This is what usually happens in the NBA, though. There isn’t much action on the actual trade deadline but there is always commotion. Trades usually happen before the deadline or after the season when the summer hits.
Besides for the possible trades, there were also rumors about some players getting a buyout so they can explore other options. Andrew Bogut was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers and is getting a buyout so he doesn’t have to remain with their sinking ship. He is rumored to possibly be going back to the Golden State Warriors or even the defending NBA Champion, Cleveland Cavaliers.
