The NBA trade deadline is over and it was a wild one this year, as players like Goran Dragic, Isaiah Thomas, Reggie Jackson, Enes Kanter, Michael Carter-Williams, Tyler Ennis, Kevin Garnett, Miles Plumlee and Pablo Prigioni all got traded and now teams like the Miami Heat, Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks feel that they have high grades for their moves.
Jackson was traded to the Detroit Pistons in a three team deal and now the Thunder have Enes Kanter, while the Jazz received Kendrick Perkins. Perkins will likely be bought out. The Miami Heat traded for Goran Dragic and moved Norris Cole, while the Bucks traded for Michael Carter-Williams, Tyler Ennis and Miles Plumlee.
The Suns made a number of moves, trading Thomas to the Boston Celtics, while Dragic was moved for first round picks. Jackson and Dragic both had said they wanted to be traded and they clearly have gotten their wish. The Knicks moves Prigioni to the Rockets for two second round picks.
For a quick round up of grades:
The Bucks get an A- for getting young and building
The Dragic deal gets a B+ because he is really good and it had Zoran in it
The Knicks get an F because they should have held onto Tyson Chandler
Pistons get a B after getting Reggie Jackson in a deal
Celtics get an A after scooping up Thomas
Thunder get a B+ on Enes Kanter move
