Your forgetting about the biggest trade in nba history Jae crowder to the bucks for 5 second round picks

[@frankntilikina907]

😂

[@nrbmemes2414]

Who the fuck do the bucks think Jae Crowder is

[@cronggpal]

​@@nrbmemes2414 5 second round picks in one guy 😂

[@triple5tar]

Lol, that was such an insane trade. The Donte for the corpse of Ibaka is the worst recent Bucks trade, but that Crowder trade is such asset mismanagement.

[@saiken811]

Wait.. what!? That's in-fking-sane!

[@monkeyfather27]

Crazy thing is that the Harden trade is how caris lavert found a cancerous mass during the physical from the trade. So you can argue that the Harden trade saved his life

[@Sros1]

Shit I forgot about that, that is amazing

[@bryanhernandez4641]

It is crazy how well the Kyrie trade aged for the Mavericks. We thought that it was a great risk but he perfectly integrated into the culture of the team, and now they are a few wins away from going to the NBA finals! This trade may have saved the Luka Era in Dallas.

[@320ms4]

As a wolves fan I hated that gobert trade but I must admit I was completely wrong about it. However, i'm still not too happy about the trade I wish we didnt give up picks all the way up to 2029 other than that it was a good trade

[@TheFrostyMan21]

Yeah the picks was stupid. The players we could fill but getting those picks back will be hard. We just gotta hope we are a good team through most of the 2020s so it doesn’t matter lol

[@raindasher1464]

Understandable, but with how the team looks now and Ant being 22, there's a good chance you guys are good enough through then that the picks don't matter much

[@spidamitchell8311]

The picks aren’t great and prevents it from being a A grade but he’s made the trade grade improve and I’d say it’s about a B or B+. Which is better than a F!

[@tushign3169]

spurs trade was brilliant. helped them to tank and get Wemby

[@WHITEPERSUAS1ON]

I've been saying this for years. Daryl Morey does not get enough backlash for the John Wall and Russell Westbrook trade. I think he knew that he was going to leave the team So in knowing that he just said hey I'll make this terrible trade that kind of hurts the future of this team just to get Russ what he wants

[@Sros1]

Yea I think that trade was more on ownership

[@Identify_As_Right]

Gobert was the best player on the jazz every year that he was a starter. It wasnt even close until donovans last year there

[@centrist1008]

Dallas getting Gafford and Washington just fantastic.

[@hitandrun117]

If the Brooklyn James Harden trade isn’t an E or F, idk what is. Absolute disaster of a trade, not to mention they gave up Jarrett Allen and Lavert for pennies on the dollar

[@ryanamburgy2791]

0:54 BRO IMAGINE IF WE HAD JAQUEZ

[@mitchellfishman206]

As a Suns fan I’d 100% give the Suns trade an F. 100/100 I’d rather have mikal bridges over KD straight up

[@Goomba966]

As a Bucks fan KD is definitely the better player but Mikal Bridges played better

[@lucapecoraro29]

Makes an nba biggest trade video and doesn’t even talk about the raptors kawhi trade. The disrespect.

[@Now_To_Infinity]

great breakdown. ock and jazz winners

[@bedstuy4_l895]

Harden for Simmons trade was extremely hard to gauge, I’ll give you that, I’d have to give Philly somewhere in the B range, Harden had a few good playoff performances despite eventually taking them nowhere they had gone before and once again requesting a trade. But Brooklyn has to get a D-F

[@mitchsmix269]

I think B+ is super rich for Phoenix on the KD trade. Sure you got a superstar but they clearly werent in a position to win now with their roster and they invested their future as you mentioned to get it done. Feels closer to when Brooklyn traded away their future for Pierce and Garnett; even though thats a bit dramatic its the same idea and its looking like theyll get pennies on the dollar for KD if they get anything at all

[@spidamitchell8311]

Suns had more playoff success in the 2 seasons before him than with him even tho he’s been good. And it’s been championship or bust and it’s been bust (even if they win next season it’s just gonna feel overdue and not impressive) so yea I’d say it’s a D grade as the depth they had may be more crucial to them than Kd is.

[@sousgod5017]

⁠@@spidamitchell8311So if The suns won a championship It wouldn’t be impressive 😭😭.

[@mitchsmix269]

@@spidamitchell8311 agree with almost all of this, except the part for phx winning th ship next year. It would be extremely impressive with their 5 man rotation, but its not gonna happen. For all their starpower their roster still doesnt work and wont hold up against the likes of Denver, Minnesota, Dallas etc. And theyve backed themselves in a corner with blowing their load on stars, because they dont have anything left to fill the holes in their roster with

[@emilfrederiksen.1622]

They literally went to the finals lol with that roster and won 64 games in a regular season they were clearly a win now trade. What destroyed Phoenix was trading for Beal and his terrible contract. If they traded for Kd and decided to use that cap space on depth defense and a point guard they could have won the chip imo.

[@chriswebb5544]

They would still do this trade today, it got them lashing Leonard”….. uhhh you sure about that??

[@Gutirinthians1]

If the pick helped the rockets getting Sengun you can't give the same grade for both teams, I'm sorry

[@whitelightning2100]

Idk how Houston gets an A+ for the Harden trade when they’ve been bad since the trade, this being the first year they’ve been close to a winning record. I get it was a rebuild move so I could understand a B or B+ for potential’s sake but there’s no way that trade should be getting the same grade as OKC trading PG or the Lakers getting AD

[@emilfrederiksen.1622]

It was a good trade lol especially looking at the disaster that has been James Harden post 2020.

