    2026 NBA Trade Deadline + more | S02 E02

    In this episode of Fanalysis 101, we zoom out from the highlight reels and step into the war rooms of NBA front offices. First, we rewind the clock and break down three era‑defining blockbusters of the 21st century — Pau Gasol to the Lakers, Kevin Garnett to the Celtics, and Anthony Davis to the Lakers — and look at how each deal reshaped championship windows, legacies, and the price of doing business for a franchise star. Then we fast‑forward to the 2026 NBA trade deadline, where the headlines were less about shockwaves and more about smart, surgical moves. We dig into the key deals that actually went down, how contenders fine‑tuned their rotations, which teams quietly set themselves up for the future, and why this deadline felt more “win in the margins” than “instant superteam.” Finally, we flip the script and talk about the moves that didn’t happen. From the persistent Giannis chatter to other big names who stayed put despite heavy rumor smoke, we explore what it means when franchises choose patience over panic — and how those non‑trades could define the next era of the league as much as any blockbuster. If you love understanding the NBA through cap sheets, timelines, and long‑term strategy, this is your kind of deep dive.
