10 NBA Trades That SAVED Players CAREERS 

DeMar was still great in San Antonio, but no one gave him the credit for it.

Pop was using Demar at power forward and it made him better. Just cause his scoring was down, doesn’t mean his time on the Spurs was a wash

As a Spurs fan, whenever I hear someone say that DeMar fell off in San Antonio, I get the sense that they didn't watch much or any Spurs basketball during that time

DeMar credits the Spurs for his development and you think he wasn’t the right fit? 💀

Bro what???? Demar went to SA and became a complete player. Pop played him at ever position 1-4 and put the ball in his hands in the clutch. SA is the reason why Demar is who he is today. Hes a better passer, has more confidence late in games, rebounds better and is all around better and more versatile than he's ever been BECAUSE he was on the spurs for a few years. Also I'm pretty sure he signed with the Bulls and wasn't traded.

Jarrett Allen wasn’t a let down he was a mid first round pick. Glad he’s doing well.

Austin Sweatt is the most Casual Fan out there. It's so evident so many times. With his all time 75 list and the other videos. Demar played a key role in Spurs but he was always underrated. To say that's his worst years is not only harsh but ignorant.

DeRozen was still good with San Antonio, it's just that the Spurs haven't been "The Team" after the big 3 left, so his games didn't get recognition.

Wiggins trade to the warriors revived his career. Became All star starter, saved us in the finals game 5, and played great defense that helped us get a championship

Quite surprised that I didn't hear Andrew Wiggins here after getting traded for d lo, he became an all star on his 2nd full season with the dubs

idk if its just me but Jarrett allen's offense was improving along side kyrie before he got traded to the cavs.

yo Austin, don't listen to the haters, they just people scrolling from vid to vid trying to make everyone's day worse. keep the vids coming!

I miss watching the Ben Wallace Pistons. They were extremely average but played such tight defense they won a championship. I would love to see that pistons team vs the bad boys

The Spurs are the reason why DeMar is playing like this

i got a few more, dlo, ingram, lonzo, josh hart, anyone that was dradyed by the lakers in recebt times and traded

Didnt KD sign with the nets

Till this day, I love ur backround music

Demar wasnt scoring as much but he became a really good floor commander and got better at defense

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander also got a lot better when he was traded to okc

great video!

Bro kd didn’t get traded to the nets lmao he just signed with them

Demar has had an Meteoric rise. He developed a 3pt shot. Bettered his playmaking and overall game in general

Wow. Never knew Wallace was on the Wizards and Magic.

Do the ranking series again

Can anyone tell me what the beat is playing in the background from 0:23 onwards plz?

Demar was literally better in san antonio then in toronto. His scoring went down but his effeciency, shot selection, defense and passing got better

I agree with the harden one. If he was t traded to Houston, he would’ve had a ring, but he would never be an MVP or a future Hall of Famer. The league would be so different if things didn’t go down the way they did.

As a harden fan, I need to say that I‘m thankful for everything Harden did for our team. Sure, he bullied himself out but I still thank him for all the good times. Thank you harden… thank you

No KG? Dude had so many wasted years on the T-Wolves

its so amazing how Demar Derozan went from being a 7th seed and missing the playoffs twice to being one of the best players of the season just because of a trade.

Do trades that broke nba players

austin makes video without saying russell westbrook challenge😂

Idk if Anthony Davis really qualifies considering how the Lakers are doing now, but you could say the trade from the Pels kinda “saved” his career since he won a ring there but also not really

Right away this tells me your a casual for having Demar on this list.. dude evolved as a player with the Spurs and got way better overall

DeMar was signed to the Bulls

austin. i love you brother

That last one aged like milk

Gotta mention Wiggins

Can you use the old music please

Spurs Demar is a much more better and complete player then the choker Raptors Demar

A trade also might’ve literally saved caris levert’s life

Harden definitely will become a starter if he didn't leave in the season he should be leaving or the next as it was his break out year that season and the player infront of him isn't super good either

He wasn't even traded to the bulls lol.Casual fan alert 🚨 Edit:I'm talking about Demar Derozen

Not trueabout Demar.

I was hoping for more examples from the 80s and 90s. It seems like this video thinks only recent trades saved careers. Then throw kevin johnson and ben wallace in there.

Melo to the blazers

So regarding Kevin Durant in your video. Kevin got to shine in the series against the Bucks but Brooklyn barely lost with many players injured and hobbling. Durant is the best but he does not want the challenge of playing on a mediocre team even though his contract is immense spoiled brat in my opinion

Still didn’t do jack during the playoffs.

Lowry has a ring. Enough said.

No Wiggins?

No. KD is still a snake and a poser.

Harden coulda been the manu of his generation, if he only wanted to win a title. OKC stillhad the biggest fumble of the decade. Losing 3 MVPS

Just saying.... 20 pepole cannot be all first XD

Im sorry I usually always agree with u, but cmon, how is zach lavine not in this, he was a bench player at most on the wolves, then getting traded and being an ALL STAR

Where's the no rebound guy??

Jarrett Allen was never a let down bro stop it

U really have to watch more games and do more research if u wants to keep doing this kind of videos..🥶🥶

Oh Lee had to pee on a tree

Spencer Dinwiddie Should be here

So harden as a great bench player Is an awful player???

Bro, can’t go in entire video without hating on Westbrook

when i first started watching basketball and dindt know anything i watched this channel to learn more, but now that i have watched for a while i cant get over how many of his takes and excuse my french are DOG SHIT TAKES

Oldipo was picked 3rd

Demar didnt get trade

What about Cameron Payne mans career was in the trash then the suns saved him

Lil backed and its way too hard to follow who you talking about and so fast, but great video

Well he's not an mvp candidate anymore

Jesus loves you and God bless yall

Chris Paul should be here

Technically, some of these aren’t even real trades

No caris levert it did actually save his life

Demar Derozan isn’t a superstar sorry we talking about the playoffs

Demar was always a top player but he never had a team to fit him but on the bulls he does

Wow

Derozan isn’t an MVP candidate

God loves you and I do too and he sent his son Jesus to die on the cross for our sin.Give your life to Jesus before it’s to late. Jesus he is the way,the truth and the light .If you want to know how reply with how!

You can also add LeBron James. Was drafted 1 overall in the 2003 NBA draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers out of St. Vincent St. Mary’s high school, he was named the 2004 Rookie of the year and ultimately failed to win the highly coveted championship which was the reason why he left for the Miami Heat where he will team up with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh and won 2 championships in 2012 and 2013, and then he decided to return home to Cleveland teaming up with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love and give them a championship which he did in 2016, then Cleveland allowed him to leave for the lights LA and team up with Anthony Davis, Kyle Kuzma, and Lonzo Ball and won a championship with AD in 2020. But I believe that when he left for the Heat changed him and saved his career. Miami ignited something in him, LeBron ultimately activated beast mode, and became a god

Men

did this guy really do his research? Demar is in his one of his most efficient year in SA. Numbers dont tell the real story, I hope you know that demar is a one dimensional player in his raptors day. but evolve his game in SA, adding passing and some defense.

L Takes

Popovich is the type of coach where he either ruins your career or makes it

Demar is horrible now

In Trump we trust 🙏🏻
