The NBA season is beginning to wind down, with most squads having played roughly 3/4 of their respective seasons. The final stretch is massively important when it comes to building momentum for the postseason and the offseason, so we take some time during this episode to highlight a few teams heading in the right...and wrong directions since the trade deadline. Host Aaron Washington is joined this time by one of the best NBA writers in the business, Law Murray from The Athletic NBA in the house to cover these six teams from top to bottom. What have their seasons looked like to this point, how are they doing relative to expectations, which players have surprised, and what could their offseasons look like in a few months.Be sure to visit our official site https://notradeclause.com/ for all your NBA league resources!
