WHAT HAPPENED To The BIGGEST NBA Trades Of The 2010s?

[@AdamKlownzinger]

Can’t believe you forgot when the Magic traded Luke Ridnour to the Grizzlies for Janis Timma. It was arguably the most important trade in NBA history

[@moresportinglogically4420]

My fault

[@Quietcomet]

So true it’s probably the worst trade for one team and the best for another!

[@laceup62]

As my man from the broadcast boys would say "WHO?" 😂

[@boydriceisawesome2520]

[@SonnyK248]

OKC trade timeline 2008- with the 24th pick the OKC Thunder select Serge Ibaka 2016- Serge Ibaka is traded for Victor Oladipo and Damontis Sabonis 2017- Oladipo and Sabonis are traded to Indiana for Paul George 2019- PG is traded for Shai Gilgeous-Alaxander, Danilo Gallinari and five first round picks and two pick swaps that have so far become Tre Mann and Jalen Williams 2020- Gallinari is traded to Atlanta for a second round pick So essentially the 24th pick became SGA, Jalen Williams, Tre Mann, three first round picks, two pick swaps and a second round pick. Not a bad price 😂

[@verymadhatter]

That pick also goes way further back. Royce Young did a video on the entire history of that pick thats pretty interesting. it started out with the Rashard Lewis trade in Seattle when Sam Presti first got hired on.

[@dubbyu4286]

Not to mention that PG trade lead them to get Halliburton

[@hotpot328]

Damontis Sabonis

[@hotpot328]

Shai Gilgeous - Alaxander

[@bytgfdsw2]

The Monta Ellis-Andrew Bogut trade should also be mentioned. It allowed Steph Curry to be no 1 on the team and gave Klay the opportunity for more minutes. Bogut as a passing big really helped the development of Draymond, and without the trade these three probably wouldn’t have developed the way they did

[@saul-goodman]

Kyle Lowry to Toronto for the 12th pick in the 2013 draft is an oft forgotten trade that had a butterfly effect on the league as a whole. Houston later traded that pick in the Harden deal, and OKC used it to draft Steven Adams. Nobody could've predicted 26 year old Lowry would emerge into the GOAT Raptor, nor could anyone have foreseen the growth of James Harden. That Lowry trade is so underrated and I see nothing but a win-win scenario for everyone involved in the chain of events that transpired during that wild offseason. That's the same offseason the Warriors got Iggy. It's also the year Milwaukee stole Giannis in the draft. In addition, it's the same offseason that Brooklyn made the Pierce and KG move. The more you really think about it, the 2013 offseason seems like one of the most eventful in NBA history, and at the time it was a bad draft and a weak free agency class. Hindsight is 20/20 I guess. Thank you to anyone who read my tangent lol.

[@perrywang689]

Mind blowing thing. Nothing that significant with the Clippers tho

[@saul-goodman]

@@perrywang689 Good thing I'm not a Clippers fan then lol. That was the summer they picked up JJ Redick who would become a staple of their most successful era in franchise history, so not nothing significant, just not Giannis, Lowry, Billy King levels of noteworthy

[@perrywang689]

@@saul-goodman yeah JJ Redick was important but not on that scale u r right tho haha

[@ivaneurope]

I'd like to point out is that Jayson Tatum was not picked with the Brooklyn pick. That was the 1st overall pick (which turned out Markelle Fultz), which the Celtics traded to Philadelphia, who got the 3rd pick in a pick swap with the Sacramento Kings (who received the 5th overall pick - De'Araon Fox). Boston didn't own the 2017 Nets pick per sé, but Boston invoked the pick swap that came in as part of the KG+Pierce deal. Brooklyn got the 27th pick, which Brooklyn used to select Kyle Kuzma, who was traded to the Lakers along with Brook Lopez for Timofey Mozgov (basically a salary dump) and DLo. DLo was later used in the KD sign-and-trade, who was later converted into Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson and multiple 1st round picks. Speaking of the KG+Pierce trade masterpiece from Billy King, this trade is the reason why Brooklyn has Ben Simmons as well. Jarrett Allen, who was used in the James Jarden trade from Houston, was acquired using pieces that can trace their origins in the KG+Pierce trade. And this trade is indirectly linked to other trades - including the Russell Westbrook trade to the Lakers (via Kyle Kuzma) and the return of DLo in purple and gold. Speaking of Mikal Bridges - the pick he was selected was originally the Lakers' own, used in the trade for Steve Nash, later traded to Philadelphia who traded him on draft night after selecting him back to Phoenix and ended up in Brooklyn. Which means that the Nash experiment in LA is another indirectly linked to the KG+Pierce trade. Basically the KG+Pierce trade shaped up the future of many NBA franchises

