BB moved to a warm climate, gets paid, doesn’t have to work, just works out a bit at a free gym.

People forget how badly that screwed the suns

Again, I’m amazed that the Suns DIDNT GET ANY 1st Rounders for handling that contract, any conditional 2nd’s that became firsts or pick swaps for that contract. It was so inexcusable to give up that much when not getting any pick leverage to handle it like other organizations did. An all time master class in how NOT to do a trade outside of the PG or Luka trades

They didn’t give up anything for him though

That trade wasn’t the one that killed us, still feel like the KD trade ruined us. Turning washed CP into an out of his prime Bradley wasn’t that bad. Getting KD gave up our entire future.

Pure hindsight idc. Paul George was 3rd in MVP that year.

No one knew SGA was going to be this good

If you have a chance to trade for a player who just finished the season as a MVP and DPOY finalist, you make that trade

This is the right answer. SGA was part of that trade too. Absolute fleecing.

This is probably the most lopsided trade but at face value, PG13 and Kawhi combo looked good at the time.

I was thinking this as well but that trade technically happened on July 2019 which was the previous decade.

Technically that was last decade.

It was for KL and PG. KL wasn’t signing without PG

Was not a fleece. Paul George was having his best years in OKC and SGA was a relative nobodyin comparison. I am sure no one expected him to be a future 2x MVP.

It was an overpay for the picks but thats it.

Analytically Hitler is diabolical.

It’s not as bad as it seems.

Terrible but its also too early to say.

Well in Brad Steven’s defense he is analytically Churchill

Jaylen Brown has been involved in two of the most egregious trades of the past decade

Can’t judge it until it plays out

I mean if he plays bad and ruins the Sixers, they are in financial hell for years. Let’s see what happens first?

No teams were offering anything for Brown, it can’t be a fleece

Not even the biggest fleece job jaylen was apart of

Hello KG and Pierce to Brooklyn

Paul George is the Mount Rushmore of fleeced trades

It’s not even close to one of the worst trades of the decade

How is it bad if it the season hasn’t even begun yet plus his contract is going to run up after this season

I don’t like the trade but it’s way too early to tell how bad, even maybe even good it is. This is different to the Luka trade as it was immediately clear how fucking stupid it was.

Maybe Brown doesn’t fit alongside Embiid & Maxey.

Maybe PG plays well and maintains his end of season form.

Maybe those picks turn out to be diamonds, or are used in bigger deals.

I want to shit on it hard, but I need to see it play out.

had to make sure i wasn’t in r/thesopranos 😹

It’s not bad, you guys got how much of percent of Dame with Rozier ?

Terry Rozier. Whatever happened there.

A Even worse cavs trade kinda like that is lebron james to the Miami Heat for two firsts and Two seconds only because the heat couldn’t wait to throw a party so the cavs told the heat to kick rocks unless they did it.

Cavs knew the heat advertised a party with lebron and the heat thought earlier in the day that they could just get it done for a second but we held lebron hostage and the heat didnt want bad pr of lebron missing his first event.

Set denver up for a chip in exchange for like gary clark and a pick lmao e: gary HARRIS his people showed up lmao

And in the same deadline they trade Vuc and Aminu for the pick that turned into Franz and got Wendell and then signed Vuc again this offseason lol

And the pick they got from that AG trade they used to help get Bane so In hindsight I guess it wasn’t horrible

I think it’s a hindsight thing.  AG in Orlando was supposed to be the franchise altering first option.  I don’t know if the Magic thought he’d embrace being a role player.  

In hindsight nothing from that trade package worked out but at the time it was a decent return for a player everyone had written off at that point. He was getting shipped out of town regardless in that blowing up of the roster.

It was the same day as trading Vuc and we made out really well with that one so it’s fine honestly. 

Brutal. KD, Kyrie and Harden together may have been the most individual offensive talent ever assembled but also the most toxic basketball minds ever united. God save us all

Hinkie let the Kangz Salary dump Carl Landry (I think) for a pick swap and a first.

They then didn’t sign anyone good with the cap space.

The pick also ended up swapping, as it was the 3rd pick, kings landed at 5. That was the Draft the Sixers traded up from 3 to get Faultz.

Yeah. I felt like at the time and in retrospect that KAT for Randle was mostly equal. Both players needed a change in scenery to be better versions of themselves. Regardless of whether KAT was a no 1 pick and at one time voted “best player to build a team around,” the Wolves are still about the same with or without him. Randle is better now; KAT is better now.

I love OG but there were a lot of concerns about his ability to stay healthy. Knock on wood, he’s been pretty durable so far.

Raptors got their starting backcourt for OG. Not really a fleece at all.

I agree its a bad trade but we gotta see how it plays out over the next year or two. If jaylen doesn’t work in Philly its gonna be real bad news for them and that’s what the celtics bet on

I love Brown but this trade is going to age so well for the Celtics

JB’s contract was going to be a problem.

Y’all overrating this trade. It’s fine. Boston gets off jaylens contract and they get two first round picks. This is way better than the luka trade. 

My analytics have Jaylen Brown as the worst player in NBA history

Wolves have to be the only team in the world that can get “fleeced” in back to back blockbuster trades and make the WCF in both of the following years. 

Exactly, you didn’t really have a choice, that Gobert trade made the team too expensive and they had to make a choice. Plus, let’s be honest, back then KAT’s trade value was lower and people hadn’t realized yet Randle couldn’t perform when it mattered.

And the most important part, staying under the second apron

That first is Beringer. Who people will hear about more this year

And we kept performing at the same clip.

That was a pretty good move for both teams

And being able to re-sign Reid because of the money saved

Some people might say that was only a fleece with the benefit of hindsight but honestly it was bad at the time too.

PG trade seemed pretty fair at the time. It was a lot, but you get the finals mvp and PG

That trade was so bad it created OKC ilout of thin air

The trade is too reasonable in concept. It worked out horribly, but the actual concept of Giannis and Dame makes sense.

Toumani came from the Suns tho. You could say that the Blazers fleeced the Suns. Dumped them all their bad contracts for Toumani and Ayton. 

This is commonly peddled as a lopsided trade but people forget about his contract. It’s not Bridges on his own. It’s Bridges plus the insane surplus value of his bench-level contract. The Knicks won because they were able to spend that money elsewhere.

2019

This one is tricky. At that time, it wasn’t bec no one thought SGA is going to be THAT good. Now, it can be a fair answer.

Thats a hindsight thing, you make that trade ¹⁰⁄₁₀.

It was listed but as us fleecing the jazz! I used to pray for times like this!

Also lowkey, it was obvious the Lakers were taking Lonzo Ball (UCLA kid, Magic Johnson being the GM) and it was clear the Celtics didn’t want fultz. Why trade up?

This is the answer right here, horribly trade at that time that got exponentially worse

Incorrect decade

Not this decade

Didn’t they immediately win a championship or something??

You all overrate Jaylen way too much
