The sullen faces that were so common after losses earlier this season have given way to chest-bumps and high fives as the Portland Trail Blazers ride a sustained — and somewhat surprising — winning streak.

The NBA just experienced one of the most active trade deadlines in league history. Luka Doncic, Jimmy Butler, Anthony Davis, De’Aaron Fox, Zach LaVine and a host of others were traded — in some cases, for each other. But the Portland Trail Blazers sat out the frenzy, which came to a halt at noon Thursday.

With L.A. eyeing Williams to fill the void left by Anthony Davis, Portland must decide whether to cash in on their veterans or continue their recent momentum.
