WHAT HAPPENED To The BIGGEST NBA Trades Of The 2010s? 

Can’t believe you forgot when the Magic traded Luke Ridnour to the Grizzlies for Janis Timma. It was arguably the most important trade in NBA history

OKC trade timeline 2008- with the 24th pick the OKC Thunder select Serge Ibaka 2016- Serge Ibaka is traded for Victor Oladipo and Damontis Sabonis 2017- Oladipo and Sabonis are traded to Indiana for Paul George 2019- PG is traded for Shai Gilgeous-Alaxander, Danilo Gallinari and five first round picks and two pick swaps that have so far become Tre Mann and Jalen Williams 2020- Gallinari is traded to Atlanta for a second round pick So essentially the 24th pick became SGA, Jalen Williams, Tre Mann, three first round picks, two pick swaps and a second round pick. Not a bad price 😂

I'd like to point out is that Jayson Tatum was not picked with the Brooklyn pick. That was the 1st overall pick (which turned out Markelle Fultz), which the Celtics traded to Philadelphia, who got the 3rd pick in a pick swap with the Sacramento Kings (who received the 5th overall pick - De'Araon Fox). Boston didn't own the 2017 Nets pick per sé, but Boston invoked the pick swap that came in as part of the KG+Pierce deal. Brooklyn got the 27th pick, which Brooklyn used to select Kyle Kuzma, who was traded to the Lakers along with Brook Lopez for Timofey Mozgov (basically a salary dump) and DLo. DLo was later used in the KD sign-and-trade, who was later converted into Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson and multiple 1st round picks. Speaking of the KG+Pierce trade masterpiece from Billy King, this trade is the reason why Brooklyn has Ben Simmons as well. Jarrett Allen, who was used in the James Jarden trade from Houston, was acquired using pieces that can trace their origins in the KG+Pierce trade. And this trade is indirectly linked to other trades - including the Russell Westbrook trade to the Lakers (via Kyle Kuzma) and the return of DLo in purple and gold. Speaking of Mikal Bridges - the pick he was selected was originally the Lakers' own, used in the trade for Steve Nash, later traded to Philadelphia who traded him on draft night after selecting him back to Phoenix and ended up in Brooklyn. Which means that the Nash experiment in LA is another indirectly linked to the KG+Pierce trade. Basically the KG+Pierce trade shaped up the future of many NBA franchises

Kyle Lowry to Toronto for the 12th pick in the 2013 draft is an oft forgotten trade that had a butterfly effect on the league as a whole. Houston later traded that pick in the Harden deal, and OKC used it to draft Steven Adams. Nobody could've predicted 26 year old Lowry would emerge into the GOAT Raptor, nor could anyone have foreseen the growth of James Harden. That Lowry trade is so underrated and I see nothing but a win-win scenario for everyone involved in the chain of events that transpired during that wild offseason. That's the same offseason the Warriors got Iggy. It's also the year Milwaukee stole Giannis in the draft. In addition, it's the same offseason that Brooklyn made the Pierce and KG move. The more you really think about it, the 2013 offseason seems like one of the most eventful in NBA history, and at the time it was a bad draft and a weak free agency class. Hindsight is 20/20 I guess. Thank you to anyone who read my tangent lol.

The Monta Ellis-Andrew Bogut trade should also be mentioned. It allowed Steph Curry to be no 1 on the team and gave Klay the opportunity for more minutes. Bogut as a passing big really helped the development of Draymond, and without the trade these three probably wouldn’t have developed the way they did

Thank you Danny for fleecing Brooklyn allowing the Celts to transition from one era to the next!

Carmelo talked about leaving Denver on "all the smoke". He said he never wanted to leave Denver but they were rather trying to rebuild than to build a contending team around him and that's why he left.

It’s crazy how serge Ibaka basically turned into all of the assets to start OKCs rebuild

I remember when the Dwight trade happened, the next day, my friends and I made the Lakers super team on 2k12 and we playing with them. We were certain this was the team to end all teams lol.

