New Episode of the HaberShow Podcast Out Today and Features NBA Experts Breaking Down Trades

STAMFORD, Conn. February 8, 2019 – Now that the NBA trade deadline has come and gone, NBC Sports National NBA Insider Tom Haberstroh doles out the various winners and a few big losers across the NBA. Haberstroh breaks down the flurry of trade activity over this week, why the East contenders shine and the tough outlook for the Lakers for the remainder of the season. Haberstroh’s latest column is out now, and a new column debuts each week exclusively on NBCSports.com/Haberstroh and on the MyTeams by NBC Sports app.

Highlights include:

  • “[The 76ers] needed to move on from the Markelle Fultz experiment … This might be the team to beat out East.”
  • “The Celtics took one step back and two steps forward at the trade deadline. The East royalty got better, but the larger outlook is far rosier than it looked a few days ago.”
  • “…You need superstars to win championships and [the Mavericks] have two players with a real chance to be All-NBA anchors.”
  • “We’re about two months away from the Sacramento Kings taking LeBron James’ spot in the playoffs.”
