Ranking the players moved on trade deadline week
A slow start to the week of the 2020-21 NBA trade deadline was not a precursor of what was to come on the actual day of the deadline, as we saw an astronomical 16 trades take place over the final 15 hours before the market closed.
Just this week, a grand total of 46 players were dealt, which, not including two-ways or 10-days, means that around 10 percent of NBA players have been traded since Monday, an almost hard-to-fathom number.
As always, we were in store for some surprises on trade deadline day, like Nikola Vucevic being dealt to the Chicago Bulls and Aaron Gordon being traded to the Denver Nuggets, along with other moves which have been theorized for months, like Victor Oladipo to the Miami Heat, making for an overall very exciting 15 hours of action dating back to late Wednesday.
Just to get in on the fun, we decided to rank every player who was traded on the week of the 2020-21 NBA trade deadline. The cut-off date for that was last Monday, so players like PJ Tucker and Trevor Ariza, traded last week, don’t count for this exercise.
Without further ado, let’s jump right in.
