Trade Deadlines Over?

Two key additions happened after the NBA Trade Deadline, that were suppose to happen before the deadline. However the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics acquired more talent by teams buying out the contracts of their players. The Cleveland Cavaliers picked up Joe Smith from Oklahoma City Thunder, and the Boston Celtics picked up Stephon Marbury from the New York Knicks. Both players were picked up to bolster the rosters of the two contenders.

I asked two basketball fans what they thought about the moves.  Jamal Gray a Boston Celtics fan believe, "it will help the Celtics repeat, and Marbury will be a key player for them. I also interviewed Steven Taylor a Cavaliers fan and he said, "As long as Lebron James has help, the Cleveland will have itself a championship, he has a pretty good team around him".
