The 3 Worst NBA Trades Of 2017

[@nengobruh4191]

Miles Plumlee for 2 burritos Greatest trade in bucks history.

[@jrsmith4372]

lol i'm weak :D

[@blakemiller8223]

Marshall plumlee

[@ExArm]

Jim Gilmore idc what u say spencer hawes was decent with the bucks lmao

[@Sudszu]

Isaac Wesley better than plumlee

[@jennifernice7423]

Jim Gilmore that was a great trade for Milwaukee as we saved a lot of cap space in that trade and we got Hawes who did decent for us along with trading Hibbert to Denver for a 2nd round Pick I say that's a win for Milwaukee.

[@AFunkyDiabetic]

im gonna upload the next mygm during cavs warriors cuz idk my twitter - twitter.com/FunkyDiabetic1

[@goharderthanyesterday3935]

AFunkyDiabetic Halftime would be awesome

[@CedriCAT72]

AFunkyDiabetic there are in fact 3 Plumlees in the NBA, not just miles and mason

[@elanstecklov9863]

If the nuggets never traded jurkic they would've kept their first rounder and probably would've made the playoffs bcuz jurkic made the blazers much better

[@johnjenks250]

AFunkyDiabetic so are the mavs just gonna match any offer for nerlens...

[@BlackSmoke-kd1by]

a pretty bad trade was the bulls with okc one im a bulls fan and i feel like we got a bit robbed it wasnt a horrible trade but i feel like okc benefited the most

[@Arthur-cq2wl]

TheBluePanther if you guys didn't trade for McDermott, imagine the team you guys would have with Harris and Nurkic

[@BlackSmoke-kd1by]

SsProductions ik man but my problem with the trade is that doug could shoot efficiently from 3 and we needed that floor spacing and we got no one who can shoot from that trade

[@Arthur-cq2wl]

TheBluePanther I'm a fan of McDermott but idk maybe Cameron Payne becomes good some how idk

[@BlackSmoke-kd1by]

SsProductions i think he can become a solid 6th man at the max

[@BallKnower]

We got robbed, I have absolutely no faith in Cameron Payne he's constantly injured and he isn't even that good when he's healthy. The trade was so unnecessary.

[@jameswabrek9909]

Anyone notice how at 6:25 plumlee inbounds it with his foot not fully out of bounds

[@gertipellumbi4859]

Justin Anderson was a 7 point scorer in 12 minutes for Dallas and will be great when he gets a bigger role

[@ExArm]

theres three plumlees, marshall is on the knicks

[@Arthur-cq2wl]

"Trades 1"

[@xabbitz6148]

I'm glad you did not put the Cousins trade in this video people blow that trade out of proportion. The kings were going no where with Cousins and they needed a fresh start which is exactly what they got with that trade.

[@lazyyoshi3600]

Night Zerez yes! me being a kings fan (fml) that is great insight!

[@kenrik2105]

If my math is correct: Cousins = Hield + Jackson + Giles

[@petehassett617]

Am I the only one that thinks these playoffs have been so boring???? God I can't wait for the draft to provide some entertainment.

[@trevorbenos9540]

Pete Hassett u and everyone else rn m8

you are not

[@elbimio4u]

Pete Hassett Well Celtics vs Wizards was pretty lit tho.

[@GothamCityBrute]

[@lsyyc999]

Now do 3 best nba trades of 2017

[@dylanlight4782]

Worst was ersan for Tiago splitter and some second round picks.

[@tdonahue3531]

Billy Mays yep I agree it was bad

[@pp3k3jamail]

Billy Mays they trade ersan to give more minutes to Dario saric

[@nicholaskreider9728]

Ersan is nice but he was a free agent at the end of the year, he had some value at the deadline, he didnt factor into the sixers plan. it just didnt matter. Splitter was a cash dump

[@Game6Swish]

Warriors win for my birthday Bulls trade was one of the worst. They basically gave Taj and McDermott away for nothing. After this trade I questioned myself "Why am I even a Bulls fan?"

[@mduar1000]

21 BankrollRichh MJs hype is still within you

[@Game6Swish]

K Woosh 😂😂 maybe

[@AFunkyDiabetic]

all im gonna guess is taj wasnt coming back and doug being restricted after next year scared them

[@Game6Swish]

AFunkyDiabetic Yeah that would make the trade make more sense, but saying Cameron Payne can be the PG of the future is ridiculous

[@Game6Swish]

Death Shot That DeMarcus trade was painful

[@makaveli9789]

Funky is easily one of the most underrated KZbinrs

[@bravesfan31]

This video was made less than a month before the trade deadline. So many good and bad trades happened like Paul George to OKC Thunder and Victor Oladipo to Indiana Pacers.

