Happy Trade Deadline Day! After 3 P.M. EST today, teams are no longer allowed to make trades, which usually results in a scramble to make moves as quickly as possible to get them in by the deadline. In the last 72 hours before the 2011 trade deadline, 50 players were traded — including then-Utah Jazz guard Deron Williams to the then-New Jersey Nets.
In honor of today’s basketball importance, let’s take a look back at history: here are the best five Nets trades of all time.
