TLM Podcast Ep 53: Trade deadline winners, lottery predictions, and “homecomings”

Who came out a winner in the trade deadline? Which teams are missing out on the playoffs? Which teams are finishing at the bottom? Wouldn’t you love to see Vince Carter on the Raptors again? And what is wrong with this Rockets fan?

We are almost a week removed from the trade deadline, but James and I are still sorting through the mess. While Daniel Coughlin provided a detailed analysis of all the trades, the two of us picked our winners from last week. With the recent trades in mind, we then predicted which teams from each conference would finish 9th and 10th–in other words, top of the lottery, but out of the playoffs. While the West was fairly straight forward to predict, it’ll be a miracle of either us of get our predictions right in the East.

In addition, there’s talk about who will end up as the bottom three teams in the NBA, and then in light of Kevin Garnett’s return to Minnesota, we discussed which NBA “homecomings” we would love to see happen.
