exchanged big men and picks. Finally, just this last week, the Raptors traded for Serge Ibaka and the Pelicans acquired DeMarcus Cousins in one of the more unexpected blockbuster trades in recent memory.
