NBA Trade Deadline Overview
As the NBA approaches the trade deadline on February 5th at 3 p.m. ET, the atmosphere has been surprisingly calm compared to previous seasons. In stark contrast to last year, where five notable trades occurred during the months leading up to the deadline, the current season saw only one trade made from October through January. This relative quiet has left many fans and analysts focused on the situation in Milwaukee, particularly regarding the future of star player Giannis Antetokounmpo with the Bucks. However, recent days have suggested a surge in activity as teams reassess their rosters in anticipation of the upcoming deadline.
