I think by this point teams know if they are buying or selling.
Usually teams in the playoff mix don't want to sell too many good assets anyways, if they are just sneaking into playoffs.
The only suggestion I would have would be to make the deadline on a Sunday night, rather than (in this year's case) a Wednesday night.
I completely forgot about trading until yesterday, and even with that, I wasn't able to be online some parts of the evening because I was being an adult (this occasionally happens) and making/eating dinner with people.
Although maybe we can chalk it up as a weird year as others have said.
There is a clear top, middle and bottom tier this year, and I think the middle tier didn't really want to give up assets to try to compete, and would rather sit on those assets and give them another year to develop.
It seems like a lot of people are in Philly 76'ers mode, and "Trusting the Process" of their own teams while their young guys develop.