[@SamA-eu7su]

WHERE IS MY VIDEO FUNKY US HAWKS MUST BE SHOWN

[@SamA-eu7su]

how are the hawks boring they have me

[@johnappleseed8146]

[@christianbrown8177]

funky can you do a video about 10 future all-stars

[@NameName-vm8mh]

I second this, but like "all young players with the best chance of becoming superstars"

[@n1ghtm4yor16]

Plumlee actually has been very good with Jokic when they do play together. Their second best offensive lineup had them paired up together as well as with murray, barton, and chandler. Rare token Denver Nuggets fan signing out. P.S. Love the channel, keep up the good work.

[@michaelbourke3362]

The nuggets wanted Plumlee so they could run the same style of offence (passing through their bigman) when jokic subbed out. When nurkic was coming off the bench for jokic, the rhythm was ruined because nurkic was just a traditional low post big guy. I know everyone's complaining that they gave up a first round pick, but they're already loaded with young talent and are struggling to find minutes as it is for jamal murray, juancho hernangomez and Malik Beasley.

[@FoonoLIVE]

There should be a fourth one: Nba2k17 PS3 edition For Your money

[@noxebop]

Honestly what if Nerlens Noel ends up the James Harden trade of our Era?

[@noxebop]

Blzer Let me rephrase that, the most recent version of the Harden trade. I have no concept of time.

[@noxebop]

Nas PB Oh yeah definitely, I'm not even a Philly fan and I felt angry at them trading Noel when Okafor was doing Nothing for them.

[@Dinklage209]

Nerlens is likely to get paid 20+ million and for someone who would be a backup to Embiid, that's just stupid. Plus, Justin Anderson is better than Jeremy Lamb and the other scrubs OKC got.

[@xavier76thman]

I love Justin Andersons edge he's blue collar and doesen't back down from anyone!

[@Dinklage209]

Xavier Gonzalez A guy who doesn't take shit from Melo and saves us 20 mil is pretty alright in my book

[@666Sinn]

aaaaand now Charlotte flipped Plumlee for Dwight Howard XD

[@yvngpebis8577]

I hate being a hornets fan

[@brokeboisey2207]

lol

[@dopetrash7695]

J Yayo same

[@agetee4289]

roote for stephen C. he is from carolina and has lots of bandwagoners so you wouldn't be recognized

[@mrsouthll]

J Yayo just got Howard for him, what a steal if he can turn around the defense

[@chriss.9398]

I don't think the 76's entertained the idea because they were tanking. I understand the trade for a guard seeing as that is a Center/Forward heavy team. You made a good point in saying they probably could have done better than Justin Anderson but honestly you are trading two athletic guys. Justin Anderson needs to really work on his shooting but I feel like the athleticism and the drive is potentially there. Also the Mavericks I feel like did well with that trade because they were lacking a starting athletic Center and defensive anchor. Hopefully, Noel turns into something solid for them as that team needs all the help it can get.

[@xavier76thman]

Chris S. As a Sixers fan I love Andersons work ethic he reminds of a big Marcus Smart who the Sixers wanted in the past anyway

[@harshaanand5688]

I hope Nurkic stays healthy next season then we can make the playoffs as the 6th or 7th seed.

[@jvadoptante]

Can you do a video on how the Knicks will get the Banana Boat crew together?

[@jonledster9125]

jvadoptante hell nah bron never going there

[@scj2003able]

Mason Plumlee is pretty solid although Nurkic has a better potential as a starter in this league.

[@JruJewJitsu]

The point for the Mason Plumelee trade was to allow Nuggets to run their offense even when Jokic is on the bench. Nuggets run a unique offense with Jokic near the free throw line and 4 players on the perimeter cutting and screening. Mason is a good athletic passer with a similar skillet to Jokic. It was a really good trade Mason Plumelee was REALLY valuable on the market at the time.

[@Mark-ro8tl]

They traded nurkic cuz there was a jokic-nurkic balkan feud

[@Habeev07]

Simple as nations. Nurkic is a top-10 center already in the league now. in like his 9th gm as with POR, Jusuf Nurkic had 28pts, 20reb, 8asts, 6blks hasn't been done in over 30 years and it was Sir Charles. GO BLAZERS!

