Something could be done to make the deadline more interesting. One way could be to encourage teams to make trades. But the trade values ​​are a bit bad at the moment. Are there so few new players coming in that there is enough value in a draft pick? Or if the team that missed the playoffs is in the rebuilding phase, are they ready to trade a potential core player to the playoff train. Would a loan lasting the rest of the season be possible for this, for example, where the loaned player returns to the original team after the season, but the loaning team actually has to pay for him? The situation becomes whether it is a risk worth taking when chasing a championship.
