As a raptors fan.The kawhi trade is the best trade oat

Nets set themselves back only to set themselves back again 10 years later

The Kyrie-Thomas trade is so weird because on paper the cavs lost it, easily. But when you look at what actually happened the cavs went further next season, acquired better role players by trading the ones they got from the Celtics, and drafted Sexton with the pick, who was the centerpiece of the Donovan Mitchell trade. If Mitchell stay in Cleveland the cavs played their cards very well.

For the record Kawhi forced his way out because Uncle Dennis convinced him he should be in LA. The injury disagreement was an excuse.

God, that Luka trade is so crazy in retrospect. I honestly chalk it up to Luka being European though. But with them dominating the league more, that sentiment has changed. Even though Euro’s were being drafted with top picks 15-20 years ago, it’s just different now.

Tbh, the Kawhi trade wasn't that crazy. He told the Spurs he was leaving after his contract, and Toronto also knew that he was only going to stay there 1 year. So everyone already knew what was happening

Kyries first take interview was the most bizarre attempt at damage control I've ever seen.

The Celtics make moves that the fans can't understand sometimes. But Danny has proven he is an elite GM on top of an elite, underrated player in his day!

As a die hard raptors fan that lives in San Antonio, you know my favorite trade. Now spurs have the most exciting prospect in decades and the raptors finally got a championship.

Danny Ainge is one of a kind when its come to having vision on talent the way he drafted Jaylen and Jayson without them being the clear the choice and trading down because they were still able to draft is phenomenal

MAN somebody needs to do a retrospective on that Late 2000s New Jersey Nets team. Those guys were HORRIBLE around that time. Like their starters were players like Josh Boone and Chris Douglas-Roberts 😭😭.

The one thing you do have to note with regards to the Jimmy trade was that the timberwolves turned Robert Covington into Malik Beasley and Jared Vanderbilt and Juancho Hernangomez which got the wolves Pat Bev, and in turn all those 3 players (Beasley, Vanderbilt, Beverley) into Rudy Gobert and has turned Minnesota into the best defensive team this year, I'm sure they're just fine with that.

Luka for Trae. Dallas winning so far

You have some crazy dedication man, keep it up!

That Celtics/Nets trade gave Boston Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and helped facilitate Boston trading for Kyrie.

We need a part 2. Thanks for the video man, good as always

OKC really set themselves up for the future through the 2010s. They are the youngest team currently almost made the conference finals and Shai was a mvp candidate. They’re stacked with future picks as well. Props to there organization

Damn Stackhouse! That’s dope 👏🏽

Great video as always! Thank you for your work! Still enjoying your videos a lot :)))

Love your channel awesome content thank you!

Keep making this content brother! Your videos are amazing. Could you do a video on the Phoenix Suns and what could of happen if Boris Diaw and Amar'e did get ejected in that historic playoff run, or just about Steve Nash's run with the Suns in the 00s.

Nice video, however as a cavs fan I feel like you should’ve mentioned Collin sexton was eventually traded for Mitchell. Seeing how that was the only saving grace for me as a fan seeing Kyrie leave lol.

Good stuff!! You didn’t leave any details out. Well done! 🙏🏼

Love from Europe. Great content, liked and subscribed

Ky is so unbother. Love it

Philly was not gonna win that game if it went into overtime. I like Jimmy, but he can disappear in big moments too. Embiid and simmons have already proved that before he got there. Plus, the Thunder lost that series 4-1. I wouldn't say that was a good fight lol. They should have kept them together for sure.

With the Kyrie-IT trade, I don't think that was a bad trade for either side. IT was injured and would barely be able to play the next year, so Boston lucked out on that. Kyrie was refusing to come to practice for the Cavs, so Cleveland lucked out. Both teams ended up winning by unloading a player that would have been a net zero for them next season. The biggest loss to Boston was that Brooklyn pick, but honestly if we had drafted with that pick we probably would not have had the cap space to land KP and Jrue this past offseason, so ultimately it sort of worked out. No one could have foreseen the Kyrie weirdness that followed, nor predicted that there would be such a bad personality clash between the younger guys and Kyrie/Gordon.

i'm diggin the way you cover hoops dude!

the jae crowder pic gets me everytime

No what makes it worse about the pippen trade is when mj said he’ll leave if they trade for tmac. But mj ended up leaving anyways 😂

Looking back, Kyrie on the Celtics was such a fever dream

Where do you get your nba clips from? Great content man

2018 draft deserves a closer look due to the fashion choices of the picks.

