The NBA Trade Deadline 2022 is getting closer and closer, and we obviously hope it will be lively. Animated how? Like in 2015, where it was really madness in the world of the Great League. Back on a trade deadline that will have marked the recent history of the NBA.
February 19, 2015 will remain a milestone. And for those who were not yet following the NBA at the time, we are here to redo the evening for you. In the last hours before the deadline, the GMs are panicking in all directions to set up long-winded trades. The Woj – insider star of the NBA – then enters the dance to put Twitter in PLS. Adrian Wojnarowski (because that’s his real name) really has hot fingers, he who drops a plethora of tweets in the space of just two minutes after the 9 p.m. deadline. Between 9:03 p.m. and 9:05 p.m. French time, he cracked his knuckles to write as quickly as Jim Carrey in Almighty bruce. Proof of the intensity of the evening, even the insider from Yahoo at the time allowed himself to tweet his mood when he rarely expressed himself on Twitter apart from breaking news. At the end of his incredible series of tweets, he releases a “Good Lord” which says it all.

At the same time, when we see the multitude of trades that characterized this evening, we understand that the Woj needed to decompress with these two words. This deadline notably saw Kevin Garnett return to the Wolves, Boston recover a certain Isaiah Thomas, Denver steal the precious Will Barton from the Blazers while moving JaVale McGee to the Sixers. Detroit will also recover the leader Reggie Jackson stung in the Thunder, who will manage to scratch Enes Kanter in Jazz to pair up with Steven Adams. As for the Heat, he will bring in the two Dragic brothers, the Bucks will try Michael Carter-Williams, while losing Brandon Knight who will try his luck in Arizona … In short, it was a mess without a name and again, there are only the major trades. There were also small complementary players moved all over the United States, with draft picks galore. That night, the NBA ignited and made the trade deadline a must-see event in a season. It also brought Woj into another dimension, that of the insiders’ GOAT. And this season again, we should have a lot of movement, especially watching the situation in Indiana or Portland, and keeping an eye on who will recover the PJ Tucker-like allowing to win a title … Lots of questions for this year, but what is certain is that Adrian Wojnarowski, Shams Charania, Marc Stein & Cie are already in the starting blocks for a crazy evening on February 10th.
The 2015 trade deadline will have marked the history of the NBA on Twitter forever. An exhausted Woj, lots of trades… The perfect evening for any basketball fan. Looking back on 2015, we all hope to experience the same madness of February 10.
