The 2026 NBA trade deadline was full of fireworks, just not the ones we all thought were going to be set off.
Giannis Antetokounmpo and Ja Morant stayed in their respective homes while James Harden, Darius Garland, Jaren Jackson Jr., Anthony Davis and others found new ones. We saw players get traded multiple times as rosters were shuffled around, and only now can everyone catch their breath for a few months.
Now that the dust has begun to settle, it’s time to grade every NBA team’s performance at and leading up to the deadline.