[@DEADBEATDAD333]

Damn bro I need you commenting on every NBA video, love this breakdown

[@Iceman-gs2xf]

Great breakdown man

[@Garnachogoat]

Insane

[@verward]

I want everyone to pause for a moment and realise the 76ers could have drafted JT and Mikal bridges. That would have been a monster lineup. The playoffs where Ben Simmons had his melt down, is also the playoffs where JT dropped 50 on the nets to drag his team to a win. That team could have won the chip that year.

Carmelo talked about leaving Denver on "all the smoke". He said he never wanted to leave Denver but they were rather trying to rebuild than to build a contending team around him and that's why he left.

[@ou8428]

It's revisionist history on his part to make himself look better. He was NEVER a good enough player to compete for championships. Impressive regular season stats but pretty empty come playoff time. An old Chauncy Billups was better as a playoff leader and contending piece than Mr. Jabstep.

[@reimixo]

@@ou8428 not really because that´s not what he said, he said that the yeam instead of building upon what they did in 09, they wanted to rebuild, going the opposite way they should be going, so he decided to leave

I remember when the Dwight trade happened, the next day, my friends and I made the Lakers super team on 2k12 and we playing with them. We were certain this was the team to end all teams lol.

[@aidanelder823]

It’s crazy how serge Ibaka basically turned into all of the assets to start OKCs rebuild

[@RE1GN_BLOOD]

It really is pretty remarkable how much Kevin Love did change by going to Cleveland. With the Wolves he was a force only to soon become a slimmer, sleeker version of himself who though getting a chip didn’t create the legacy I at least thought he would for himself.

[@moopert86]

The Melo trade was so crazy for the Knicks. They could have gotten him for no draft capital the next offseason, but they gave up a lot to get the dude. With that added depth and picks they may have been better suited to compete while he was there.

[@Mr.StevenKerr]

The Paul to the Lakwrs trade should have led to lawsuits, and Stern being removed. Way overstepped, he couldn't possibly be objective when he had all the owners in his ear and he works for them.

The Jermaine O'Neal/Shawn Marion trade in Feb 2009, is what allowed 2010s to unfold the way that it did. Marion Had an expiring contract that Bryan Colangelo wanted, and he gave up a first rounder to get it. O'Neal had an extra year on his deal, which was more valuable when you think about the 2010 Free Agent Class. Colangelo used the money to outbid the Blazers for Hedo Turkoglu that year. Pat Riley, waited one year, returned the draft pick to the Raptors in a S&T for Bosh. Then they S&T for LeBron. and the Big Three Era kicked off the 2010s.

Of course. His OPPG -18 when in the starting line up would have gotten us to the 2nd round. But thats it i think. Those teams issues was Russ is simply not the guy to lead a team in the POs. A better and more interesting What If?, IMO, is; What if Presti knew he could not trade CP3 and we had to compete in 2020, so he also never traded Grant? That bubble year, barely lost to tge Rockets.... i dunno.... add J Grants defense and make him an option at the 4 and we might have made the WCFs.

[@RealTomahawk7]

1:43 I should mention this little bit that at the time, the Knicks were in a bidding war with the then-New Jersey Nets. The Knicks feared they wouldn't have the chance to get Melo had the Nets trade with the Nuggets and Pistons went through. Doubly so, as the Nets were soon to relocate. So yes, while it's easy to look back and say they should've waited, I understand why the Knicks were hasty to pull the trigger. At least with the draft picks, we can say Murray was the only true "hit" out of all of them. It sucks, but at least the Knicks are on the right track now.

