Here’s Your NBA Trade Deadline Buyout Cheat Sheet
The NBA trading deadline is slightly more than 24 hours away. And while the feeling is that there will be some deals, many teams made their biggest moves some time ago. The deadline has become about far more than acquiring players. It is just as much about stockpiling assets such as draft picks and expiring contracts or unloading players with long-term deals.

Tweet of the Night: Bill Simmons doesn’t think Goran Dragic will end up in L.A, N.Y., Miami or Boston
Some major news broke on Tuesday when it was reported that Goran Dragic wants to be traded from the Phoenix Suns, and the team has agreed to meet his wish.
