The All-Time WORST Trade From EVERY NBA Team!

[@leos_27]

The worst Jazz trade is BY FAR the Gail Goodrich trade, trading the 1979 pick for a washed *FORMER* all-star. The Jazz didn't make the playoffs, and that pick became Magic Johnson.

[@flibbidyx2]

It gets worse. They actually traded THREE first round picks to the Lakers. The other two picks didn't turn into great players, but there was still a twist: Moses Malone. The Jazz had previously given up the rights to their 1977 first round pick for the rights to get Moses when the ABA folded. Upon signing Goodrich, they didn't have enough picks to give the Lakers for compensation. The NBA made an unusual deal with the team that allowed them to regain their '77 pick by renouncing their rights to Moses Malone, placing him in the dispersal draft. All so they could send that pick to the Lakers as part of the Goodrich deal. So they basically gave up Moses Malone plus first round picks in 1978 and '79, with the '79 pick turning into Magic Johnson.

Though it worked out, the worst trade for the Raptors might be to get Kyle Lowry. They traded their 1st round pick for 2013 and a player for Lowry. Come off season, the Raptors saw the potential of a certain Greek prospect and were going to draft him. They attempted trades to get picks in order to draft Giannis, but none were successful. Eventually, the Bucks drafted Giannis and the rest is history.

Psh, go look at the bad trades the Cavs made in the late 70s & early 80s and you'll see it could have been worse. The Stepien rule that still exists today was created because of the god awful Cavs owner at the time that traded away their first round picks like they were candy, away from a bad team and not for good players at that. Literally, the guy wrecked the team so badly that the NBA allowed the new ownership to buy back first round picks in the years that were traded away after the team got sold.

How was that the worst Spurs trade? Demar was a solid return. Kawhi wasn’t playing, had a year left in his contract and was leaving for nothing. Instead of nothing, they got a 4 time all star back that played well his 3 years with the spurs. If the Raptor didn’t win the championship, that probably would of been their worst trade.

[@unlimitedpower4101]

Spurs trading Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green for DeMar DeRozan, Jakob Poeltl, and Keldon Johnson wasn't their worst trade. DeMar DeRozan gave them a couple of good seasons and then was flipped for role players and Jakob Poeltl is their starting big man who's really solid.

[@tj5180]

Kawhi never wanted to play for the team. So it was a good move instead of keeping him and getting hold hostage. They got Demar who was in his best version obviously not better then kawhi and got Jakob one of the underrated defenders then drafted a player with potential like KJ

[@RudieObias]

The year the Cavs traded Kyrie Irving for IT was the same year the Cavs traded IT for a bunch of role players and made it to the NBA Finals. Kyrie left Boston after two disappointing seasons and never made it back to the NBA Finals after leaving Cleveland. The Cavs also got Brooklyn's 2018 draft pick from Boston as part of that IT trade, which turned into Collin Sexton, who Cleveland later traded to Utah for Donovan Mitchell. I think the Cavs ultimately won that trade! 🤣

[@abw1317]

The first one was also a race thing.

[@TheHuskyK9]

To add insult to injury for the Bill Russell trade, at the time, both the Hawks owner and their fans were extremely racist. The fans (most were white and the team was located in St. Louis) pressured the owner and threatened violence if he didn't trade Bill away for the white hometown-favorite Ed McCauley and the owner caved in. At the time, St. Louis was a pro-segregation city and didn't allow black and white players to stay at the same hotels or use the same stores or amenities. After the trade, Ed helped them win their only ring in his rookie season and only played for them for 3 years. Meanwhile, the Celtics became a dynasty with Bill and beat the Hawks 2 years in a row in the finals right after. The Hawks never made a finals appearance ever since. Talk about poetic justice...

[@ashwinranji8790]
