The NBA trade deadline went whispering for the Knicks. Don't think of replacing another spare part (Jericosims) with another (Deron Light) to rival Lukadoncic's massive weekend move to the Lakers.
Clearly, even the direct families of those involved in the Knicks' only minor move would not dare to suggest that.
Either way, the Knicks are on the way to the third best record in the Eastern Conference, but now Mitchell Robinson's final return is the Celtics or other candidates for the defending champions Few people made moves more important than the deadline, whether it was enough to fight.
The Cavaliers couldn't stand the putt at East's Best Record (41-10) and upgraded at the boundary by adding DeAndre Hunter to their trade with the Hawks. The 6-foot-8 Hunter gives Cleveland an effective wing defender, pairing up with Boston's Jaylen Brown or Jason Tatum in a potential playoff series, shooting 39% from the 3-point land this season.
