With the trade deadline in the NBA just recently passing, many teams and players were somewhat active, some for the worse and some for the better. Of course you can’t make everyone happy – certain players were probably happy with their departures while others were not as happy with their placements. For the most part this was a pretty active trading session as we usually see a lot of excitement right around the trade deadline. While certain teams such as the Mavs and Cavs have acquired superstar talent for their chance to win the title this year, other NBA teams (such as the Knicks) merely dumped their overpaid players in an effort to free up cap-room for the 2010-2011 season. Building upon the last effects all these trades will have on their respective teams, the fantasy sports fallout will also be significant. For complete analysis, please read our report below:
