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

How on earth did you forget the most underrated and debatably 2nd worst trade of the 2010s?: the Serge Ibaka to Orlando trade. That trade set the Magic back like 5 years and they're STILL feeling the ramifications of it. For those unaware: The Magic gave up two future all-stars in Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis (who both were traded for Paul George almost straight up a year later), a decent role player in Ersan Ilyasova (who was traded for Jerami Grant almost straight up as well), and a draft pick that became Tyrese Maxey for 1/2 a season of subpar play from Serge Ibaka, a fine role player in Terrence Ross, and a far from great Markelle Fultz.

If the Thunder were aware of the salary cap spike, they probably keep James Harden.

People forget the extra context of the Harden trade. Not only did Harden want the star money, he also wanted to be a starter, but OKC wanted him to stay as a 6th man. And so, Harden wanted out.

That rondo trade wasn't bad at all Jae Crowder and a first round pick for a high quality for starting PG anybody would do that trade in a heart beat. Sometimes things just don't workout.

The fact that my Nets could’ve had Dame Tatum and Brown on the same roster hurts

It's crazy to think how trades affect things long term in the nba, when in like the NFL the most a trade may affect is 2, maybe 3 years in the future

5:43 - the team that was injured a lot traded away the pick that became a guy that missed 1 game (technically) last year, and still played in total of 83 games.

Knowing the pistons, we would've drafted Troy brown Jr with that pick 💀💀

The Jazz got the Nuggets twice in the 2010s actually. They sent a 2nd round pick and cash for Gobert in 2013 who went on to 3x DPoY (should have been 6), and 3x All NBA while in Utah. The 2nd round pick was out of the league after 3 seasons, I think the cash was like 2 million. Whoever was scouting international bigs for Denver back then deserved a raise. They drafted Jokic, Gobert, and Nurkic in back-to-back drafts with late 1st or 2nd round picks... The Jazz have gone on to turn Gobert into Walker Kessler, and Keyonte George, 2 seasons of Talon Horton Tucker and the Timberwolves 2025 unprotected, 2027 unprotected, and 2029 top 4 protected 1st round picks, plus 1st round swaps in 2026 and 2028. The Gobert to T'wolves trade also is mostly responsible for the Jazz having the Lakers top 4 protected 2027 first as well. When considering 7 years of high level, game winning play, plus all the future assets now, all for a 2nd round pick and a couple mill in cash; that's about as lopsided as it gets.

I'm surprised you didn't do the 2016 draft day trade of Ibaka for Oladipo and Sabonis (Magic and OKC). Ibaka was past his prime and both Sabonis and Oladipo became AS.

If Blake Griffin and Kyrie Irving had been teammates on the Clippers, they would have made a very strong duo. Acquiring Mo Williams and Jamario Moon was the Clippers' worst mistake.

I think you should have included the Pelicans trading down from #4 in 2019. They could have paired Zion with Darius Garland. They needed a point guard. But instead they traded down for picks 8 and 17 and drafted Jaxson Hayes and Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Neither did much in New Orleans, and neither is on team now. I understand that hindsight is 20/20, but even at the time I was pissed they didn't just keep the pick and select Garland.

I would say trading away SGA wasn't worth what the Clippers got out of George and Kawhi

Pretty crazy that Steve Nash was an indirect part of Kevin Durant being moved to the Suns in more ways than one.

I think I speak for all of us when I say this is the content I most enjoy!!!!

I actually think the first trade is really not that bad when you consider they likely can’t afford to trade for CP3 without dumping Baron’s albatross contract. Sure Kyrie would’ve been better for them long run but considering CP3 and Kyrie were pretty damn comparable at the time before Lob City fell apart I don’t really see it working out any better for them. Plus they got a good haul off trading CP3 away eventually anyways

An additional layer to that Kings-Sixers trade: the Celtics would use that pick on Romeo Langford who never developed for them BUT he was then used in the trade that got the Celtics Derrick White. Meaning, the Sixers gave the Celtics two architects to their playoff ineptitude 😂

I still wonder what wouldve happened iif we kept Spida. Obviiously dozens of things would change, but it's just an interesting thing to think about as a Nuuggets fan. Another one is 'What if the Nuggets won the 2003 draft lottery and selected LeBron James?'

As a lifelong Cavs fan, I love that Clippers trade. I don’t think the clippers should change it even if they could lol

Funny how two of the trades on here (Clippers/Cavs and Thunder/Rockets) happened because of cheapskate owners. A big reason for the salary dump of Davis for the Clippers was Donald Sterling trying to pay his team as little as possible.

It’s funny how things work out, yes the nuggets trading Donovan Mitchell was an objectively bad trade but it all worked out and now they’re set up to win multiple championships. If they had Mitchell in addition to Murray I don’t think it would’ve worked out, Mitchell would’ve forced his way out eventually and the nuggets wouldn’t have gotten MPJ, Aaron Gordon, etc.

All time fumble by Presti. They knew what Harden was worth and just didn't wanna pay him

Even though our former GM was awful and ruined dames prime.... that being said, THANKS BROOKLYN

The Lakers have made some dumb trades

Ibaka for Ross and a first?

Charlotte trading SGA to clips??????????

Note: The clippers did not trade away Kyrie Irving to dump Baron Davis. You can't trade away player you never had. C'mon man, not that hard to find that information.

Great video! 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. God bless! Jesus is the way and saves! Psalms 62✝🤍💪

The PG to clippers trade is going to look worse than the nets trade soon. Might be worse already

the mitchell trade was ABSOLUTELY GREAT for denver, denver already had a superstar guard in murray, they needed guard defense, so mitchel was extremely redundant for them, not keeping is what led to them gettting kcp who is the absolute perfect fit in that line up, having the mitchel trade here is stupid
