Not like the Grizzlies has accomplished anything with that trade so far, they gave Pau to L.A and pretty much handed them a ring.

So what if they havent accomplished anything? The Timberwolves have accomplished much less for giving away KG to the Celtics, basically handing them a ring. That logic is so ridiculous. Did the Lakers basically hand Miami a ring also when we gave them Shaq?

 

The Grizzlies got great value in that deal and there's no denying that.

Um im surprised nobody's mentioned this yet, but the Nets trading Dr. J to the 76ers for $3 million was pretty damn bad

Yeah, that's a great one.

 

Pippen from Seattle to Chicago...already mentioned, though.

 

Vince Carter was dealt to the Magic for Courtney Lee and Rafer Alston. If the Magic end up winning a title, you could say that was a massive trade for them. Lee hasn't done much of anything for New Jersey, and we already know about Rafer.

 

Phoenix traded Rajon Rondo and Brian Grant to the Celtics for Cleveland's first rounder in 2007. With the way Rondo is playing, that was a huge mistake.

 

And yes, the Kobe/Divac trade was crazy.

Typo. :o

 

Lee (and T-Will) really picked it up around February or March, which was about the same time at which the Nets started showing better signs. His shooting was on fire from behind the arc for a couple weeks and he had a couple 25+ point games in the same period of time.

 

Courtney Lee also seemed to be a big help for Terrence in terms of T-Will having someone on his own team as a good example of how to turn around a rough season. I like the idea of Lee as a sixth man if we draft Wall and keep Harris, so he can really continue to be a big part of the team.

 

What both sides received may have not necessarily matched, but we know what Jersey's main purpose was in making the move, and I think it's still helping us.

It's hard to throw trades from the last couple of years into the mix since they all shared a similar purpose. But outside of those, Billups to Denver didn't go so well for Detroit. It may have not been the worst, but it seemed to be apart of Detroit's major downfall.

 

You should have taken a screenshot and put it up on your wall. Congrats. :o ;)

I'm one step ahead of you, Smelly Neal.
