[@ryansanow3276]

Sometimes I don’t see why the Kyrie trade was so awful for the Cavs as Kyrie ended up leaving for nothing in Boston after 2 seasons and the trade got the Cavs Collin Sexton, which got them Donovan Mitchell

⁠​⁠@@juliothom2408I agree especially with Boston but really all the draft one since it just hard impossible to predict and Boston trading the 30 pick usually would not be bad but they aren’t trash now.an example is if Boston traded Walsh there wouldn’t be much controversy and 5 years later we could say it’s a terrible move same thing for the 30th pick in this draft

[@michaelcarrig627]

I don't care that Wendell is gone, when Lonzo was healthy (for those couple months) there was a glimpse of the vision, but the picks were the real problem. And once Lonzo went down, it has been pretty clear that we need to move on from Vuc and DeRo. Vuc would be good on a contender. While he is streaky, he is an inside out scorer and a strong rebounder that can work when hidden on defense. But this roster is not good enough to have him as your third guy. Go out and get some picks and get this rebuild started.

[@jsports2665]

Should of done it this psst season... vucevic has little value now

[@camgoczeski2198]

The bulls trade actually did work out for us though. We were leading the East into the 2022 all star weekend. Literally the 1 seed. Then lonzo got hurt (and Caruso) and shits never been the same

[@MrRapmaster19]

What makes the Porzingis trade even worse for the Knicks was that the main goal of the trade was to clear up 2 max contract slots for 2019 Free Agency (hence why they added the bloated contracts of Courtney Lee and Tim Hardaway Jr. to the deal for an expiring Deandre Jordan). As we know, they did not get any max players and if it weren’t for firing Steve Mills and the growth of Julius Randle, this would look even worse for them.

[@oggrimes164]

Porzingus demanded a trade

[@hanli5416]

Without the porz trade no barret and so no og anunoby, so i kinda feel that particular take is kinda off.

[@MrRapmaster19]

@@oggrimes164 yes but the package they got back was terrible and the org didn’t do their due diligence in getting the right deal. They just ended up doing it as a salary dump move more than anything. Only benefits the Knicks got out of it was that they traded DSJ for Derrick Rose and that ‘21 first became Quentin Grimes, who they traded for Bojan Bogdanovic

[@MrRapmaster19]

@@hanli5416 Porzingis was out for the 2019 season anyway, would’ve had no impact on whether the Knicks got RJ or not, they had the worst record in the NBA when they traded Porzingis and held onto that title after they did.

[@NYCoogs]

We then signed Julius Randle over Kd and Kyrie and Randle became one of our better players in the last 20 years and with the help of Randle and the addition of Brunson we have already had the same amount of success as the nets did with those 2 players so looking back at it I’ll happily make the Porzingis trade 10/10 times

[@kevinestes9800]

About Lillard and McCollum, they were best friends on the same team, similar to Francis and Mobley, so it's understandable why they waited so long to make the right move, as they didn't want to upset their star (especially since Francis declined sharply after that trade, though Mobley had some good years on the Clippers before being forced to retire). Yeah, they waited a few years too long, but I understand why they waited. They really needed to put defensive players next to Lillard and CJ, but put the likes of Allen Crabbe and an old Melo as the third option next to them, which was just awful. You can't build your team around multiple bad defenders and expect to win it all, which the 2001 Bucks were THE lesson (Allen, Cassell, Robinson, and sixth man Tim Thomas, none known for their D, all couldn't overcome Iverson and his defensive supporting cast of Mutombo, McKie, Snow, Tyrone Hill, George Lynch, etc., despite the ref controversies), as well as the D'Antoni Suns, where Nash and Amare, two terrible defenders, were the two best players (and they made their huge mistake by trading their best defender, Marion, for an old Shaq who was a defensive liability anymore. Marion would have helped in the 2010 WCF, where old Grant Hill was their best defender by a considerable margin, but not to a point where he made scoring difficult for Kobe. He then won a ring the next season on the most complete team in the league, with an elite superstar and sixth man, with numerous 3&D players to throw at LeBron and Wade, with an elite rim protector in Chandler, who was more consistent than Haywood and Dampier ever were). So yeah, I clearly understand why they waited, but having a non-defensive duo as your best players, like Lillard/CJ, Nash/Amare, Melo/Iverson, or Williams/Boozer, or even a trio like the Bucks and Mavs big three in the early 2000s, will NEVER result in championships. The saying is that defense wins championships, and the one year that LeBron's Cavs in his second run had good defense (which shows the importance of TEAM defense, as they had Kyrie, Love, and JR playing big minutes and had an undersized Tristan Thompson at center. If the Warriors had a real offensive threat at the 5 like Gasol, Bynum, Towns, Cousins, Embiid, or Jokic to make their three point shooting even more potent, Curry would have as many rings as Kobe now, even with Draymond suspended), they won the championship, and why the 04 Pistons won it despite having no true superstar (they had MUCH better chemistry than the Lakers too, with the Kobe/Shaq feud at its peak).

