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

[Sk3ptical]

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

Won't change the fact that shai is 10 times better than Paul

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

Believe it or not, these aren't the worst trades in franchise history. Of the two, Kareem had the most real impact. They had zero leverage with him because his deal was up and he respectfully forced his way out of Milwaukee for a good reason. In hindsight and on paper, that deal might look weak. But, two of those guys (Winters/Bridgeman) have retired numbers with the team.

The Dirk/Tractor Traylor deal is misunderstood, even by Bucks fans. Dirk was never coming here and that trade was simply made to secure each team's preferred player. The team's logic was that they had Big Dog plus Ray Allen, but needed a post guy, which is why they set their sights on Tractor. Dirk was always a one-way ticket to Dallas, hence the deal.

While it's not the worst in league history, the worst for us would've been flipping a young Ray Allen for a Gary Payton rental because of goofy ass George Karl. GP didn't want to be here and that move set the team back for years. Ray should've retired a Buck.

And that doesn’t change the fact that if SGA doesn’t lead the team OKC has put together with The Clippers’s picks to the chip or Finals you’re not talking about shyt

The Clippers have had 50+ win seasons, 1st team all nba guys, top 5 mvp vote getters…that’s irrelevant

The Clippers are The Clippers because they haven’t won shyt