[@christophertapia1613]

i dont know if your from NY or not, but i am. This trade happened because the new cba was coming into affect that summer, in which contracts were going to be smaller if im not mistaken. Carmelo did not want that, and advised the knicks, that if they dont trade for him, he would go to the nets. Carmelo basically force NYK hand to make such a move, to please him. that is why i dont like carmelo, always has been, and will always be selfish.

[@RealTomahawk7]

@@christophertapia1613 I am. All I remember from that 2011 CBA was the lockout that preceded it. So, they might have been smaller, but I can't be certain of that. It also didn't help that Melo was supposed to be the big free agent in 2011, after he refused to sign an extension in Denver. Somebody else mentioned in another video, that most of that Nuggets team were also heading into contract years, and Melo didn't want to be a part of a potential long rebuild. Melo also wanted to come home, and with the Nets set to move to Brooklyn, which was also kind of a homecoming for him, it's rational to believe that he would've signed long term with the Nets. Either way, both the Knicks and Melo lost out in this scenario.

[@ImKarl]

The Knicks definitely fumbled when they traded half of their core for Anthony who was actually going to sign with them anyway.

[@LearnAtMyExpense]

Butler did not force a trade from the 76ers. The 76ers at the time did not have a GM, as Colangelo Junior was fired due to his Twitter fiasco. Brett Brown and Elton Brand. At the beginning of the playoffs that season, after having had Ben Simmons at PG all season, Brown made the decision to have Butler bring the ball up and be the primary handler. This upset Simmons greatly and at the end of the season he told Brown/Brand that either Butler does not get re-signed or Simmons wanted a trade. It's laughable now, but at the time Simmons was still considered a star player, and was much younger than Butler. While a bad decision in hindsight, Brown/Brand decided to not offer Butler a contract to placate Simmons. This has been confirmed by both numerous journalists as well as Butler himself, though he was told they chose re-signing Tobias Harris over him, it was really Simmons forcing the 6ers hand. They could have re-signed both.

[@terririnella4032]

Jamal Murray was a Knick potential draft pick, well we can add him to the list of (potential) superstars, legends, and hall of famers the Knicks could have gotten if they had kept the pick....yes Carmelo did very well in NY, and there is no guarantee he would have become a Knick or the player he is if they did draft him......but as someone who loves laughing at the Knicks, and has since the 90s, this is just hilarious and so much fun it just proves the theory that trading with the Knicks, and ending up with one of their picks (original or acquired) is the best thing a team can potentially do

Don't forget Deron Williams to the Nets. Didn't really do much for either team. The Williams era obviously didn't work out for the Nets. For the Jazz, Derrick Favors was a fan favorite, but never developed into a star, nor did the draft picks they got (Enes Kanter, plus a pick they used to trade up and get Trey Burke).

The Carmelo trade had to be in top 3 most stupid trade decisions ever on NY’s part. Melo literally already said multiple times he planned on signing with the Knicks when his contract as up and they destroyed their bench and their future to bring him to their team a couple months sooner for absolutely no reason. I actually think it’s because of that trade, that teams will refuse to offer what the Bucks think they’ll get for Giannis now that he wants out. A team would be braindead to trade for him instead of waiting.

It blows my mind that theres still ppl who dont understand the CP3 to Lakers non-trade. Its probably because most youtubers dont understand it so they spout shit. This was not a situation of a trade being rejected in a way like never before. The proposal that was made that both teams would have to agree on BEFORE submitting it to the NBA, is what was rejected. Stern and 29 owners who where subsidizing the continued existance of the NOP, voted on if the trade was acceptable and then if it passed the interim GM, i forget his name, would have submitted it to the NBA. But only 2 owners (Cuban and.... portlands) voted in favor of it, the other 27 teams voted against it and Stern as rep. for the NOP also rejected it, not that it would have mattered. Please people, for the of god, get thos shit right. Im so tired of people crying about it, all because thsy dont understand it.