[@whitelightning2100]

@@emilfrederiksen.1622 it was definitely good but saying it was A+ is an overreaction

[@ctcards2636]

Great video ! Love it :-)

[@alexmammoth2916]

I'd agree more with the jazz Rudy one if they weren't floating around drafting a WK replacement (he was really bad this year after a great rookie season) or packaging George with other assets for Murray. As a Jazz fan, it seems like since moving on from Rudy Don and Mike the plan is Sustained Mediocrity. Case and point: they got you hyping a first round pick from the Don Trade (from this year to Toronto). It's pick 29

[@Identify_As_Right]

The jazz got that pick by trading olynyk who they got for bojan bogdonovich. Wasn't part of the don thing at all

[@alexmammoth2916]

@@Identify_As_Right Good point out: it appears I messed something up in editing as I have "from this year to Toronto" in there. Hard to mistake Cleveland for Toronto.

[@spidamitchell8311]

Part 2 pls

[@nomisfurste2932]

Brooklyn Harden Trade NOT AN F IS INSAAAAAANE

[@jaygima3857]

Bro skipped the wiggins dlo trade. Resulted in getting the warriors wiggins who was pivotal in the 2022 warriors run, and the warriors getting Jonathan Kuminga. Wolves got a worse version of dlo and bad roleplayers, which they ended up flipping dlo and jared Vanderbilt for mike conley. This needs to be graded, im shocked bro missed this.

[@goatmode7317]

Could somebody explain to arturas Karnisovas what the word trade means? We have made 1 trade in like 3 years

Kawhi & Danny Green for Poeltl & DeRozan?? 🤨

[@emilfrederiksen.1622]

Bad trade but Kawhi was a disaster in San Antonio in his last year. Had just had some bad injuries and had a year left on his contract considering the disaster that was a solid salvage job.

As a kings fan, I agree 😄 we both won but I can’t disagree that hali is younger with more potential. Do not mind having half less of a letter grade 😄

[@KratosAurionPlays]

Kevin Durant is a great player but I rated it an F for the Suns back in 2023 I still rate it an F today.

[@joeygula581]

I am a pacers fan i was so happy when they made it I gave up on the small market teams being able to win a long time ago until this year but my heart was broken yet again but it's okay if any team in the East deserves to win its Boston they've been on top for a while I just don't want Dallas to win I know he's a real popular player that Luca I don't like them he seems kind of like a crybaby btw I know your Knicks fans I honestly wouldn't worry about it they looked really great if it wasn't for the injuries who knows what would have happened if they were completely healthy I don't even think Boston could beat them

[@spidamitchell8311]

Murray is good he just shouldn’t have went to the hawks

[@waydpawlowski4743]

@Sros1 I looked deeper I think it's just not available in england

[@willhoward3178]

“If he leaves for nothing it's an F”… making a trade is to create an opportunity. Whatever decision is made by the player years later should not change the grade of the opportunity to team created. 😁

[@spidamitchell8311]

The lack of pieces around Kd was given to get him and he was supposed to upgrade the team and do what that depth couldn’t but he didn’t.

[@sting114]

Clippers would have the championship that year they traded away Lou Williams for that bum raja rondo. Clippers needed a 2nd scorer behind pg and sweet Lou would be perfect

[@reimixo]

Out of All of that, they have Ingram... Over 500 2x.... That's a C... Now you gonna trade Ingram to rebuild after the rebuild? Cmon now.....

[@shadowmamba95]

There is a D grade. The Clippers can go right there.

[@hm-nt5fg]

Not including the Kawhi deal is absolute blasphemy. Anyways, if you couldnt include it in the video give me your grade now @SROS

[@Sros1]

I didn’t do anything pre 2019, obviously A+ for Toronto and a B for SAS

[@bobopanget]

@@Sros1 what was the deterrent from including the raptors trade?? or "pre-2019 trades".. when it's literally just a year before the lakers trade for AD.. one of the only 2 trades that actually led to a championship.. so gross the way raptors is treated by the media..

[@TBCLINQ]

Every trade in mind : Clippers

[@anycoveryoulike7510]

Im not sure the paul george trade can be an F if him and kawhi leave without a title. It made the clippers relevant in the nba championship discussion for 4-5 years, which for a franchise like the LA clippers is better than being irrelevant in a large market like LA

[@TacoIsBae]

if the kd trade is actually an F or a bad grade im unsubbing

youre lucky, we made the Kd trade cause our core at the time was leading us into limbo, every gm makes the Kd trade

Just make the clippers grade an F already they’re not winning shit with Kawhi as long as he thinks playing basketball games is optional

[@RANDOMPLANET]

Imagine all those people who last year were calling the Gobert trade the 'worst of all time'. Kessler is the only + piece and her regressed in year 2, Vando only good role player. Rest have been cut or moved multiple times. Picks hurt a bit, but they are going to all be late picks, and the chances that any of those swaps convey is VERY slim because it would require Utah being better then Minnesota. Definitely a reach on the 'worst of all time' takes last year.. not to mention, keeping Gobert after his deal expires for most likely a fraction of the cost will be a win, as defense ages slower then offense and he will have many solid years ahead. I look forward to seeing what TC can continue to do adding talent to this team with later firsts and seconds. Leonard Miller was a great grab as well.

[@JaredTG.]

Grading trades long after they happen based on results definitely isnt how you should look at things but damn if it isnt fun.

kawhi and danny green for derozan and poetl????? the first superstar blockbuster trade that actually led to a championship??? good lord. even smaller channels show raptors no love.. arguably the biggest trade that was made cuz raptors got the best of kawhi's prime and hasn't been the same (health-wise) since going to the clips..
