Did any trade today change any teams plan of competing? Still feel like it’s Brooklyn’s title to lose.

Plans for competing? Yes, definitely
Any trades change any actual teams who may win the title? Probably not
The Nuggets got a solid addition in Aaron Gordon. If the Lakers can be taken out, I do think they helped their chances to come out of the West.

I thought Portland did great getting Powell. The Bulls had an awesome deadline. Nuggets did great with Gordon. Lakers and Nets still the faves but Denver and Portland are still contenders who got better.

And Denver got JaVale McGhee for some added rim protection. Gordon and McGhee give Denver a lot of what they really need.
Finally, the Nuggets made a deal. RJ hampton is gonna be good for the Magic.

Here's the situation: Pels have a sloppy possession, shot clock winding down, lose the ball near half court, 2 dudes dive on in and jump ball is called with 0.3 left on the shot clock for the Pels. Brandon Ingram doesn't even bother to jump for the jump ball at half court because there's no point, a shot clock violation would ensue if the Pels won the tip any way.
So the Celtics win the jump ball, and Marcus Smart gives us this play of the year candidate:
