Being traded can never be an easy thing to go through as a professional athlete. Andre Drummond went through that yesterday as he was dealt to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a trade that saw very few valuable assets go back to the Pistons. Immediately after the trade, Drummond took to Twitter where he claimed the league has no loyalty and how he had no indication he would be moved.

Ed Stefanski, the senior advisor for the Pistons, recently spoke about the Drummond trade and even touched on the big man's recent comments. As Stefanski explains, he understands Drummond's frustration and says the Cavaliers only became a ble option late in the trade deadline process.

Karl-Anthony Towns has consistently been one of the best players on the Minnesota Timberwolves over the past few years. Unfortunately for him and his team, they have been in a huge rut. The squad is currently on a 13-game losing streak and they appear to be freefalling to the bottom of the league standings. In order to correct this trend, the Timberwolves made a plethora of trades, including one that sent Andrew Wiggins to Golden State in exchange for D’Angelo Russell.

Earlier this morning, Towns took to Instagram where he penned a heartfelt message to some of the guys he won’t be playing with anymore. He even posted some pictures of himself and these players which added to the sincerity behind his words.

“Want to take the time to thank my brothas that not only made me a better player but better person,” Towns said. “To Wiggs and G, you held me down ever since I stepped through the doors of minny and can’t thank you enough for being there with me when I needed y’all the most. I got love and respect for you. All love to everyone and praying for success.”

As of right now, the Timberwolves are stuck at a record of 15-35 and will be looking to get back in the win column Saturday night when they take on the Los Angeles Clippers.

Kyle Kuzma has been a key piece to the Los Angeles Lakers puzzle over the last couple of years although he is constantly subjected to trade rumors. Whenever the Lakers try to create a trade package, teams demand they get Kuzma or nothing will get done. The Lakers have been stubborn when it comes to keeping Kuzma and during the trade deadline yesterday, the team opted out of a trade with the New York Knicks for Marcus Morris. Of course, this is because the Knicks wanted Kuzma but the Lakers didn’t want to give him up.

According to Ryan Ward of Clutch Points, Kuzma gave an interesting answer when asked about not being traded and whether or not he feels like there is more pressure for him to succeed.

“Nope,” Kuzma replied. “Just play my role. Come in, play with energy. Crash the boards every time. When I get the ball, just make the best of it. There’s no pressure. The media people they may try to make those extra pressures on you, but I trust my teammates, and I trust what we got going on here. I’m just trying to play my role.”

Kuzma and the Lakers currently sit at a record of 38-12 and are first place in the entire Western Conference. If Kuzma becomes more consistent and the Lakers maintain their play, they will certainly be favorites to win the championship.

During the late stages of Wednesday night, NBA veteran Andre Iguodala was traded from the Memphis Grizzlies to the Miami Heat. The trade involved a total of six players including Jae Crowder, Solomon Hill, James Johnson, Justise Winslow, and Dion Waiters. Heat fans are excited to see Iguodala in action and are confident his experience will make the Heat a much better team. 

Miami has been one of the surprise teams in the league this year and with this latest move, some feel like they can make a championship run. Earlier today, LeBron James was asked about the trade and what he thinks it will do for the Heat. As someone who has respect for Iguodala, James thinks the deal is great for both sides.

Today was supposed to be a big day for the Los Angeles Lakers. Heading into the trade deadline, it was apparent that the team needed a few extra pieces in order to become a sure-fire contender for the NBA Championship. So far, the deadline has come and gone and the Lakers haven't made a single trade. Earlier today, it was reported that the Lakers were in contention for Marcus Morris of the New York Knicks but he ended up going to the Los Angeles Clippers. Of course, the Clippers are the Lakers' biggest rival right now.

According to Shams Charania, Morris could have been a Laker if the team had given up young star Kyle Kuzma. The Lakers have been adamant about holding on to Kuzma and, once again, the Lakers passed up an offer because of their strong feelings towards him.

The NBA Trade Deadline is taking place at this very moment and one of the most sought-after trade assets, Andre Iguodala of the Memphis Grizzlies, has been dealt to the Miami Heat. The package deal also included Justise Winslow, James Johnson, Dion Waiters, Jae Crowder and Solomon Hill, who will all gear up for different squads effective immediately. This move was long-awaited, with Andre Iguodala anticipating a trade since the onset of the 2019-2020 season. This week, he was in the news after Memphis youngsters Dillon Brooks and Ja Morant commented on his status with the team and now, he is finally being given the chance to continue his celebrated career. One man couldn't be any happier about the Heat's acquisition and that's Florida boy Rick Ross.

Late last night, it was revealed that the Miami Heat and the Memphis Grizzlies would be making a trade that included Ander Iguodala. Iguodala has been trying to get out of Memphis for a while now and he finally got his wish. While the deal was reported, the details weren't fully fleshed out yet. Today is the trade deadline and the Heat and Grizzlies have been working hard to get everything set in stone.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Grizzlies are receiving Dion Waiters, Justise Winslow, and James Johnson in exchange for Jae Crowder, Solomon Hill, and Iguodala. As Woj explains, the Oklahoma City Thunder are trying to get Danilo Gallinari to Miami although trade talks have stalled out.

Andre Iguodala was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies during the offseason and he hasn't stepped foot on the court since. It was apparent from the very beginning that Iggy had no interest in playing for the organization and that he would be looking to be traded elsewhere. Yesterday, his wish finally came true as he was sent to the Miami Heat in exchange for Justise Winslow and some draft picks. 

Following the trade, fans began debating who won the deal, with many saying the Grizzlies came out on top. Last night, Iguodala was asked by ESPN's Marc J Spears about the deal and as you would expect, he's pretty excited about it. 

Andre Iguodala was beginning to get on the nerves of Memphis Grizzlies players. Earlier in the week, Ja Morant and Dillon Brooks made public comments about how Iguodala refused to play for the Grizzlies and how they thought it was sort of disrespectful. The Grizzlies were waiting to trade Iggy and last night, they finally did it. Iguodala was dealt to the Miami Heat in exchange for Justise Winslow and some draft picks that haven't been entirely ironed out yet. After being traded, Iggy signed a 2-year extension with the Heat, worth $30 million.

Now, Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that the trade could be expanded with the Oklahoma City Thunder wanting to join in on the action. In fact, the Heat are trying to get Danilo Gallinari who has been a part of trade talks over the last few weeks.

Of all the names being thrown around throughout the NBA trade deadline cycle, D'Angelo Russell is one of the players we have heard the most about. Ever since joining the Golden State Warriors, it was believed he would be a rental to replace Klay Thompson for a little while. Over the past couple of weeks, it has become apparent that various teams are trying to get him, including the Minnesota Timberwolves. Now, yet another team is throwing their hat into the ring, this time, the New York Knicks.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Knicks have been pursuing Russell and have even proposed some trade packages. So far, the Warriors have denied all of them as the Knicks aren't close to matching their demands.
