The title is pretty self-explanatory on this one. In advance of the trade deadline on February 19 at 3:00 P.M, I decided to make one trade, worked out in detail, that every team should do. For each team, I listed the trade, then wrote three paragraphs: Finances, The Fit, and Why the other team does it. There were some three team trades, as well as a few repeating trades that multiple teams should do, and on those I sometimes referenced other teams' articles. You will likely see the Phoenix Suns, Brooklyn Nets, and Denver Nuggets come up in quite a few of these deals. Comment or email with any comments, questions, concerns, etc. Enjoy!
