The Warriors have gotten strong production from Andrew Wiggins post-trade deadline, but to little avail. This is an inexperienced roster desperately awaiting the return of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson next season. It’s that simple.
The Cavaliers traded for Andre Drummond in a surprise last-second swing at the deadline. The early results are mixed, and there’s no guarantee Drummond stays even beyond this season. Still, he does add another formidable force to a deep frontcourt.
At this point, Cleveland’s most intriguing prospect may be Kevin Porter Jr. That’s not to discredit the productivity of Darius Garland and Collin Sexton — both are solid NBA talents — but Porter’s blend of size, athleticism, and shot-making puts him a step ahead at the moment.
The Knicks are… still the Knicks. It has been a disappointing rookie season for R.J. Barrett, and the roster’s veterans are counting the days until free agency. There are flashes here and there, but New York still has a long way to go.