[@MattP-zt2uk]

To anybody who says the Boogie trade, the trade worked out well for both teams. The Pelicans obviously got a top 15 player. But Buddy Hield was a very efficient scorer for the Kings and the Kings got a top 10 draft pick.

[@kamdenearls4949]

I'm a Dallas fan👏 and the first two thing I thought when I saw the trade. 1. Oh my god it's a steal. 2. Funky is gonna praise us in a video (which you did)

[@1survivor566]

The Sixers had to trade Noel. He's a free agent this summer and they weren't going to pay him because their frontcourt is loaded. Embiid, Saric, Holmes, Okafor, Simmons. It was a trade to gain assets instead of letting a player walk.

[@joshhoward1898]

I really feel like all the people saying that the Boogie trade was bad are just regurgitating what they heard from first take and such without really understanding the context of the trade. The trade worked out for both parties. Kings have cap space, a lights out shooting guard, and much better chemistry while the Pels got the best center in basketball.

[@ChewyGummy17]

I do think that the Noel's trade is pretty good for the both sides. The Sixers doesnt want Nerlens because it DOES creates a jam on power forward position with okafor, simmons, saric and covington. And I think Nerlens doesnt like getting his minutes get cut and Dallas is the perfect place for him cuz they need a Tyson Chandler like player.

[@BlueHundred1]

The Nuggets and Blazers pick wouldn't be that bad if it wasn't a first round pick included. To me, the Nuggets traded an upset starting caliber center and a first round pick for a bench center. I get that Nurkic was angry and they wanted to get rid of him and that dropped his value but it still seemed like an overpay. The Sixers trade was also weird. Great for the Mavs but I agree that the Sixers could have gotten a better trade had they not waited. Also, I don't see the rush in getting rid of Noel so quickly

[@ryanash2142]

The 76ers traded Ersan Ilyasova, and swapped second round picks with the Hawks for Tiago Splitter, a player who hasn't played an NBA game for a year and 4 months and is getting payed 8 million a year.

[@therewillbekyle6165]

What about the Bulls trading Taj Gibson and Doug McDermott? Also the Magic trading Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis for 1/2 season of Ibaka?

[@daltonkimbro8405]

I like how all the Mason Plumlee 2k highlights are him taking the ball out 😂😂😂

[@elsenor8208]

Right after getting scored on

[@micaht.barber7191]

As a Hornets fan, nothing has made me want our GM Rich Cho fired more than the Plumlee trade

[@grappler7343]

blazers GM demanded first round pick along with nurk. denver probably didnt have anything good way to unload nurkic. sometimes trades are not even but still necessary

[@Habeev07]

Simple as nations. The Serbian/Bosnian feud. But Nurk still didn't like playing as little as he did. Now, Nurkic is a top-10 center already in the league. Hes still just 22 y/o. In like his 9th gm as with POR, Jusuf Nurkic had 28pts, 20reb, 8asts, 6blks, that hasn't been done in over 30 years and it was Sir Charles. GO BLAZERS!

[@37thousand]

Damn u were right about my guy justin Anderson he didn’t develop the 3. Never really had a fair opportunity tho either. Dropped like 50 in the g league tho

[@peterlidstone7801]

Alright, call me crazy but I think Rich Cho might be playing us all for fools. If I were to write up an offseason whiteboard for the hornets. I'd prioritize getting a back up point guard (preferably an offensive threat that could play alongside walker down the stretch), then a versatile bigman to pair with kaminsky in the 2nd unit, and finally a true small forward (preferably a 3andD kind of guy). Thats alot to ask for considering the lack of cap available and unlikelyhood of a high draft pick. So I reckon Cho got Plumlee to the hornets, less so to play and more so to trade. As you said Plumlee had one break out season with the Suns. With Alex Len a restricted free agent (Likely to get anywhere from roughly 9-14m a year) and Alan Williams unrestricted; the Suns only really have one true center in Tyson Chandler (34 and counting). The Suns do however have a plethora of guards. Bledsoe, Ulis and Knight. Bledsoe is straight balling, Ulis is extremely good value and knight had probably his worst season to date. Whether its the fact he was coming off the bench to back up Ulis or the effect of an injury. Did not live up to expectations or his salary. 13.6m next year. So Suns get rid of an expensive contract pg that hasn't fit well within their system recently and Hornets get rid of an expensive contract bigman that hasn't proven himself yet (2nd round pick probably needed to even out). Personally I think that Knight could thrive in Charlotte, internal competition with Walker and providing a much needed intensity off the bench. 'With the 11th pick Charlotte select Zach Collins'. He's a tall white guy with college success; of course charlotte are going to draft him - Jokes. But he does fit the need of high upside versatile bigman whom is likely to fall to them. Reckon he has the capability to play alongside Zeller and help stretch the floor or alongside Kaminsky and live in the post. And finally in free agency. It may be a big year for free agent point guards but it also happens to be quite deep for small forwards. With the mid level exception hornets are now entitled to; I think Thabo Sefolosha is a very attainable prospect. Although he is more D than 3; he would fit rather seamlessly into Cliffords rotation/ethos. So with limited resources Cho has efficiently managed to attain all his teams most desperate needs. Crafty bugger.

