    You mean at the time? Or after it when people knew that someone got ripped off?

    The Celtics-Warriors trade hands down.The Celtics traded the #1 overall draft pick and the #13? Not sure on that one.Anyways they traded those 2 picks to the Warriors for Robert Parish and the #3 pick which they used to draft Kevin Mchale.The Warriors used there picks to draft nobodys. While the Celtics used that trade to form the greatest frontcourt in NBA history.The Bulls getting Pippen from Seattle for Olden Polynice.Pippen- 6 rings, one of the greatest players to play the gamePolynice- Not much [​IMG] Also whichever team traded Bill Russell away. I think it was the Hawks. That was a dumb move as well.

    how about the hawks trading Rasheed Wallace for a bunch of scrubs on the pistons...that was a pretty lop sided trade, look where the Pistons are now because of sheed.

    I will admit this one. It was actually good for both teams but in terms of talent very lobsided.Eric Williams, Aaron Williams, Nets 14th pick for Vincent Lamar Carter.

Caron butler was a swingman and like Kenny thomas he only was intrested in trying his hardest when he got alot of touched.And miami/laker trade was awful because the only player now remaining was Odom. We could've gotten more out of Shaq,

    At the start, it seemed as Orlando got the better deal, getting Grant Hill for two scrubs, Ben Wallace and Chucky Atkins. But Detroit got the better of it, as both started for Motown. As for Orlando, they got the king of injuries. Wallace became a huge all-star, and the face of the Pistons. Chucky became huge trade bait, and warmed up the point guard spot for Chauncey Billups. Then there's the Rip Hamilton and Hubert Davis deal for Jerry Stackhouse and Brian Cardinal. Jerry became an injury prone great backup, but Cardinal did nothing for Washington. Rip is a huge piece to the Piston puzzle, and is another face of Detroit.
