    Teams make stupid trades regularly, some more than others.

    I would probably say the Shaq trade for LAL. I know he had to go, but we really didn't get too much out of him.

    Chauncey Billups for Allen Iverson and cap space that ultimately was used for Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva...

    1982 first round pick (turned out to be #1 overall) to the Lake Show for what turned out to be James Worthy. Cavaliers go 15-67, no first-round pick. L.A. wins the le, gets the top pick in the draft. That's why the Cavaliers are the Cavaliers and the Lake Show is the Lake Show. Among other reasons.

    Pop (idiotically) quit playing Bowen in 08-09 anways, so he was gone, and that trade was essentially equivalent to just signing him. No one really predicted how badly sucked, and it was a reasonable move to make at the time (of course they should have also signed Bowen on top of it). The stupid move was giving him the four year contract after a year of spectacular failure on his part.

    I'm going to go with Brickowski for Pressey as the Spurs worst deal, though the first rounder for Charles Smith was pretty bad too, considering how long he counted against the team's salary cap. I can't think of too many bad trades the Spurs have done. Most of their regrets would have to come from free agency: e.g., losing Strickland, losing Stephen Jackson, signing Rasho, giving big extensions to Malik and , etc.

    Kidd is overrated. It was Chandler and Marion that made the difference. Way better than Dampier and Howard.

    Since the Lakers rarely make bad trades, tell us about some of the more infamous trades the Cleveland Indians have made.

    I mean, WHAT THE ?!?

    In 1977, pitcher Dennis Eckersley threw a no-hitter against the California Angels. The next season, he would be dealt to the Boston Red Sox where he won 20 games in 1978 and another 17 in 1979.

    This is true, but the principle still digs at me. Pop apparently thought it was his defensive schemes, and not Bowen's defensive talent, that made the Spurs tick, so he started going away from Bowen for more offense (like Udoka and an ancient Finley was really going to provide that). That's really when Spurs defense started to fade. Oberto's time was pretty much up at that point, as well. Thomas was old, but he was still a serviceable big, and probably better defensively than anybody the Spurs currently have outside of Duncan.

    Still, just the idea of Pop trading away three players who were, in their time, defensive stalwarts for a guy who has been nothing but a scar on the organization...ugh.

    Ever go to Ten Cent Beer Night?

    The 1970s also featured the infamous Ten Cent Beer Night at Cleveland Municipal Stadium. The ill-conceived promotion at a 1974 game against the Texas Rangers ended in a riot by fans and a forfeit by the Indians.[57]

    Giving away Scola. The RJ deal wasn't that bad, considering all the guys we sent to Milwaukee are retired now.

    Yer fortunate. The Scola Fiasco is never held against Pop. It's a forbidden topic. , even here it's not dwelled upon like it should be.
