Name a bigger dissapointment trade to ANY team in history than RJ

I can't name one

Allen Iverson to Pistons

That brought them from title contenders to a rebuilding team.

Jefferson is going to need more than 10 shots a game to break his scoring funk.

Charles Smith to us?

Sean Ellliott for Bill Curley.

louis scola for a 2nd rounder!?!

Nick Van Exel???

Hell, maybe Holt can trade RJ to the Silver Stars for Becky. At least we'd get some points when it counted from her.

dennis rodman for will perdue

but hell atleast purdue was ok not rodman level but ok

Len Bias to Boston from Seattle maybe?

tractor trailor for dirk nowitzki? every single trade mike dunleavy ever made as GM, especially with the bucks?

Have you ever traded for Kwame Brown? Although it can be argued he was the best post defender for the Lakers in the past five years.

Benoit Benjamin didn't work out well either.

Stromile Swift to Rockets:(

well you did get battier in return so it worked out.

Walker to the Vikings?

how/when did i get pinked?

For the money he's up there. Also in terms of the level of disappointment. Not a lot of guys mentioned so far were making $14 million at the time of the trade, or were considered the missing piece to a championship.

People in Milwaukee probably weren't really disappointed in the Dirk trade until 4-5 years into his career. Also, a lot of people wanted Rodman out of town and didn't expect to get an All-star in return for him. He rubbed a lot of the religious guys (Robinson, Cummings, etc.) the wrong way as well.

This however, is Iverson level in its significance to the team that traded for him. I mean he's blowing up our title chances, and he's stuck here for two years not one. He certainly not the only reason this team's struggling but he's a big one.

there's still time, maybe he'll turn it around yet...

Oden over Durant.

Pau Gasol for nothing.

Robert "Tractor" Traylor to the Bucks for Dirk Nowitzki.

Damn, we think alike! Beat me to it. :lol

disappointment is not the same as lopsided

Marion to the mavs looks like shit so far. But not on the RJ level of shit.

I think about this all the time. The problem is the way Oden played in the national championship game sealed the deal for him going number one.

When the Griz traded for Kwame and gave the Lakers that scrub Gasol....oh wait....

Well, don't look now.... but we're getting dangerously close to that being the effect of this trade on us.

well being that we didnt give up all that much means i wouldn't put it as anywhere near the worst trade....disappointing....definitely could be one of the highest

I recall the pure excitement and buzz that was spurstalk after the spurs acquired jeff and mcdyess over the Summer. I along with most of the people here believe that with a healthy team we could be legit contenders and give the lakers a good run. Well, Dick is a complete failure-he doesn't even look for the ball, stands around, shitty rebounder/shitty defender, totally disinterested and un-energetic. His failure along with a lot of other reasons has led to a pretty mediocre team.

Sad we lost another year of a good TD....hopefully we can trade dicks expiring contract next season for a player that can bring some energy and confidence

Jefferson has been a huge disappointment, but at least the Spurs didn't give up their cap space to pick up some nice players this summer. :toast

Herschel Walker to the Vikings.

Osama Bin Laden to the Taliban really f-ed up Afganistan.

I'll put this one about even with Shaq to Phoenix... complete team destroyer...

Yeah too bad the league changed perimeter hand-checking rules and basically made this a swingman's game. Durant is absolutely perfect for this era, and the Blazers should have seen that coming with guys like LeBron and Melo emerging.

I'll agree with this one. Even when the Suns just gave the car keys to Shaq, and he started putting up 20-10's every night, the Suns still didn't make the playoffs in his final year.

that wasn't a trade plus i don't know what anybody expected from him other than a backup pg that might occasionally score (that was my expectation anyways, and he met it)

Utah Jazz trading Dominique Wilkins for some scrubs

Or Atlanta trading the same Wilkins for Manning

Atlanta could have won the East in 94

I say back in 96 when the Hornets traded Kobe Bryant to the lakers for Vlade Divac.

Most have forgotten how bad this trade was. This is easily above and beyond Pop's greatest blunder.

Yeah, but we didn't give up TP to get RJ. We gave up some junk and will still have a 15 mil expiring contract for next year to recharge if this year craps out. No where near the demise of Detroit. They lost Billups and spent big cash with their piggy on guys who did not deserve the cash. They would have been better off playing low ball 1 year deals and jumping into the fray this summer. They also would still be a playoff team if they had not traded Billups.
