NBA Trade Awards | Slam N Jam
Andrew Schlecht is joined by Fred Katz to break down the NBA Trade Deadline and hand out trade awards including:
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
