Watch us discuss the winners and losers of the 2016 NBA trade deadline

Join the SB Nation team at 4 p.m. ET as they look back at the 2016 NBA trade deadline.

Close down your the trade machine tabs, the trade deadline has passed. From the big trades -- Tobias Harris to the Detroit Pistons -- to the small -- the Heat dipped under the luxury tax -- SB Nation’s Mike Prada and Ben Epstein of “Limited Upside” are dissecting the winners and losers from this year’s trade deadline.

It’s been a busy few days since the All-Star break. The Orlando Magic and Pistons kicked things off on Tuesday as the Pistons solidified a core for the future, and title contenders kept the action going right up until the Thursday’s deadline. Two title contenders, the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Cavaliers, beefed up their lineups and many stars stayed put despite being mentioned in multiple rumors -- yup, Dwight Howard is still in Houston. Here’s a list of all the trades -- and rumors -- that shaped the deadline.

Thursday wasn’t as hectic as last season’s chaotic trade deadline, but there’s once again a new landscape in the NBA. Now settle in for the season’s stretch run.
