Theres plenty of real life trades that don't seem at all plausible then some how actually happen. Elton Brand traded for Tyson Chandler. Brandon Bass traded for a less productive twice as highly paid Glen Davis. Tyson Chandler traded for PJ Brown. Hedo Turkoglu traded for Vince Carter. Tyson Chandler traded for Emeka Okafor. Marcus Camby traded for Travis Outlaw. Tyson Chandler traded for cap space then voided by the Thunder. Gerald Wallace traded for crappy lottery protected picks. Tyson Chandler traded for Erick Dampier. Tyson Chandler traded for trade exception to the Knicks. Tyson Chandler trade exception traded to the Lakers for Lamar Oden.
Or, we can all have Blazer games that take place in Imagination Land, and argue about the games in Imagination Land that aren't a part of reality in Imagination Land Game Threads. That's actually a good idea...
I think it is the same reason Moses Malone bounced around. Some bad teams, but mostly teams thinking less of him since they got him for little compensation.
Comparing Moses Malone to Tyson Chandler is NBA sacrilege. Moses had a 13-year streak of 20+ PER seasons, and 12 of those years were 21.2+.
Not comparing the two on the court, just the method bothwere acquired. At the other end of the spectrum is Oden. Because we have a #1 invested in him and passed up Durant to draft him, it is harder to accept making a mistake and trading him.
