During the offseason and the pre-All-Star period every year, fans are most concerned about the big deal that may happen at any time, because an excellent deal can not only greatly increase the strength of their favorite team, but even enter the ranks of championship competitors in one fell swoop. However, if the draft is like gambling, then the deal is business. Since it is business, it is a loss and a gain. The following small series will bring you NBA history. Top 1 deals that lose money (rookie deals are not counted, because no one knows whether rookie players can play or not)
Mosaic team trades Hayes
as one of the top 5 NBA superstars and Hall of Famers? Big e? Elvin Hayes, who was selected by the Mosaic team in 1968 with the No.1 pick, became the scoring king in the rookie season with an average of 28.4 points, and he also ranked fourth in the league with 17.1 rebounds. In the second season, he averaged 27.5 points and 16.9 rebounds, among which he ranked third in the league in scoring and became the rebounding king in the third season, averaging 28.7 points and 16.6 rebounds. In the fourth season, the data decreased slightly, but it still had 25.2 points and 14 rebounds, and it has established its position as the top five inside players in the league. But after the fourth season, Mosaic chose to trade Hayes to Baltimore Bullets. Do you know what chips the Bullets paid for Hayes? Jack Marin, a jumper who was selected as an All-Star only twice in his career, was not equal in performance or status at that time. It can be said that the Mosaic team made a bloody deal.
bucks trade Jabbar
In p>1975, Jabbar applied to the bucks for a deal, but at that time, the bucks' management saw that there was no hope of retaining people, and when Jabbar led the team independently, his record was only 38 wins and 44 losses, which made the bucks doubt about Jabbar's ability to lead the team. Moreover, Jabbar was 28 years old at that time, and the bucks' management did not think that Jabbar's peak period would last long, so after receiving the offer from the Lakers, The Bucks sent Jabbar to his favorite Los Angeles, and got four players, Giugno bridgman, Duff meyers, Elmore Smith and Brian Winters, but these four players were all unknown players in the NBA at that time. It was difficult for the Bucks to trade these goods with the first center in the league at that time.
Nets sell 3 million dollars for Dr. J. Owen
Friends who are familiar with Dr. J. Owen should know that Owen did not play in the NBA at first, but played for the Nets, an ABA team. Later, with the merger of ABA by the NBA, Owen entered the NBA league. How did Owen get to the 76 ers? It was because of the financial crisis in the Nets that Owen was sold to the 76ers for $3 million, which also allowed the 76ers to form a championship combination of Owen and Moses Malone.
The Warriors traded Chamberlain
When the basketball emperor Chamberlain entered the NBA, he played for the Warriors, and from the beginning of his rookie season, he completed the rule of the league and became the most dominant superstar in that year, playing all kinds of data against the sky. However, because the Warriors lost 4-1 to the Celtics in the 1964 finals, the Warriors' top management lost patience with Chamberlain's ability to lead the team.
76ers traded in two companies
In p>1992, Buckley had a conflict with the management of 76ers and voluntarily applied to leave the team. At that time, the management of 76ers was also willing to trade Buckley and replace it with some new people to start rebuilding. Finally, the 76ers reached a deal with the Suns, sent Buckley to Phoenix, and got three players, Andrew Lang, Tim Perry and Jeff Hornacek, who themselves could get Hornacek. Utah double evil spirit? Sent the best court partner.
pioneers and brave people sent Moses Malone away
In the 75-76 season, the NBA merged with rival ABA, but this time, not all teams were merged into the NBA, and several teams were eventually dismissed. At that time, the ABA team where Malone played was one of them. At that time, the NBA stipulated that the players of the dismissed teams were allowed to participate in the NBA draft, and the teams could get these players through the draft. So the Trailblazers selected Malone, who was an ABA all-star player at that time, with the No.5 sign, but Malone was sent to the Fabbro Braves (predecessor of the Clippers) by the Trailblazers before he put on the blazers uniform, and won the first round draft of the Braves in 78 years. After only playing two games, the Braves traded Malone to the Mosaic team and got two future draft picks. After that, Malone became one of the greatest inside players in NBA history, and those three draft picks.
Nets send Celtic a perfect future
Since the Russian rich boss moved in, Nets and Celtic made an amazing deal. The Nets sent Humphries, Gerald Wallace, Evans, Bogans, Shengellia, the first-round draft picks in 14, 16 and 18 years, and the deal was won by Celtic's Garnett, Pierce and Terry. As a result, after the Green Army came to the Nets, On the contrary, the state declined seriously, which locked up the salary space of the Nets, making the Nets a fishing team. These three draft picks finally gave the Celtics two high-quality players, Tatum and Brown, and quickly completed the reconstruction.
The Cavaliers missed the No.1 pick
In the NBA, the exchange of draft picks often happens. However, if one of them is not good, it is easy to lose everything. In the 79-8 season, in order to quickly complete the reinforcement, the Cavaliers chose to trade their 82-year first-round picks for the Lakers' 8-year first-round picks. This transaction itself is nothing, but when the Lakers are the NBA champions, they will lose everything. Therefore, this first round is dispensable for the Lakers, but who would have thought that the Cavaliers not only failed in reinforcement, but their record was not as good as before. As a result, they ended up at the bottom of the record in the 81-82 season, and they liked to mention the top draft in the lottery. However, in the previous transaction, the Cavaliers may have been too confident in their reinforcement and did not add the first round protection in the transaction. As a result, the top draft in 1982 was given to the Lakers, and the Lakers used him. Cobra? James worthy.
The 76ers traded Chamberlain
It's Zhang Dashuai again. Although Zhang Dashuai can still contribute 21.5 points, 18.6 rebounds and 5.3 assists after being traded to the 76ers by the Warriors, he is not happy with the management of the 76ers. In addition, the team's record has never broken through, and the coach is 32 years old, which makes the 76ers make a decision to trade Chamberlain and finally send Zhang Dashuai to the Lakers. Jerry Chambers, Archie Clark and Imhof were awarded. As for whether this transaction is a loss, there is a best proof, that is, who has heard the names of the remaining players except Chamberlain?
The Pistons got Iverson
In the 28-9 season, the Pistons, eager to get a change, chose to trade Iverson with the Nuggets, hoping to support the depressed market of the Pistons with Iverson's popularity. In this transaction, the Pistons paid McDyess, Billups and Cheksabu to get Iverson, but after getting Iverson, for the Pistons, At that time, Iverson had lost his courage and didn't want to be the team's substitute. The Pistons were bent on cultivating the team's rookie genius stucky, and eventually the two sides broke up. Billups, who joined the Nuggets, helped the Nuggets reach the Western Conference and became the team's brain.
