Jesus Christ.
I already said this earlier in the thread.
If you can't be assed to learn the fucking history of draft day trades stop fucking talking about them.
Dallas didn't trade for Dirk. They drafted him. MIlwaukee wanted Robert Traylor and did not think he would last to their 9th pick, while nobody was going to draft Dirk that high. So Dallas drafted Traylor for Milwaukee and then traded him for Dirk who Milwaukee drafted for them. Had Dallas never been able to setup a trade they likely would have just drafted Dirk 6th.
Other stupid spam posts in the thread this applies to:
The OP and its Roy/Foye question. (And the similar Jamison/Carter deal.)
Kobe Bryant, who refused to play for the Hornets and was drafted for the Lakers.
The Pistons drafting Bosh and going anywhere. (Okay, not the same, but still...this is the guy who can't get 5 rebounds a game currently this season.)
