Trade tally: who made hauls and who took falls on a busy deadline day.(NBA)

Last Thursday marked the most active day of deadline dealing in the NBA since 1987, with 29 players involved in trades and 15 teams making roster renovations. And yet one of the players who came out of the NBA swap meet in the sweetest shape was one who went nowhere, a player who has toiled in relative obscurity for most of his five-year career. Such is life in Milwaukee. But if you're Michael Redd, shooting guard for the 22-31 Bucks and a free agent-to-be, what happened last Thursday makes you one of the big winners of the day, even though you've gone nowhere.

That's because, in trading away Mike James, Keith Van Horn and Zendon Hamilton, the Bucks served notice that they have no intention of letting Redd walk this summer. They have created about $15 million in cap space to spend on Redd (and other free agents). Redd has assured the team that it will be given fair consideration for his services. Cleveland, which has pursued Redd in trade talks, should be poised to make an offer, too.

If Redd was a subtle winner, then Cleveland should be considered the subtle loser on deadline day. The Cars now will be in for a July fight for Redd, an Ohio native who could help them to a championship. But other winners and losers are not so subtle.

Winners

Allen Iverson, 76ers. Finally, the Sixers have acquired a true star-caliber complementary player to put with Iverson: forward Chris Webber. There are problems with Webber's knee, his mobility, his defense and what's left of his contract after this season (three years, $62 million), but for this year and next, the Webber-Iverson duo figures to help the Sixers challenge in the East. Webber's perimeter shooting and passing should perfectly balance Iverson's kamikaze drives.

Chris Mallin, Warriors general manager. Last summer, Mullin gave huge contract extensions to Jason Richardson and Troy Murphy, eating up all his cap room this summer. Mullin gave out baffling contracts to Adonal Foyle and Derek Fisher and hired a college coach. It sure looked like he was lost in the front office. In one trading deadline transaction, though, Mullin made the Warriors legit, acquiring point guard Baron Davis for the slim price of Dale Davis and Speedy Claxton. Then he picked up some young talent in Rodney White and Nikoloz Tskitishvili from Denver. The Warriors are a talented, athletic team without a leader. If Davis is healthy and interested, he'll be a perfect fit.

The Spurs. They dumped Malik Rose, a faux backup center with an oversized remaining contract, on the Knicks for Nazr Mohammed, a real center who has been ...
