While the biggest star of them all — Giannis Antetokounmpo — wasn’t moved, we can take solace in the fact that Ochai Agbaji was. In all seriousness, while the final day before the deadline was a bit of a snoozefest, we did see a plethora of trades in the days leading up to it, further establishing that the trade deadline has, in many ways, replaced free agency. So, to wrap up, let’s take a look at
