QUEENS NY
Babe Ruth for.......cash

Jeff Bagwell for Larry Anderson

Pedro for Carl Pavano and someone else

"Brock for Broglio"

Nolan Ryan for Jim Fergosi

Frank Robinson for Milt Papas

Pierzynski for Nathan/Liriano/Bonser


That about covers baseball I think....

The Ryan trade is overrated, while a bad trade, Ryan hated NY so much he was contemplating retirement.

Kwame for Gasol
Seattle Trades Scottie Pippen to Chicago For Olden Polynice

:shaq2:Too bad that wasnt the full trade.

Was gonna say Jon Gruden being traded from Oakland to the Bucs but I thought it was for just cash but it looks like the Raiders got cash and 21st and rd picks and 2 2nd rd picks. In hindsight it was bad tho.

Didn't really work out for us. I mean, Gruden won a SB with what Dungy created and then he ran the team into the ground.

:comeon: @ Being an offensive minded coach and having the worst offense in the league.

:what: @ Having a team with 5 QBs that were all scrubs.

:snoop: @ Chris Simms being the starter, and then eventually Jeff Garcia and Brian Griese

Knicks trade Tim Thomas, Mike Sweetney (expiring deals) and two unprotected first round draft picks for a washed up Antonio Davis and Eddy Curry.

On top of that, we hand Curry a massive seven year deal, even tho he's been plagued by cardiac problems and was an underachiever his whole career. Curry just so happened to have a banner year when his contract was up (never happens, right?), and Isiah couldnt help himself. Knicks continue to suck, and those picks become number 2 in '06, and number 9 in 07....Aldridge and Noah respectively.

One of the worst trades in sports history, because the assets included were so unnecessary and Curry's fall off was quite predictable.
