Which NBA trades were the best and worst of the 2015 NBA trade deadline?

The 2015 NBA trade deadline has passed and there was some action throughout the course of the day. Trade deadlines are always a very entertaining period of the season, and that was the case once again this afternoon.

At the end of the trade deadline, everyone’s heads were spinning with confusion on the trades that were made. There were quite a few big names that ended up being traded today, with Goran Dragic heading to the Heat, Reggie Jackson heading to the Pistons, Kevin Garnett returning to Minnesota, Brandon Knight heading to Phoenix, Michael Carter-Williams going to Milwaukee, and plenty of other deals.

Plenty of rumors were flying around all day long, and at the end of the day there were some trades made that helped playoff contenders. Arron Afflalo is going to be a nice pickup for the Trail Blazers, Ramon Sessions is a good fit for the Wizards, and the 76ers decided to go out and acquire JaVale McGee from the Nuggets.

It is gong to be very entertaining to see how these deals end up working out for the teams that made them throughout the rest of the season.

That being said, there are some deals that were better than others and it’s time to take a look at them. Judging trades is always the most fun part of the deadline, and that is what we’re about to do.
