What about the Baron Davis to Golden State trade? Does anybody remember what the Hornets got?
Or Rasheed Wallace to Detroit (from Atlanta). Again, I don’t even know what Atlanta got.
But in both cases, I’m sure they didn’t get any quality players.

oh and butler would have never become anything in LA behind kobe at the same position. so the trade brought out butler and made him somebody in this league.

worst trade ever. jason kidd (who clearly does not fit in dallas) to the mavericks for just about their entire team, including a young devin harris – one of the quickest players in the league. desegana diop a defender similar to the likes of dikeke mutumbo, defensively oriented. trenton hassel, still a premeire perimeter defender and other role players with veteran experience for a young, but very talented, new jersey team. so who gets the worse end of the deal? why don’t you ask the mavericks, who won 1 game against a .500 or better team after the trade.

How about Sixers trading the Number One OVERALL pick for Roy Hinson to the Cavs who then draft Brad Daugherty who was an outstanding big man but back problems limited his career. Hinson did what?

What about the Dirk Nowitzki trade? Which by far was the most craziest trade I ever seen.

Dallas trade Robert Traylor to Milwaukee for Dirk Nowitzki.

LOL, I really lauged because the Bucks got nothing but a washed up has been power forward who was oversized, but the Mavs really benefited. Not in the beginning, but he found his place.

And I was reading a newspaper a while ago that there was going to be a trade between Dirk and Kevin Garnett.

Yeah, that Butler for Kwame trade was horrible. Trading a productive player for unproductive player is never a good idea. And that unproductive player was getting himself into trouble at the time, too. I would have traded Shaq, IMO. A young Kobe entering his prime over an aging center is probably a no-brainer considering Shaq wanted crazy money. He is in a $100 million deal that will last another 3 years or so. Would u have paid him that money, considering his age and injury history?

lastly —> utah traded the draft rights to dominique wilkins to atlanta for $1 million dollars. sure, that trade saved the franchise from moving out of utah (which isn’t that great), but could you imagine nique, stockton, malone, eaton, griffith and crew all in their primes together?

ridiculous.

another bad trade was goodrich to utah for a draft pick that became magic johnson. goodrich retired right after the trade, and never played for the jazz.

horny was an all-star in the west before the trade, and had something like 21-7-3 in philly for a bit before he was traded for jeff malone.
