PTBN's NBA-Team: The Vultures Are Circling
Tuesday Feb 10, 2026
Tuesday Feb 10, 2026
As we pass the NBA trade deadline and see at least three certified Hall of Famers get moved, why did a lot of NBA fans feel like an eventful week of trades feel so unfulfilled and pessimistic about teams in tank mode and playoff teams ready to pick off the pieces, but unwilling to give too much away? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are back together after Adam held the fort earlier this week to give out grades for each team, talk about the reality of the second apron blues for playoffs teams, and why play-in purgatory seems like the one place teams do NOT want to be down the stretch. The Chicago Bulls finally made big roster changes, but why did all they pick up were guards? Why do Adam and Andrew disagree about what the Utah Jazz (by acquiring Jaren Jackson Jr.) are trying to do? Did the Atlanta Hawks get worse in the short term but have a bright future in the long term? If you're Steph Curry, is it time to ask out of Golden State? Andrew and Adam also talk about playoff teams standing pat, expiring contracts on the move, the dreaded 'player to be named later,' and more! So suit up and take it out in 378 with the NBA-Team!
