Now that John Wall was not traded, I don’t think it’s a slam dunk he’s getting bought out. Wall wants to play, but without significant savings on a buyout, the Rockets won’t want to lose the ability to trade an expiring salary. It’s dead cap next year if he’s bought out. – 8:00 PM

Good trade deadline for the Suns. Could’ve been incredible with an Eric Gordon trade, but still tightened up the playoff rotation a bit. Fairly surprised the Rockets kept Gordon through the deadline if we’re done here for the day – 3:04 PM

Now that we’ve hit 3pm I think the Raptors trade was just fine. Raps canvassed the league for what their assets could buy and this is what they could buy. In my eyes that’s better than not doing the trade and buying Dragic out. – 3:02 PM

From a Raptors perspective, what has happened today is so minor that all the screaming makes zero sense to me. They traded a bit of draft capital for a bit of short-term production while maintaining the same amount of flexibility.
Sure, opportunity cost, but everyone chill. – 2:24 PM

Nothing on Eric Gordon. Nothing on Jerami Grant. Nothing on Harrison Barnes. Nothing from the Lakers. The Heat haven’t used the first-round pick they unlocked yesterday. The Thunder are still $20 million below the salary floor.
Still plenty left that could happen today. – 2:05 PM