I'm still convinced that the Paul George era in OKC would have gone a lot better if Andre Roberson's knee didn't explode.

That Hornets situation is still such bullshit

The Jrue holiday trade was the first big trade of the 20s

The Melo trade was so crazy for the Knicks. They could have gotten him for no draft capital the next offseason, but they gave up a lot to get the dude. With that added depth and picks they may have been better suited to compete while he was there.

Lovin these videos. Great stuff.

Really good video idea please do more like this

Love this channel . More similar vids to this one 🔥🔥🔥

It really is pretty remarkable how much Kevin Love did change by going to Cleveland. With the Wolves he was a force only to soon become a slimmer, sleeker version of himself who though getting a chip didn’t create the legacy I at least thought he would for himself.

The Paul to the Lakwrs trade should have led to lawsuits, and Stern being removed. Way overstepped, he couldn't possibly be objective when he had all the owners in his ear and he works for them.

Great video as always

2010’s was such a fun time to be an NBA fan. NBA on TNT cast was at their peak, the league was still offensively balanced and hadn’t fully shifted to the 3 point era yet, and man come on GAME OF ZONES need I say more?

The Jermaine O'Neal/Shawn Marion trade in Feb 2009, is what allowed 2010s to unfold the way that it did. Marion Had an expiring contract that Bryan Colangelo wanted, and he gave up a first rounder to get it. O'Neal had an extra year on his deal, which was more valuable when you think about the 2010 Free Agent Class. Colangelo used the money to outbid the Blazers for Hedo Turkoglu that year. Pat Riley, waited one year, returned the draft pick to the Raptors in a S&T for Bosh. Then they S&T for LeBron. and the Big Three Era kicked off the 2010s.

hey man, what website did u use at 4:49 to look at the whole details of the trade? im a stat and information nerd and want to look at stuff like that all the time

1:43 I should mention this little bit that at the time, the Knicks were in a bidding war with the then-New Jersey Nets. The Knicks feared they wouldn't have the chance to get Melo had the Nets trade with the Nuggets and Pistons went through. Doubly so, as the Nets were soon to relocate. So yes, while it's easy to look back and say they should've waited, I understand why the Knicks were hasty to pull the trigger. At least with the draft picks, we can say Murray was the only true "hit" out of all of them. It sucks, but at least the Knicks are on the right track now.

12:00 hey that was the best “process “ team 😂😂 hit the head on the nail

The Knicks definitely fumbled when they traded half of their core for Anthony who was actually going to sign with them anyway.

I havent even watched the vid and im dropping a like - 22 minute tucker vid today is a ginormous w

As a Boston Celtics fan we knew right away we hit the jackpot

As a celtics fan, that trade was the GREATEST trade in NBA history. Thank you DA.

i respect the amount of lillard b-roll lol

Spurs still getting some good assets from that trade rebuilding wise. Demar traded for Thad young, which turned into Malaki Branham. And Jakob traded for a top 3 2024 protected first rounder

awesome video

9:22 one of the worst decisions Kawhi made was leaving the 6 after a ring 🤦🏾‍♂️ we he could’ve been legendary up north

You seem to miss that Jimmy wanted to stay in Philly but they didn't want to pay him

Don't forget Deron Williams to the Nets. Didn't really do much for either team. The Williams era obviously didn't work out for the Nets. For the Jazz, Derrick Favors was a fan favorite, but never developed into a star, nor did the draft picks they got (Enes Kanter, plus a pick they used to trade up and get Trey Burke).

Good vid but why not show highlights of the players on the new teams as your describing them?

The fact the league stepped in saying the Lakers Lakers didn't give up enough Chris Paul but trading Paul for a lesser package still makes no sense. Also, the Lakers were giving up a starter and their 6th man Odom in the deal.

