and i came along this trade while i was going through the past drafts and i definitiely deem it the WORST TRADE EVER

1998- Dallas trades rights to Robert Traylor to Milwaukee for rights to Dirk Nowitzki and Pat Garrity


ouch

That is a bad one. The worst one I remember is when Seattle drafted Scottie Pippen and traded him to Chicago for Olden Polynice.

AHAHAHA

lol thats pretty bad to... i am sure there are some older ones before my time that were terrible to

You didn't know that about Dirk?

yes yes...

not until i read it... i never really followed him... i also found it was interesting that steve nash was drafted by phoenix then traded for garrity, a 1st round pick and garbage and his now back there... i love finding out things like this

lol polynice for pippen..pathetic

the worst trade EVER is not even close.


Lakers trade
VLADE DIVAC to the Hornets
for the rights to
KOBE BRYANT.


nuff said.

TRUE!

OMG Hornets trading doesnt get worse than that

wow...

Those are some pretty bad draft day trades.

I think one of the worst has to be Vince for Antawn, I'm not saying Antawn is bad but DAMN!

The worst trade ever was the Warrior trading Robert Parish and a draft pick (which ended being Kevin McHale) to the Celtics for Joe Barry Carroll (who was the #1 draft pick that year 1979?).. now that was lopsided!!

yea those are all pretty bad... i havent seen to many "terrible" pistons trades so its ok

That's because all their players leave for more money.

elaborate? i only see ben leaving because he is dumb... i still cant believe his reasoning... he would of been the HIGHEST paid player on the whole team and thats not good enough! good you deserve to leave town

Haha, Ben is making a smart move. He realized the Pistons have nothing left, especially if the Cavs, on wait, LeBron James, almost forced them out of the playoffs.

so if they have nothing left they should do worse now without him then the bulls with him correct? not gonna happen! also u r saying he would rather play on a team with all youngins then a team of proven champs and what could of been a future dynasty team? the bulls are not getting better then a 4 SEED!!! mark my words, and o yea 3000 to 1 says the heat dont make the finals next year

The Bulls will advance farther than the Pistons, mark MY words

And why? Because the Pistons are losing fuel! You just don't want to admit it, which is fine — live in denial all you want.

As for the Heat: how did they get thrown into the conversation? Does the Heat making the finals matter? Oh right, it doesn't because we're not talking about the Heat.

hmmm how did the pistons and ben wallace even get brought up in the title?? considering it says past trades through the nba draft.. so guess what i can bring up the lucky heat team if i want... shaq is on the down low right and wade is the only player gonna be left on that team! they aint getting past the east finals and yes i GUARANSHEED the pistons finish higher then the bulls this season and advance farther then the bulls because the bulls-post Jordan Era- are a one round wonder... wait and see and make sure u come back here when the bulls got that 4 spot and get bounced the first round or 2nd at the latest

Hahahaha, OK, Steven, we'll see. This coming from the guy who bet me the Heat wouldn't beat the Pistons this year

Oh you're so cute when you're feisty

yea and me about 90 percent of the world woulda took that bet.. everyone knows who the best team in the league was last year they just ran out of gas...
