      Right cuz when they drafted him at 51 they were really thinking they got a sharpshooter who will play 16+ years in the NBA n be an AllStar... by that logic only the entire NBA would let a sharpshooer fall to 51...

    February 7, 1979: Sixers trade Harvey Catchings and Ralph Simpson to the Nets for Eric Money and Al Skinner - on the surface, nothing out of the ordinary...except that, with a protest-granted replay of most the second half of a Sixers-Nets game from November taking place in March, three of the players involved (all but Skinner) ended up appearing in the game for both teams.

    You might want to consider Wilt to the 76ers for a couple of journeymen and an All-Star... who had already been retired for a year and a half, albeit with a lot of tread still left on his tires. In the event, Lee Shaffer declined to come back.Plus, I suspect, the league threw in a top first round draft choice to encourage the deal -- the Warriors and the Knicks (who also needed help) split the first four picks the next year.

    A weird trade that I remember was the Rudy Gay trade from the Raptors to the Kings. One of those trades that looked like the Raps were going to tank and lots of rumors of trading away Lowry and starting a rebuild. They turned the ship around and the Raptors are having their best run in franchise history. They are closer than they've ever been to a title. #inmasaiwetrust

    Here's another one to consider: Bob Cousy from Boston to Cincinnati in 1969.
    Cousy had been retired as a player since the 1962-63 season and was in his first season as the coach of the Royals. The team wasn't playing well, and Cousy decided that what they needed was for him to become a player-coach at 41. Unfortunately for the Cous, the Celtics still owned his rights as a player and demanded compensation and the Royals sent Bill Dinwiddie (who was hurt) to the Celtics. Dinwiddie did play the next season, averaging 4.9 points in 61 games. Cousy, on the other hand, played in 7 games and scored a total of 5 points before re-retiring for good.
    The Celtics also ended up getting Quinn Buckner from Milwaukee when Dave Cowens came out of retirement.

    CP3 trades to Lakers must happen to win a 3-PEAT but it didn't carry out. If they did trade Paul to Lakers they gotta win that. I did trade Paul to Lakers in NBA 2K19, i have ps4

    Wow. Trading away Kyle Korver for a copy machine seems pretty much hilarious but yes he did once insist that the copy machine didn't worked while he's still is. 🤣

    Thunder starting lineup could be:
    Adams
    Ibaka
    Durant
    Harden
    Westbrook

      No the pick they took Adams with came from the harder deal
