All-Time Worst NBA Trades

Look at Paytons hair!

Lakers traded Sam Perkins for Doug Christie and Benoit Benjamin

that trade was the beginning of the end of the showtime era Lakers

Knicks trading Ewing and end up getting
Glen Rice( didn't last long)
Luc Longley ( retired)
Travis Knight (released this year and no one wants to sign him lol)

bucks trading Ray Allen, Kevin Ollie, and Ronald Murray for
Gary Payton ( gone to LA )
Desmond Mason
i can't believe they thought they could of resign payton.

How about this one guys:

Chicago trades Jason Caffey for David Vaugn of Golden State. They threw away Caffey for Vaugh who was never able to play for the Bulls.

Actually, if I remember correctly, Vaugh played several games for the bulls but was ultimately released for his inability to learn the triangle offense. Caffey was traded away because of his bitching. He complained to the media all the time about lack of playing time as Kukoc often got the nod to go in for Dennis and for Scottie AND sometimes even for Longley which left Caffey with some good minutes, but nothing like the chances Kukoc kept getting. Had he shut up and played right, Caffey could have gotten the start at the PF after the dismantle.

I have always thought that Caffey missed his window. He could have been something similar to Elton Brand yet not as offensive but h is stay in Golden State stagnated his career and he never recovered.

Tyson Chandler for Elton Brand

I very much disagree. Chandler is capable of 14 to 16 rebounds in a game with around 14 points. That production is better than Elton's 20 and 10. The problem with Chandler is the injury which is a breathing problem no matter what Chicago tells the media. I am in medicine and I have watched him on the sidelines, dude can't breath. Might be bronchial, hard to tell. I am sure they have been working on a medical solution and if they find it Chandler will remind a lot of people of something between Kareem and Garnet. I think Chandler could develop into a 3 like Garnet has been known to play, a 4 as Garnet has been known to play, or (if they oust Curry) one amazing 5.

1987 draft day trade......Scottie Pippen to Chicago for Olden Polynice to Seattle.

as a chicago fan, i loved this trade.

I think you've set some unmatchable standards for Tyson Chandler.

Atlanta Trades: Glen Robinson
Minnesota Trades: Terrell Brandon
Philadelphia Trades: Keith Van Horn
New York Trades: Latrell Sprewell

Atlanta Gets: Terrell Brandon.....

the brandon/spree/robinson/Van Horn traded was all about salary cap space for Atlanta.

Vaughn only played 3 games for Chicago after the trade, though the reason for his release his right.

A lot of these trades aren't really bad at all. Those teams wante rades are for players that go bust.