As a lifelong mavs fan, mentioning rondo at the end just ruined my day

Spurs still have picks pending from trading Poeltl and DeRozan. #8 pick this year and Chicago’s #1 pick next year. And Keldon Johnson (18 ppg) over the last 3 yrs.

As a rocket fan, I was so fucking pissed that the Timberwolves traded him to the 76ers, when I found out the Rockets offered like for first round picks 😂

Butler....one of the many guys these days who become such a cancer to the locker room they have to be traded. I personally can't stand any of them.

Just subbed

that Kawhi trade to the raptors was great and immediately won the chip then left right after 😂

You might want to add the PG trade to the Clippers for picks and a player known as SGA to the Thunder setting up the next dynasty.

cavs got donovan mitchell due to the kyrie trade. they traded sexton who was the 1st round pick they got from the celtics for mitchell

One thing you missed that made it even worse for the T-wolves in the butler trade was the denied a trade from Houston that was 4 first round draft picks

As a Magic fan I hated trading Oladipo for Ibaka which was clearly on the demise.

To this day I am really sad that the king's got rid of isaiah thomas. Dude what's the definition of entertainment on the court electric.

The Luka Trae trade was seen as a win win for the first few seasons, definitely not anymore

When I need a lil NBA fix, you'll find me here.

Thx for reminding me that my team traded zach lavine, lauri markkanen, and kris dunn for jarrett culver, and malik beasley after everything settled

6:43😂😂

How do you only have 25.2k subs?! Your vids are so good😂

My suggestion for the all star game, make it east vs west again and the winning conference gets the 4 home games in the finals

Kawhi's corner 3 was one of the worst clutch shots I've ever seen. It was so lucky and honestly, that raptors team probably gets to the finals and wins without him if they keep DeRozan because the raptors did not beat the Golden State warriors really, the Golden State warriors was hurt so they was mainly playing against their bench that was one of the worst finals I've ever watched

Nah that lakers gasol trade was fucking shameful. The grizzlies literally gave Pau to the lakers

2:35 Ainge did this later, twice in one offseason w Gobert & Mitchell

I always wondered if the raptors would of won that year without the trade with LeBron gone. They probably would of. Warriors all got injured. N they always were one step away, just had LeBron to deal with.

16:45 loool

Jimmy butler sitting out the all star game was actually really selfish, if youre not going to play give the spot to someone who will entertain the fans who pay to see you. Weird revisionist history to call him "so dedicated to his team"

Khawi was never hurt even players that are cool with him and talked to him said he just wanted out

Do a sequel

I doubt things happen the way wyc says “oh yeah I told Ainge 3 times to go back and ask for another 1st and it worked every time” I call BS

Lol Kyrie wanted out if Cleveland after he led them to nothing before LeBron came back.

Chris Paul sunk the Warriors.

Poor Justin Patton lol

Eating lunch type of video

Good miniature, Luka in 2010, 10 years. Good trade.

IMO I think one of the reason why Luka didn't go number 1 is that because teams fear the he might just be another Ricky Rubio. Ricky has been solid his entire NBA career but he didn't turn out to be that generational talent and they (NBA GM's) feared the same thing with Luka

Brooklyn Nets will forever by haunted by that 2013 trade, they might string a good season but it will all crumble very next season, they should never moved from NJ in New york they will never be a the main team.

15:56 ah yes the travel the refs didn't call...

