Your team's worst trade(s) ever

[Vern Gagne]

I was drawing a blank until the Herschel Walker trade was mentioned.

 

This market sees trades, but usually it's a veteran player being dumped for prospects, or low salary players.

[Guest JSL]

Sonics:

 

-To Seattle: Vin-freaking- Baker

To Milwaukee: Terrell Brandon, Tyrone Hill

To Cleveland: Shawn Kemp, Sherman Douglas

 

-Scottie Pippen for Olden Polynice

 

-Eric Snow to 76ers for 2nd Round Pick (which we traded away)

 

Mariners:

 

-To Cincinnati: Erik Hanson, Bret Boone

To Seattle: Dan Wilson, Bobby Ayala (the most hated man in Seattle for a while)

 

-To Boston: Jason Varitek, Derek Lowe

To Seattle: Heathcliff Slocumb (our solution to Bobby Ayala's departure)

 

-To Toronto: Jose Cruz Jr.

To Seattle: Mike Timlin, Paul Spoljaric

Warriors - Chris Webber for Tom Gugliata (good player, but he didn't want to be there and it showed)

 

A's - Jose Canseco (who was on deck at the time) for Ruben Sierra

Oh, I don't know how this could be a thread without the one and only Mike Milbury. I'll add a lot of his blunders as time goes on, but here's a tasty little treat for you hockey aficiandoes:

 

New York Islanders traded Todd Bertuzzi, Bryan McCabe and 3rd round selection (Jarkko Ruutu) in 1998 to the Vancouver Canucks for Trevor Linden.

 

Linden hasn't been worth a damn since he left the Canucks the first time...and even then he was a tad overated.

Don't forget about:

 

Isles get: Alexei Yashin

Senators get: Zdeno Chara, Bill Muckalt and the Isles 2001 first rounder (Jason Spezza).

As a sens fans that's my favorite trade of all-time.

Actually you pretty much nailed it on the Kobe deal. He said before the draft he'd only play for the Knicks, Bulls, or Lakers (three bigges t.v. markets). Just another reason to hate the guy.

What a little shit. I hope you get sent to the Bobcats.

I remember that now.

 

What's more pathetic, is that the Charlotte front office gave into the demands of a HIGH SCHOOLER.

 

And this is in the day when people didn't know who these kids were until they declared eligibility...they weren't on ESPN and being talked about on SC their entire senior year.