The initial trade for CP3 included Pau Gasol. That trade was way better than the Clippers’ trade.

Thanks PG for leaving and giving us Shai and JDub🔥

10:53 never was a big fan of overachieving Jimmy but gots respect him

7:06 Pierce was cold but he ain’t play no defense😂 KG was a solid two way player but they got old quick

6:45 that highlight was never that cold to me because it look like he lost control of the ball

Jamal Murray was a Knick potential draft pick, well we can add him to the list of (potential) superstars, legends, and hall of famers the Knicks could have gotten if they had kept the pick....yes Carmelo did very well in NY, and there is no guarantee he would have become a Knick or the player he is if they did draft him......but as someone who loves laughing at the Knicks, and has since the 90s, this is just hilarious and so much fun it just proves the theory that trading with the Knicks, and ending up with one of their picks (original or acquired) is the best thing a team can potentially do

Butler did not force a trade from the 76ers. The 76ers at the time did not have a GM, as Colangelo Junior was fired due to his Twitter fiasco. Brett Brown and Elton Brand. At the beginning of the playoffs that season, after having had Ben Simmons at PG all season, Brown made the decision to have Butler bring the ball up and be the primary handler. This upset Simmons greatly and at the end of the season he told Brown/Brand that either Butler does not get re-signed or Simmons wanted a trade. It's laughable now, but at the time Simmons was still considered a star player, and was much younger than Butler. While a bad decision in hindsight, Brown/Brand decided to not offer Butler a contract to placate Simmons. This has been confirmed by both numerous journalists as well as Butler himself, though he was told they chose re-signing Tobias Harris over him, it was really Simmons forcing the 6ers hand. They could have re-signed both.

i can’t believe people still make the same mistake but the “hornets” are the pelicans not the bobcats at the time

22:23 I think you meant 2022 title..

crazy how nobody talks about that iguadola thing the warriots just steal a player from everybody they beat like they got a super power

You forgot two trades: Chris Paul to the OKC/Westbrook to Houston; Chris Paul to the Clippers.

Carmello was a great offensive player, thats about it. Never learned to lead, be a good defender or facilitate well enough to be a champ..

The nets-celtics trade was bad. But the Rudy Gobert trade was BAD.

The CP3 veto doesn’t make sense because the trade to the clippers that actually happened, on paper, is worse than the lakers trade package.

You called the Brooklyn trade for the Celtics old players the worst taste in league history. The Paul George trade to the Clippers has the potential to be worse

Still waiting on the Blake griffin pistons 30for30😂

Iguodala was making moves goddamn !!😂😂😂😂 he was in grizzlies and went back again to warriors to get more chips lmaoo this dude man 😂😂

Iggy was a legit star on that nuggets team, he just wasn't a dominant scorer.

Hot take but I don't think the Raptors are complaining about Kahwi at all.

I thought Eric Gordon was in the Paul trade?

Wow a 22 min vid?!

The Carmelo trade had to be in top 3 most stupid trade decisions ever on NY’s part. Melo literally already said multiple times he planned on signing with the Knicks when his contract as up and they destroyed their bench and their future to bring him to their team a couple months sooner for absolutely no reason. I actually think it’s because of that trade, that teams will refuse to offer what the Bucks think they’ll get for Giannis now that he wants out. A team would be braindead to trade for him instead of waiting.

The Kyrie to Boston trade was not fair then, and it certainly doesn’t look any better now. Cannot convince me CLE didn’t get fleeced

Kyrie loves Dallas more than Boston 😂

8:18 the Nets is the worst rebuild but they bet on hall of fame players and lost at the least and got fleeced by the vets they signed

so iggy was the first snake HAHAHAHAHA

There’s actually no shot the dude doesn’t once mention the James Harden trade. Never gonna escape the rocket hater allegations

SO many of these big trades have led to 0 rings

The Knicks didn't wait to sign Melo in free agency at Melo's request because he will make more money if he was traded than if he signed a new deal 😂😂😂

You see how this Mordaforker broke down Kawhi's trade but not the others. He called Kawhi troublesome and lucky but never said the same of 2016, 2020 and so on. What did Kawhi do to you man.