[@joshnyamburi]

Damn you were spot on with Jokic

[@brendanokane4344]

The reason why the Sixers traded Noel away was because he's gonna get the max when he isn't worth that. Sixers weren't going to resign him and got Justin Anderson from it. No reason to just let Noel walk for nothing in free agency, if you're able to get players and picks for him.

[@reznortetrault4348]

I think you're downplaying the impact Nurkic brought to the Blazers. He instantly became a double double guy and averaging 15pts a game as the third option. Also it was the defense that was bad prior to that trade not the offense for the Blazers

[@petermuchiri6631]

Noel made it clear he wanted out of sixers n he's gonna b a restricted free agent this summer

[@brunoterrell4764]

I'm sorry for my question but what does the +- stat means?

[@1survivor566]

+- measures how well a team plays with a player on the court against an opponent over a period of time. Usually a game or a season. So for an example If Dion Waiters is +23 in a game for the Heat that means that while he was on the court in that game the Heat outscored the other team by 23 points. If Dion Waiters was -14 in a game for the Heat that means that the other team outscored the Heat by 14 points while he was on the court.

[@brunoterrell4764]

1 Survivor Uau thanks bro 4 the expanation or like i say in portuguese Obrigado👌👌

[@Dinklage209]

Funky, there is no way having Noel and embiid share the paint was going to work. Embiid can shoot but you don't want him hanging out there as a primary option. His real skills come out of his post game. Also, Noel can't defend the 4 or be switched into a guard in the pick and roll. The personnel and money just made no sense to keep Nerlens on the roster

[@graycovert2646]

Mason Plumlee is really good on the nuggets now and he has been playing with jokic

[@BrockMak]

5:08 And Hibbert ended up with the Nuggets for a future draft pick to the Hornets.

[@cr-sg8jq]

the nuggets didn't have a roster spot for that second pick and already have enough youth and are ready to start competing and getting instant impact players

[@Teaminflament]

Colangelo didn't like Noel and that is why he was traded and they never put Embiid and Noel together because Colangelo was afraid they would work well together

[@taylorjudge4506]

That snake is killing the process

[@youssefelamrani]

This has been the worst trade deal in the history of trade deals, maybe ever.

[@QWQKET]

Than you funky you are the only youtubuer that respects Nikola Jokic

Notification squad 💪😤 "Trades 1"

[@TM_Ultra97]

Funky and Dom2K are the best NBA KZbinrs imo

[@LxrdInfamous]

cody can't rebound or gaurd an good post scoring or alaround center

[@maxwhitney4136]

Looking back at the Nuggets trade, it isn't that bad. Nurkic didn't fit into the system, and isn't a very good passer. Plumber on the other hand is, and fits into the Denver Nuggets organization a lot better.

[@pedroblake5576]

Sixers never entertained idea because they weren't going to give Noel 200 million to be a one way player.....why would a team tie up max money in a one way player who is injury prone...they got back low risk high reward athletic wing that can guard other wings and possibly grow with young core

[@filipdimitrovvv]

you messed up on this one funky. nurkic is the reason the blazers made the playoffs and you say he wasnt that good for them?

[@cjman444]

This should be revisited😂

[@astrolamarr1427]

We got a fake in da building!!!!

[@SkinsFan902]

Mason Plumlee is not a bad defender, can protect the rim, and has solid athleticism: he fits great alongside Jokic.... not a great trade but I understand the logic behind it. Jokic/Nurkic is a terrible fit.

