Wiggins goes from a lousy environment (he helped create) to about as good as he could get. I dunno how he does. Probably not that much different.

I dont see Warriors returning to main contenders. How much less? Probably a lot.

About half the teams made a move and half didn't. Fairly typical. And not enough, but whatever.

Clippers getting Morris was a good move.

Sixers? The new guys have better playoff data. The old guys better current year metrics. Alex for Trey might be about size and who knows maybe locker room. Glenn over Ennis might be locker room or possibly Brand acquaintance with his father. Will it prove out?

Miami did very well, especially on subtractions. But it was pretty unrealistic that Gallo would take a short deal and he didn't.

I like what the Nuggets did.

Rockets are probably happy. Cabocolo is neutral on RPM. Not sure if that holds up in playoffs but he may play little to none then always.

Disappointed Thunder did nothing but fans seem generally happy with team and another playoff appearance. Almost nothing has been truly laid as a future foundation though imo.

Magic stay borderline / without much note.

Hornets took no steps into the future.

Cavs taking Drummond was probably reasonable for the price but I don't know if it will help.

Hawks move probably help some but the perimeter D probably remains horrendous and the interior is probably not enough to get near average team defensive results.

Do Spurs miss playoffs? Probably still 50-50 but no improvement in chances.

Griz proceeding with build. I am not super high on immediate prospects but they are ahead of where they were 7 months ago.

Winslow imo has always been over-hyped by fans and members of media for his offense which RAPM / RPM estimate to be average to below average but it does appear he has defensive value. Griz value defense & youth & buzz and it showed in the trade terms.

Who should be put on trade radar for summer / next season that wasn't there this season?

Lowry was occasionally mentioned but wasnt expected to be traded. I dunno if he will be but the chance could go up, depending on playoffs, outside interest, asking price...

Barnes? Lou Williams? Ball?

Oladipo?

The Sixers should be busy. Simmons, Embiid, Harris and Horford combine for 120.2 million next year and 125.6 the year after for a current 5th seed. I can believe the Embiid rumors.

Could some assemble a trade package to get Poltl from Spurs? Maybe. I'd try.

Heat's patience was rewarded, but to what extent still to be determined. Moveable assets can be manipulated to meet some needs. But they get evaluated and priced in current terms and sometimes below purchase price. But sometimes better to have than not.

Lowry / VanVleet... lots of ways it could go.

I assume Pistons will try to unload Griffin but not sure how the market will respond. Probably have to show health / productivity before that gets assumed ; calibrated.

Big playoffs for Myles Turner. Whereas they probably were not far enough down the road to trading him, I think they probably are now. Either they shift back or move forward.

D Rose to NYK still seems potentially agreeable if Pistons are realistic about return.