Yeah but you can't say these teams would have picked same player. Like Kobe, if Jerry didn't want him, he would have never been drafted so high. Let alone turn into same player with any other team. Eddie Jones could have filled that role easily. Fyi, Kwhy was coming home regardless. Just which side of the building.

I love a video analyzing the value of trades that don’t even give a second of consideration to the length of the contracts being traded - one of the most important factors in the trades themselves.

[@ryanwhirty1915]

I’m a Pelicans fan, and it broke my heart when they traded away Jrue. Seeing him go onto so much success elsewhere hurts even more. Jrue remains my all-time favorite Pelican. I still have my Holiday Pels jersey and wear it with a mix of pride and sadness. Even putting aside my own personal feelings, the trade absolutely killed the Pels, and it exposed David Griffin for the terrible executive he was.

[@dylangraham5517]

Mike, this is, in my opinion, one of your best video types. Your ranking videos and videos that include the best/worst __________ for all 30 teams are among your best ones that you ever put out. Hope you’re doing well!

[@jadenbarry6012]

My Wolves trading for Dlo has been one of the better trades in franchise history for merly shaking the roster of Wiggins that and being expted tonsave the franchise contract so bringing in bringing in Dlo a different element that brought us back to the playoffs, since the Wiggins and Dlo swap the value of the woles has drastically improved which got us ANT.

[@marianopie3785]

Popovich hates the Lakers with passion, if he didn't he would've accepted Magic Johnson's *ridiculous* offer of literally half the roster (including Lonzo, Ingram and Kuzma). His bitterness got in the way of his judgement. Biggest mistake of his career

[@pear-head]

I feel like you don't understand the Poole trade. Poole had an enormous contract. Paul had a contract with only one guaranteed year. It was to clear up money because the Warriors were spending more money than every single team in the NBA and the Clippers are the only team that's remotely close. The new CBA is punishing and hinders your ability to get players, and this win. Without being a sure fire winning team, their salary absolutely needed to fall. They paid 176.8 million dollars in luxury tax. For reference, the Suns paid the 3rd most in luxury tax at 68.6 million, literally more than 100 million dollars less. Beyond all that, Poole was horrific this year. Even if he wasn't, the trade was a W due to being able to dump Paul after a year rather than paying Poole 30 million/yr for four years (including this year). Poole had one of the worst contracts in the league.

[@meditationkings6025]

Nka has been a good defender this year mike

[@TBCLINQ]

I can agree with your point from the butler situation , that the front office likes Tobias instead of Butler. nor even a single bit on why they traded Mikal.

[@sydneychukwukelu]

Golden State Warriors didn't make any bad trade. They were able to dump Poole's long term contract and have more cap space flexibility. Also they are planning to get out of the luxury tax this next season which is good

[@isandrooo]

L take on the Jordan Poole trade. CP3 and steph had a great +/- when playing together, while Jordan played Awful in an increased role. The reason the trade looks bad now is because cp3 is obviously injury prone and the warriors suck.

But regardless, Euroleague is no joke. How tf doesn't he get the #1 draft pick? Blows me away. Scouts actually believe a USA College player could go to the Euroleague & take over? That kid would get an extreme wake up call. BTW, I believe they still actually play defense in Euro ball. WTF would any of these kids do over there when someone actually plays defense on them?

Edit: Also, the Rudy Gobert trade is not the worst for the Jazz, wtf are you talking about? Trading away 4 solid players, 2 of which was given to them in the Gobert trade, for JTA, Damian Jones and a single 1st round pick was way worse.