[@Jabjab1226]

The Noel trade was good for the sixers. Sure maybe they should have made the move sooner but they didn't. The were not gonna pay Noel plans and simple. Better to get something for him than nothing

[@TheSpartanPlayz]

Trades 1

[@chrisweber6090]

i think noels cobtract was going to be up anyway they couldent get to much for him its a ok trade definatly better then him just walking

[@bangobuck8722]

A horrible trade for one team is an amazing trade for the other

[@elibascle2310]

I like how the cousins trade isn't in here

[@CedriCAT72]

I dont get why as soon as embiid became amazing philly just forgot about their other 2 centers, everyone laughs at Jahlil but he had a solid rookie season and didnt even get any minutes after embiid got injured

[@adamtatarkhanov5010]

23isthegoat he seriously regressed this season, didn't play defense, and made basically everything on the sixers worse

[@rfritz901]

the Nurkic trade was only bad because they couldn't​ get a good defensive big man

[@Estevan_Casiano]

Philly fans was like. you should've gotten Okafor!!! instead of Noel!!!

[@evandiduk2837]

Do you watch the actual NBA or just play 2k17

[@RaVexTacozz]

All you had to say for the 3rd trade was the 76ers TRADED THE WRONG CENTER

[@mitchellellicott1787]

Noel is the type of defensive player that can turn a bad defensive team into a good one.if he just came off the bench you have guaranteed that your second unit will play good d. the 76ers were 12 and 11 when Noel played more than 12 mins. he brings defense, energy and a target are the rim on offense, which is exactly what you want from your back up centre. I think it's also safe to say he would of become much more valuable on offense when the 6ers got some half decent creators and passers like Simmons actually paying with him. the only solace I can take from that trade is that at least Richard Holmes seems half decent and could be a good back up C. they need to trade the fuck outta okafor though.

[@xavier76thman]

Mitchell Ellicott Richaun is already a better offensive player than Nerlens he can hit 3's and do everything inside that Noel can do I think he's better

[@kardiognosta]

Holmes should have a much larger role; I think at this point it's obvious that Phila's real weak link in their front court is Okafor, he'll almost certainly never be transcendent enough of a passer to justify his post-oriented style of play, which at this point is obsolescent. And that fails to mention his extreme deficiencies as a defender in this PNR age.

[@mitchellellicott1787]

Xavier Gonzalez I agree about Holmes being the better offensive player and he brings a lot of hustle so I'm not devastated Noel has been traded but I think on a good team Noel has the chance to be a perennial DPOTY type player.

[@TheChosenMoose01]

The thunder and bulls trade was worst than the blazers and nuggets.

[@mattst15]

Plot twist: this was really zeller and he was mad about the trade and talking about himself in the 3rd person

[@gullintanni]

Collangelo should have been fired for that trade. We got nothing in return for him. Now were stuck with Shit Anderson and way more 2nd rounders than we can ever sign. God fucking dammit that trade made me angry as Noel could have played some minutes with Embiid and backed him up for 15+ minutes as well. I'd rather gamble on that and him leaving for a max deal than have this trade. Give away Okafor instead if you're that desperate. Okafor will never have the impact that Noel will have in this league, he might become defensive player of the year for Dallas.

[@amklein6206]

As a Mavericks fan, 2 second round picks and Anderson for Noel=Best trade of the season. #MFFL #Slanginthiswood

[@teamlannister3676]

Noel was gonna walk. We weren't about to pay him the amount of money he was going to command for a one trick pony. We ain't about to tear all this shit down just as we're starting back up by paying big money for 18 mins.

[@MrHimynameisbob12]

When you startin a podcast

[@ogbmt]

Cavs should have traded for Nurkic. He has another year of rookie salary next season. If the Nuggets traded Nurkic and a first round for Plumlee then surely they would have traded Nurkic for Dunleavy or Frye, and a second round pick! Or what about trading JR Smith to the Nuggets for Nurkic and a first round pick! Shed salary and keep your Dunleavy and 2nd rounder to get Korver. Then you have Korver and Shumpert anyway so it's almost like you don't even need JR. And you have Nurkic to go down low with Love and TT vs the Warriors. On another note, Hawks have low key given away their whole team with the Teague trade last summer and the Korver trade this year. Watch Millsap leave for the Jazz or some shit and all Atlanta have left is Dwight and Dennis. (Bonus prediction- Splitter signs with Warriors this summer and takes Zaza place)
