Victor Oladipo was later traded for Paul George and Tobias Harris was later traded for Blake Griffin, yet the Magic didn't get value anywhere near that for trading either of them.

[@kahnerruffin8114]

Its the magic bro. They love to draft top 5 picks then trade them for role players

[@jalen4945]

Yup I’m a magic fan. Our decision making is terrible. I think I would make better decisions if they put me up there!

[@giantl9196]

it's amazing how many ramifications that 2016 WCF had on the rest of the league

[@Hobbes250]

Weird for a video to just end now a days on KZbin. Threw me off a little lol

*Biggest mistake of the decade is easily the OKC Thunder not willing to pay James Harden in 2012* 🗣🗣

[@jamesharden255]

Abdu Ugas That’s why they’re a poverty franchise.

[@trentonmullins4948]

James Harden poverty franchise 😂😂 first time i’ve heard that

[@abduugas]

Ethan Petro And that’s why they’re now going into a rebuild. The team produced 3 MVPs and couldn’t even win 1 ring.

[@nicktinson2950]

5 MILLION DOLLARS!!!!

[@Qyshawn]

I disagree. It's not like PKC went heavily downhill. They had some really good seasons w/o Harden and really choked in the Tourneys. I wouldnt call it a mistake more of what would have put them over the hump IF AND ONLY IF they were able to share the ball among the three without loss in productivity

[@jamescraig8546]

Steven Adams contract is never a bad contract. Easily worth it it just doesn’t show up in the basic stats

[@TheKiller-fz5mc]

And also the potential he had.

[@trevorrasche19]

This year i think he could be a top rebounder.

[@shermanleeyh]

The bad stats are because of Westbrook

[@KlaugKnaughrt]

Zach Lee he’s actually doing worse lol

[@mangobananana]

still overpaid for sure

[@adammoore119]

Billy King’s trade was so bad, they literally made a rule to prevent teams from doing something similar in the future.

[@tongzhi793]

@@andrewortiz6430 and I'm not a fan of DSJ at the point either. The team has no willing passers except Payton, whose an offensive liability and Randle i guess

[@justinebautista1383]

JoeBro915 Ntilikina is a very willing passer though.

[@Cardiaccat98]

The oladipo and Harris trade is the most stupid transaction that the magic ever did, even worse than not being able to resign Shaq

[@numa2k147]

Not signing Shaq cost them championships. I don't think it's worse

[@jaime5604]

Nah they were already contenders really to take over the east for years but messed up not signing Shaq

[@Cardiaccat98]

SuperSaiyan 3Hunna y’all do make a great point about that, but I made that statement even in spite of that point. Not signing shaq was terrible. Most of the time I even thought it was the worst thing ever for the magic. But the reason why I now think the oladipo and Harris situation was more boneheaded was because they didn’t need to resign them. They weren’t on expiring contracts unlike shaq. Yes it was obvious shaq deserved the highest salary in the nba and the magic played stupid with that. However, oladipo and Harris were still in contracts; they didn’t need to resign them at the time. Instead, they gave them up for Ibaka like he’s some perennial all star and for Terrence Ross, like they were trying to tank but contend for the playoffs at the same time, and when they did tank they got Mo Bamba when they already have a big man in Vucevic. Maybe I’m being a little biased about this, because it stopped me from becoming a magic fan lol

[@numa2k147]

@@Cardiaccat98 nah I also agree with your point. Hindsight is 20/20 and we'll never know if they would have won with Shaq but they need to secure their future with Harris and Oladipo and didn't.

[@mattchew8mealey921]

I think you missed the most important part of the Harden and OKC story and that is that they not only prioritized Ibaka over Harden but much worse prioritized Kendrick Perkins over Harden as well.

[@RickyPro888]

Josh Smith earning more than Buddy Hield 😂

[@larrybass370]

Danny Ainge is so overrated as a GM. He still getting by on a finesse move from the Nets

[@21mazter70]

Larry Bass Atleast he is an above average gm

[@leia6456]

There was also the trade down for Tatum. Also they did an impressive rapid rebuild after the nets trade and made a contender lead by a last pick in the draft. While the Kyrie thing didn’t work out it was still a good idea and the cavs still absolutely lost that trade. He also put together the Celtics big 3 in the first place. And of course the Nets trade

[@larrybass370]

@@21mazter70 I disagree, he had three players that all play the same position (Tatum, Brown, and Haywood). He signed Enes Kantor at center completely changing the defensive make-up of the team and other than Marcus Smart, the impact players he drafted came via the Brooklyn Nets trade.

[@21mazter70]

@@larrybass370 Larry Bass Tbf they didnt expect tatum to be a great player already when they drafted him. Like they expected tatum to be the sub for hayward but when tatum proved he was already a starter that fucked up the whole thing. But i do agree on the latest moves not being great. The Enes kanter signing was imo a reaction to al horford wanting to leave but my point was that he was atleast better than a lot of gm from other teams that are struggling to get going. Like im not denying your statement that he is overrated but i was just pointing out that atleast he managed to keep boston in playoff picture for a while and his stupid decisions are not as bad as other teams and he made decent moves as gm.

[@atomsk1972]

We'll see whether that was a good move or not. My gut feeling is 'not', but I'm happy to be wrong.

[@RasenRendanX]

KD might not be the same player as before and Kyrie cant lead a team. This looks good on papar but might end being the same way as when they got Pierce, KG and Terry. Ofc i can be wrong as well but they took a gamble just like my Raps did for Kawhi and it paid off.

[@ThePeachTube]

Honestly I think Josh Smith at the time should’ve gone to LA, because they were willing to pay for anybody and they would’ve let him play SF.

[@markmccormick4354]

biggest misktake of the decade - Spurs handling of Kawhi Leonard. Turned title contenders into below .500 team

I think it should be included or at least be an honorable mention when we are talking about the biggest mistakes of the 2010's.. It is Tom Thibodeau not subbing out D. Rose in the final minute of the 1st round in the playoffs even they already wrapped up that game. That decision just hurts a lot and dismantle the future of the Chicago Bulls at least until now. ☹️

Steven Adams has been playing pretty great. I don’t think he’s a 120 million dollar player, but he should have gotten like 4/5 for 80/100 million seems about right. But he also hasn’t starting playing that well until the last two seasons.

[@ivaneurope]

Dishonourable mentions: The Knicks trading away their entire team to acquire Carmelo Anthony when they would've got him for less in free agency The Lakers giving up on D'Angelo Russell The Clippers trading away their UNPROTECTED 1st round pick (Kyrie Irving) at the trade deadline to get rid of Baron Davis The failed Jimmy Butler experiment in Minnesota The Magic trading Dwight Howard for scraps and the subsequent failiure of the Lakers in building a "superteam" The Kyrie Irving trade that dented the Cleveland Cavaliers' chances at NBA Championship

Even though Oladipo & Harris were on the Magic. I still don’t believe that they would have progressed like they have now.

It’s sorta like when James Harden said that if he didn’t get traded to the Rockets he would of gotten his chance to grow into the superstar player he is today.

James Harden averaged 36.4 a game for his MVP season. Those are Michael Jordan live numbers. He's one of the best playmakers the league has ever seen, has led the league in assists several times, took the Rockets to the Playoffs 8 straight years. If he didnt have to battle the Warriors 4 times, he'd have a few rings by now.
