Trade Deadline Comes and Goes

The NBA's trade deadline was Thursday and the big trade was, well nothing.  The trade deadline passed leaving fans to only talk about the what ifs.  Josh Smith stayed with the Hawks, which didn't surprise many people.  He is a great player but is an upcoming free agent who many think isn't worth the big contract he wants.  Elsewhere in the NBA there were some trades but nothing to really talk about.  This posses the question: Did the uneventful trade deadline prepare us for an uneventful post season in the NBA?
