Merry Trade Deadline Eve!

Aside from hawking Twitter for breaking news, I heartily recommend following HoopsRumors.com for the context and detail that makes sense of every deal. Exhibit A:

The Rockets, Hawks, Nuggets, and Wolves broke the ice with a zany four-team trade that would normally be reserved for fans with too much time on their hands.

Steven Adams on trade season and Woj bombs:

The Skills Challenge, Three-Point Contest, and Dunk Contest participants have all been announced. No Thunder players. I would suggest Hamidou Diallo’s elbow has more to do with his absence than the league’s snubbery.