Celtics are ruthless in trades, you will never outsmart them, there are teams in Nba that always pull power move and other seem like feeders

AD looks like a mature grown man now but his body still breaks down like he is that nerd looking dude on draft night for real

Butler trade was a failure by both teams. Philly didn’t win anything with him, and he didn’t stay he was bitching about Ben and his teammates there too. MN didn’t/couldn’t trade him for his value because everyone knows he doesn’t want to be there or will play. They both watch others teams win the championship and watch butler leave. At lease the wovles got something for him.

You forgot how melo ruined the Knicks and our cap space for a decade

Twolves butler deal was not a big L. Traded covington for pick that got us rubio back and Mcdaniels

The Luka and Trae trade isn’t a bad trade the hawks used the picks to build a good young core and got their franchise player who has already led them deep into the playoffs is Luka better? Yes but the picks and trae make it a win win for both

Might be biased but twolves D- 76ers B+ twolves got something for someone who was gonna walk and downgrade for 76ers cause signed Tobias and let him walk

As a Kings fan. Please do more research. Vlade wasn’t the GM for those first two picks you said he made. Secondly the Kings didn’t draft Luka because they feared his fit with Fox and wanted a new big to replace Boogie.

The IT Kyrie trade was terrible not bc of the value in the trade, but that Cleveland just folded when Kyrie got in his feelings and gave up a real chance to compete w/ GS. A better alternative imo woulda always been for Kyrie to stay on the Cavs and dare him to sit out or pout. Then after that season w/ his deal expiring id have revisited the trade possibilities.

Can’t believe the thunder drafted 3 future mvps in 3 straight years…

The front office of the Celtics finesse the f out of the Brooklyn owner

I’m a Celtics fan, and arguing that they got Derrick White as part of the Nets trade because Romeo Langford was in it is a baaad take.

Brooklyn Nets 3️⃣ times tried doing a Super Team and as always FAILED MISERABLY 😅😅😅😅

thank Cavs owner and mark cuban crying for the cp3 trade being declined, they both personally whined to stern that it'd be unfair for smaller market teams if they paired up which is the LA clippers really much smaller of a market if they in the same damn city? It was honestly the most uncompetitive shit I ever heard like bro you had born and the other had dirk tf?

So, for the first time ever, I’m signing up for something based on a RU-vid ad by a creator. You got me to give Basketball Poetry a sub… … or I would, if the site was responding. You broke Basketball Poetry, mate. 😂

Let’s not just say he “refused to play others” they literally didn’t let him play because he wasn’t vaccinated. Great video; but I really appreciate the facts over just the almost “clickbait” lines to be funny.

Raptors spurs win win kawhi was leaving San Antonio regardless and the spurs got derozan instead of nothin 🤷🏾‍♂️

2018 draft, the Warriors wasted their pick on Jacob Evans.

The Paul pierce and Kevin Garnett is not the worst trade because the Celtics got Jaylen brown and Jayson tatum

What about the clippers trading a pick that became kyrie Irving for mo williams

In fairness Irving didn't "choose" not to play some games

How did you not do the Dwight Howard trade?

I would say the Spurs won that trade... If the trade had not happened, Leonard would have walked away (or wheeled away). Had that happen, The Spurs wouldn't have gotten anything in return... It was a win-win situation where both teams got something out of it... Ultimately Leonard left Toronto high and dry as well after his contract was over... One & Done!

after the trades the celtics made this year panning out the way they did, i think it’s safe to say the celtics are the most successful team in trades for the last decade

Bruh looks like Micah Parsons

What about SHAI

If Jimmy Butler had stayed…

Can you do the worst trades of the 2000s?

the kawhi derozan trade was not bad at all it was actually a good trade. the spurs just didnt have tony parker, manu or tim duncan anymore, they lost their big three they won all the chips with. obviously they werent gonna be good anymore that doesnt mean it was a bad trade, toronto just made more out of it

Dang I thought the suns drafted mikal. That’s so dumb the 76ers traded down for Zhaire Smith 😂; mikal was perfect for the team.

As a warriors fan raptor fan shutup

2011/12 George Hill for Kawhi was bad for Indiana Pacers 2018/19 DeMar DeRozen for Kawhi was a bad trade for Spurs
