Has any other franchise ever traded their young superstar player without the player asking/forcing a move before or is this a 1st

ironically the closest we have seen to Luka situation was Nola trading AD but He wasn't a superstar despite his stats/talent

so KAT was/is a superstar player when traded? :comeon:, that news to me
dumbest post i've read on here in a while

they had just made the WC final, he is young and is a 5x all star. Its very close to the Luka situation. Luka aint just a super star though, he a generational player

I noticed you dodged the question. Was KAT a superstar when they traded him because that's the whole point of this thread

KAT was literally seen as an empty stats guy whose previous record before finally reaching WC final was riddled with failure and was no different than demarcus cousins in sacramento

Nola trading AD is closer to Luka's situation than KAT getting traded

KAT was a superstar too

None of these situations is like this, a mid season trade of a once in a generation player

You must have a loose definition of the term

Every empty stats guy that the cat dragged in is not a superstar. There are only an handful of superstar players in every era

You are confusing stars and all star caliber players with superstars

Maybe only in other sports. Maybe Wayne Gretzky maybe? But I think it was because the owner was broke and traded him for players and money

Never..

All the comparisons are invalid

Not one time has a team traded an ALL.NBA talent under the age of 27.

Talent like that is like that bad bytch u liked in HS..
By the time that hoe is available she got 3 kids and ran thru..

So it's definitely unprecedented..


And the cherry on top is to our knowledge he didn't ask for a trade..

So that's what makes this situation different as well

A superstar must meet certain criteria while still being in their peak (hence there are vets who use to be superstars see Jordan at the wizards)

popularity i.e fame,shoe and jersey sales,peak brand endorsement etc

reputation i.e face of the league or consistently regarded as top 5 players in the league for multiple seasons

Accolades/body of work-this is self explanatory

the late 90's - early 2000's superstars were shaq,Kobe,Iverson,Duncan and KG

late 2000's superstars- Lebron,Kobe,wade,Duncan,Dirk

2010's Lebron, KD,steph,Harden,Kawhi
