A historic NBA Trade Deadline has passed, and Andrew Schlecht and Fred Katz are here to break down what happened and hand out Trade Awards. The awards consist of: - Pau Gasol Award - the trade that makes a team a true contender - PJ Washington Award - goes to the trade that most people didn’t like, but we think could really pay off in the Playoffs - Gordon Hayward Award - a trade that most everyone praises but it will reveal a player is washed - Poeltl Award - to the team that gave up a first round pick for a player and everyone will question it all of next season- Mike Conley Award - a trade for a veteran that will end up helping turn a team around- Simone Fontecchio award - the trade that NBA sickos obsess over, but won’t move the needle at all- Bogdanovic and Burks award - to the most overrated trade of the deadline Host: Andrew Schlecht With: Fred KatzExecutive Producer: Andrew SchlechtAudio/Video Editor: Jake Kleinberg Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to the Saturday Slammin' Jam here on the Athletic NBA Daily. On today's show, my good buddy Fred Katz joins to hand out some trade awards in just what was an insane week of trades here with the NBA. Fred, how was your last 24 to 72 hours? Sleepless?
Exhausting. Still trying to get over that Charlotte, Oklahoma City trade where they just traded a 2029 second rounder for a 2030 second rounder.
So that like a pick might convey. I mean, come on.
Unquestionably, my favorite trade of the trade deadline. It was... It was reminiscent of the KZ Akpala pick protection removal. That's right.
That's right.
Years ago that all of us remember so well.
It's one of those trades that you know that there are maybe one or two people in your life that you can talk to that trade about. And the vast majority of people just have no interest whatsoever.
But here's the thing. Two things. Number one, there are one or two people in your life where you can talk about it. But the one or two people in your life you can talk about it with, you can talk about it for like seven hours. And what's amazing is none of the people that you can talk about it with are people listening to this podcast. And that's how we decided to start the show.
So that's exactly right.
