Charvo feels insulted because no one has mentioned his Yao Ming for Chris Mihm and Caron Butler trade.
He did, because Horry already got his jersey and everything before Elliot failed the physical. I remember on Inside Stuff during the champ years, they talked to Horry, he said that he framed the Pistons jersey to remember what could have happened.
how about the 2002 #1 overall pick for Lamar Odom and the #8 pick? "With Lamar running the floor and me and Steve on the wings, it's over..."
I think he meant the trade was the best that never happened in Texas because the Texas equation of the trade went on to win their first World Championship that year.
More or less what I meant, Horry got 2 rings with the Roxs and Elliott went on to win with the Spurs.
I heard that the T-Wolves agreed to this one a few years back but the Nets said no. KG for Keith Van Horn, Richard Jefferson, Kenyon Martin
Plus, if we just acquired Odom, a 6-10 F we probably wouldn't have picked up another 6-10 F in Amare...(we would've gone for a TRUE center like Curtis Borchardt--now do u wanna make that trade?? )
Let's not forget the Hakeem for Ron Seikley deals that were being worked out when it looked Hakeem wouldn't play for the Rockets again.
A much talked about trade was my Xavier McDaniel rookie for the Fleer Karl Malone rookie. And the spitwad would never make the trade. So now I'm stuck with an Xavier McDaniel Fleer rookie to this day.
Ralph Sampson to Portland for Drexler and the #2 pick, which we would use to get Jordan after getting Dream with the first pick.
which i don't think was ever actually even discussed among the teams. just great fodder after the fact
You are right. That was a non-trade that shoulda happened on hindsight. It would have saved Portland from making the biggest draft mistake of all time. And we coulda had a superstar trio that would break the championship record of Auerbach's Celtics.
