So is Everyone in Agreement That The Paul George/Shai trade Was The Absolute WORST Trade in NBA History?

[Damnshow]

It's not the worst trade of all time

Hornets traded Kobe to LA

Sixers have once traded Wilt to LA for nothing good.

Same thing Bucks did by trading Kareem to LA for pretty much nothing.

Bucks also traded Dirk for Tractor Traylor lol

Harden for Jeremy Lamb is worse. It prevented a dynasty. OKC never got back to the finals without Harden


So far the clips with George has made a wcf. OKC with SGA has only sniffed the second round

Kevin Martin was the best player in that trade, not Jeremy Lamb. Not that it makes it better.

If the difference between falling short annually and being a dynasty is playoff Harden...then you wont be having a dynasty .

Clips were supposed to be the 90s Bulls. OKC was supposed to fade into irrelevance. They already won and picks are still owed.

I honestly don't think Shai develops the same if he was in LA

That infamous Boston/Nets trade is hands down the worst trade of all time and it isn't close but this isn't that far behind at this point. And they only made it because Kawhi and his uncle essentially forced their hands. They're extremely fortunate because it could be even worse than it currently is but getting Harden has managed to lessen the damage.

2nd worst is unquestionably OKC trading Harden for peanuts which directly cost them a dynasty.

What about the Stepien trade that got the Lakers Magic and saved some of these teams mentioned from themselves?

This is hindsight. When that trade happened plenty of people predicted ships

Trade has aged about as bad as can be imagined.

The fact that the Clippers not only traded Shai but 5 first round picks for PG is straight up nauseating. Shai by himself is much better than PG ever dreamed of being and will be the MVP this year but ontop of that to trade 5 unprotected 1sts is unfathomable.

Matterfact is their even a close second? The Clipps set their future back by easily another decade

The trade was for PG & Kawhi jackazz. Kawhi wasn't coming if the trade didn't go through. It was an idiotic and dumb move no doubt about that, but tell the whole entire story.

Also low key, we're coming out of the awful trade and the lack picks rather nicely. The future isn't dark at all.

OKC hasn’t even got to the WCFs yet

Phoenix was a shoe in to get back to The Finals in 22 until it didn’t happen

Slow ya rolllllllll

 

[L. Deezy]

Let’s give it until the end of next season. If OKC doesn’t get a chip before then things start looking shaky

Man.. if Shai get a ring and achieves what KD couldnt do.. lawd
