Cry more.

Everything I’ve posted has started with a response to KCC.

KCC is just as culpable as you are.

It's getting tiresome as shit.

I'll change the discussion then with these points:

When we reflect on this era of NBA lore, we'll view Kawhi's season with the Raptors as the greatest rental trade in NBA history.

There have been 3 dynasties since 2000 in the NBA: Lakers, Spurs, Warriors. No more. No less.

The Celtics lore with KG, Pierce, and Allen is overrated as fuck.

Sacramento's streak of shit is comparable to the Browns before last season.

I don’t think anybody would disagree with that at all.

I think it has an argument for the greatest trade in NBA history period given the results. They got Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green, a Finals MVP and another starter on a championship team, for an overrated volume scorer (DeRozan) and a good defensive big prospect (Poeltl). That's pretty hard to top.
[Reply]

I added some stuff to that, too.

It honestly might be the greatest rental trade in the history of all professional sports. I can't even think of a NBA trade that comes close to that in the past 10 years.

He wasn't the same level of player as Kawhi, but was pretty damn instrumental in their success, including a ring, but the Rasheed Wallace trade was pretty damn good in its own right.

Too soon to tell, but KG and Pierce going to Brooklyn for what ended up being a #1 pick that was flipped to #3 and got Tatum might be up there one day.

Will never forget Bill Simmons nearly crying on TV during the draft when that happened (a trade that was obviously a boon for the Celtics when it happened and has become even better over time).
[Reply]

Man, I wonder what Baby Lee/BEP/etc. did to earn their banishments to DC?
[Reply]

Insanely great trade. Wish Toronto could have kept Kawhi.

Sacramento always seems to draft the wrong guy. They may have hit with Fox and Haliburton, but their picks over the past 25 years or so should be set to Yakity Sax.

Kobi for Divac was pretty good as well.

Barkley for Hornacek, Perry, and Lang was insane.

Novitski for Tractor Traylor (RIP)?

Hell, the bag of flaming poo that Sam Presti got for James Harden might be comparatively embarrassing.

Man, I'm a Minnesota Timberwolves fan. I'd kill to have the Sacramento Kings' legacy of losing to Kobe and Shaq in the finals.
[Reply]

I'll go out on a limb and try and answer your question in a thoughtful and nuanced manner.


No.

I am too and I'd take the Wolves' drafts over Sacramento's. That being said, including this year's first in the DLO trade was one of the dumbest things I've seen. Not sure how the Min press is letting Rosas say ANYTHING without asking about that trade.
[Reply]

Some trades would certainly be better in terms of cumulative value but it’s hard to top that result.