I would never forgive David Stern for what he did to my Lakers. That move was unprecedented and political. The trade package that the Lakers, hornets and rockets agreed to was much better than Chris Paul to the clippers.

I thought Boogie Cousins would be on this list.

2 time MVP and final mvp put some respect on his name!!!

My man, good video overall but you said donovan mitchell hasn’t done anything but put up empty stats on the cavs? he’s been there one year bro and had arguably his best season overall, and they lost in the playoffs to not much fault of his own. That kind of just came off really weird

So Celtics basically traded pierce and kg for Tatum and brown

Also the Warriors didn't win the 21' title. They won the 22' title

Thanks Melo thanks Dolan thanks delusional knick fans. That trade turned out to be a major success

The Nets are just an impatient organization, how do you make the same mistake twice in a decade? 9 out of the 10 Teams that have won a title in the last decade drafted one of their stars. Now they will have to wait 4 more years until they can truly build for their future.

So in hindsight the NBA accepted the CP3 trade then declined? 😂

The worst trade gotta b the bill Russell trade

The Nets-Celtics trade is the worst trade in NBA history. But just wait until Utah collects on all those picks Minnesota gave them for Rudy. Lol

Butler bouncing around like that shows a pattern of behavior for a C list player 😂😂😂😂

Igoudala forces to be in the warriors the following season? You're putting dirt on Iggy's name.. He was a free agent that off season, he has all the right to chose his next team.

Just a friendly reminder that Presti is the best GM in the league

Melo should have went to Portland after the nuggets

The sixers best chance at a title was easily 2021

9:50 Wiggins wasn’t a real all star he got in because they were winning which is lame like flopping in the NBA 😂

I still think Boston did IT dirty

You think Billy King was bad for the Nets? He was equally bad with the 76ers.

Those lebron Cleveland teams were getting so desperate it was disgusting. Cleveland wade and Isiah Thomas 😂

also the pick used to draft Jokic was the Knicks until the Melo trade

Trade 😢😢😢

😂😂😂 nuggets still won a ring before Knicks this century

It blows my mind that theres still ppl who dont understand the CP3 to Lakers non-trade. Its probably because most youtubers dont understand it so they spout shit. This was not a situation of a trade being rejected in a way like never before. The proposal that was made that both teams would have to agree on BEFORE submitting it to the NBA, is what was rejected. Stern and 29 owners who where subsidizing the continued existance of the NOP, voted on if the trade was acceptable and then if it passed the interim GM, i forget his name, would have submitted it to the NBA. But only 2 owners (Cuban and.... portlands) voted in favor of it, the other 27 teams voted against it and Stern as rep. for the NOP also rejected it, not that it would have mattered. Please people, for the of god, get thos shit right. Im so tired of people crying about it, all because thsy dont understand it.

If the CP3 trade was not vetoed, kobe would still be alive today

Unfair lebron wade bosh kd curry klay

Voting for you “own” is proof of bias!

The 2010s basically messed up the league, and was the first step towards this new way players get to play where they want. Sure, by trading players you manage to get assets in return, but how many times have these trades ended up being “win-win” scenarios for both teams? Not a lot.

Butler wanted to stay in Philly but, Philly chose to resign Tobias Harris instead lol. 😂😂😂

Lol stop it nobody with a brain thought that 2012 lakers was a super team 🤣🤣 washed Steve mash, Dwight injured, Kobe was just carrying bums that year

You are missing the obvious... Giannis to Denver, because Denver IS serious about winning titles and Giannis + Joker = wins

God bless! Jesus Christ is King and saves and is the way! Psalms 62 - "Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken." Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

20 TEENS IS A MUCH BETTER NAME THAN 2010’s wtf
