The lead up to the NBA Trade Deadline was a roller coaster. After the deadline passed with the Jazz roster still intact, I needed a break for a the night to get my mind on other things. Not because I was mad, frustrated, or disappointed with the result, I just needed to have the benefit of some perspective to put into words what my reaction was to the whole thing.
The crazy thing about the trade deadline is it opens up potential options for a team—a choose your own adventure opportunity—if a team so chooses to deviate from its current strategy.
