The 2026 NBA trade deadline has been nothing short of a fever dream. With the buzzer having just sounded, we’ve witnessed a landscape-shifting week highlighted by James Harden heading to Cleveland, Anthony Davis landing in D.C., and the Jazz pulling off a shocker for Jaren Jackson Jr. While the Giannis-to-anywhere saga will officially have to wait for the summer, the pure chaos of the last 48 hours proved that no roster is ever truly safe. Whether your team just hit the reset button or loaded up for a deep playoff run, the league looks completely different than it did on Monday.

The Giannis era in Milwaukee is officially on life support. 📉🦌

Ant is obviously the future, but Steph’s legacy still has the league in a headlock. 🤷‍♂️ Individually, Ant is playing like a starter, but you can’t out-vote the Chef when he’s still cooking. Ant’s time is coming sooner than people think, but for now, the fans are sticking with the OG.

Respectfully, we’re good. 🫡🔥
