Another intensely active NBA trade deadline has come and gone. This year’s action sees D’Angelo Russell join Karl-Anthony Towns in Minnesota, Andre Iguodala work is way out of Memphis to join the young Jimmy Butler-led Miami Heat, and Marcus Morris become a Clipper after a bidding war for his services between the L.A. powerhouses.
With almost no assets, Philadelphia 76ers GM Elton Brand made an absolutely masterful move in the middle of the night before the deadline. He traded a 2020 second-round pick via Dallas, a 2021 second-round pick via Denver, and a 2022 second-round pick via Toronto, to Golden State in exchange for the services of Glenn Robinson III and Alec Burks.