What is this dude on, what an absolutely brain dead take for Memphis. Steven adams was great for them Bcs he didn’t need touches like Jonas. Don’t get the wrong I loved Jonas but Bcs he left more touches opened up for young players like bane ja and jjj to develop. Not to mention how much Memphis offense used to run through him specially for his picks. When they didn’t have him for their playoff runs it was very evident. And he’s just injured right now hes not “almost out of the league” like bro did you even try to put any effort into your video or did you just look up trades on google and check the stats of the players involved in the trades smh. You used to do quality content man this vid was just sad. Although he is right about the trey Murphy part ig.

[@Jerrybonds25]

RJ was traded for an underwhelming package lol OG Ananoby is an underwhelming package turning off now

[@felix9533]

Some of these are just plain wrong. Steven Adams was better than Val and his rebounding and defense was what allowed JJJ to win DPOY as a help defender. Aaron Gordon being move, along with Vuc and Fournier, allowed the magic to tank the rest of that season and the next season, allowing them to draft Suggs and Paolo respectively. Jrue Holiday was an incredible trade for the Pels, Getting 4 1st round picks up until 2027 is amazing considering how volatile Milwaukee looks rn, and even if they convey to late 20's picks, jrue only had 2 years left on his contract and probably would have left in free agency. The Knicks Porzingis trade opened up so much cap space for the knicks that they were able to sign Julius Randle and Marcus Morris, who was traded for Immanuel Quickley. It also gave New York the pick that was traded for Quentin Grimes. Without trading Porzingis, the Knicks would have been stuck in mediocrity for another few years, instead of contending like they are now The Spurs Trading Kawhi for Deebo and Poeltl might have been one of the best trades out of a superstar requests out. Out of this trade they ended up with a good young player in Keldon Johnson, and 2 draft picks from underwhelming teams, CHI and TOR. This trade might end up being what builds a dynasty in SA. Raptors, Obv too early to tell, but a guy on the last year of his deal and the Raptors clearly didn't want him bc of his fit with Scottie Barnes, idk why getting 3 first round picks for him and still clearing out cap space is a bad thing. Utah had seen enough of the Spida Gobert pairing, they had maybe the best possible supporting cast around them and they still were not enough to make it past the second round. Blowing it up and getting 5 firsts and Walker Kessler is amazing considering that the TWolves will be giving their picks to Utah when Gobert will be 36 and possibly retired.

Not to mention that Aaron Gordon was not playing good in Orlando at the time this trade was made so his trade value was extremely low. It's easy to say in hindsight that the Magic could use a guy like AG on their team but back in 2021, the Magic were not getting a better trade for Gordon from other teams and if they kept Gordon around, they're not in a position to draft Banchero and they would still be where the Magic were before this trade happened: mediocre.

To be fair he had to pick a "bad" recent trade for each team. Some teams may not have a terrible recent trade but he had to go with something for every team.

The Knicks “ underwhelming package” that they got for RJ Barrett included OG Annuby . That’s underwhelming?

[@nickralston4140]

The rj trade was definitely worth it

GARY HARRIS IS NOT OUT THE NBA. HE PLAYS FOR ORL CURRENTLY

[@SaadFAzam]

If bucks worst trade involves losing donte divencenzo... Thats pretty good decision making overall.

This video was just to get some money because a good percentage of these trades, aren’t good takes. Appreciate the consistency on videos but some of these trades, a team could’ve kept someone that had bad chemistry with their team or haven’t seen that player play because they’ve never played in the league yet so, it’s just gambling and seeing what creates chemistry. Jimmy leaving 76ers, bad trade for 76ers. But that Orlando take is crazy lol

This is stupid Luka came out and said he would play for Dallas only and if any other team that draft him he will go back to play in Europe. SGA was traded because him and lamelo play the same position tall point guard that need the ball that wouldn’t work one of them would’ve been traded anyway you look at it.

Warriors trade wasn't that bad considering the contract they gave Poole

[@maybachrob9475]

Gary Harris kinda cooks

[@konzza]

Orlando most definitely haven't become one of the biggest success stories. Like wtf?? One mediocre season in godawful east counts as one the biggest success stories?

As a Jazz fan, I really wish the Jazz traded Rudy for QUALITY picks, not QUANTITY. I wonder if the kings would have accepted Rudy for their 4th pick that year (for the Jazz to take Ivey)

In fairness, Minnesota draft picks have historically been a good bet to end up going well for you.
