This trade deadline saw few big moves, but Indiana and Dallas made bold trades that paid off in playoff success. The Knicks are back and beloved, and Luka Dončić still has room to mature. Inside the NBA unites fans, the Suns struggle with new ownership, and the Cavs need to reevaluate their roster. Buzzer-beaters remain a fan favorite, and Anthony Edwards shows promise. Every team needs a player like TJ McConnell, and no lead is safe in today's NBA. LeBron James may have missed his last best chance, and balance between East and West conferences is needed. The next generation of players is ready to shine, and the era of Big Threes in the NBA is over. Patience is key to success in the playoffs.
