Bucks trade Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to Lakers for Elmore Smith, Junior Bridgeman, Brian Winters and Dave Meyers.
Here is a list of how stupid the Celtics have been in the past 6 years: Celtics players traded/let go/could have had with traded draft pick ? David Wesley (let go) ? Rick Fox (let go) ? Dee Brown (traded) ? Chauncey Billups (traded) ? Eric Williams (traded) ? Ben Wallace (let go) ? Andrew DeClercq (traded) ? Andre Miller or Shawn Marion (1999 first round pick) ? Travis Knight (traded) ? Ron Mercer (traded) ? Dana Barros (traded) ? Danny Fortson (traded) ? Joe Johnson (traded) ? Randy Brown (traded) ? Kenny Anderson (traded) ? Vitaly Potapenko (traded) ? Joseph Forte (traded) ? Casey Jacobsen or Frank Williams (via 2002 traded draft pick) ? Rodney Rogers (still a FA) Celtics players that remain via trade/signing/remaining draft picks ? Antoine Walker (via contract extension) ? Paul Pierce (via draft then contract extension) ? Eric Williams (via trade) ? Tony Battie (via trade and contract extension) ? Kedrick Brown (via Denver pick from Mercer trade) ? Tony Delk (via trade) ? Vin Baker (via trade) ? Shammond Williams (via trade) ? 2 first round picks in the 2003 NBA draft (one via 76ers trade for Moiso) Side note: Vin Baker is the most overpayed player in NBA history. He should pay the Celtics to play for them.
Kobe for Vlade was not a bad trade... it may seem like a joke now because of how good Kobe is and how good he will be...but Kobe was a BIG gamble...and Vlade was one of the best centers in the game at the time...the attitude of the NBA of the time was not supportive of high school players coming in to the NBA...if Kobe were a senior in high school right now...believe this he would be gettin the Lebron hype just as much as lebron is gettin it...so it would be like someone offering up Jermaine Oneal (trying to think up a comparably skilled big man) for a hypeless LeBron James...not that dumb to take it if u ask me =T big men are harder to find then swing men... of course in hindsight it is ridiculous as are a lot of the trades mentioned above...Nowitzki and Garrity for Tractor Traylor...now to me that must have seemed dumb from the very start but oh well =P and Detroit actually got shafted on that Hill trade...until Wallace became crazy and Hill became a gimp -.- good trades pointed out tho =)
