Breaking down the NBA’s fallout from a busy NBA trade season, and what impact it will have in the stretch run

The NBA trade deadline has come and gone for another year. After shaping up to be quieter than usual, the trade season finished with a flurry, as a number of teams tried to retool and rebuild on the fly – headlined to the craziness that ensued around the Cleveland Cavaliers.

At the same time, some teams were surprisingly inactive at the deadline. Toeing the line between “blow it up” and “stay the course,” these franchises might come to regret not making a move when they had the chance.

With only a few games played since then, the end results of these deals and non-deals are a guessing game, leaving us with more questions than answers.

So what are the biggest questions to emerge from the trades made, and how will they shape the rest of the season and beyond?
