It's officially NBA trade season and there have already been some tectonic shifts. Giannis is finally on the move after the most arduous trade saga in recent memory. LaMelo is, shockingly, a Timberwolf. And everybody - even some teams who aren't that good! - is tying themselves in knots to make sure the Knicks don't repeat as champions.
