Christmas comes to the NBA every year on the Thursday after the All-star break. We are not talking trees, cookies, songs, presents, or anything that happens in December. We are talking February and the NBA trade deadline. This is the time of year that no one really likes. It’s always dark, wet, and depressing in Portland. Although February is a time for all hardcore NBA fans to sit by their warm computers constantly checking their Twitter and blog feeds for the most up to date information on which teams the players may end at for the rest of the season. In other words: Christmas.
This years trade deadline has not been a disappointment so far, in fact I would be as bold as to say that this years trade deadline has been the most exciting. It has definitely been more exciting than the 2010 offseason when everyone took his talents to South Beach. The perpetuating amount of trade rumors have spread across ESPN, Yahoo, Twitter, and as many blogs as you can imagine. This can be an overload to some people but for NBA fans it is a giant feast of information. With some many high level players being moved this year, it is in my mind that this time of year should the NBA’s Christmas. It almost makes February bearable enough to live through.
