Grading Every Deal at the 2026 NBA Trade Deadline It is time for an annual tradition unlike any other: handing out grades for every single trade the NBA delivers between now and the 3 p.m. EST buzzer on Thursday.

i have been and will continue to grade every trade from this week over at b/r, just in case you're in the market for ragebait:

bleacherreport.com/articles/253...

Soooo how well do you remember these NBA trades? 😬

I would argue "very well"

🔮👁️
