## Resource

Mike Gallagher and Drew Dinkmeyer take another look at the NBA trades from the deadline as teams try to position themselves for cap flexibility and investing in developmental pieces for the future, while also touching on the issue of so many teams attempting to take ahead of a generationally strong draft class, and what options the NBA can take going forward to disincentivize tanking.
