Victor Oladipo was later traded for Paul George and Tobias Harris was later traded for Blake Griffin, yet the Magic didn't get value anywhere near that for trading either of them.
I disagree. It's not like PKC went heavily downhill. They had some really good seasons w/o Harden and really choked in the Tourneys. I wouldnt call it a mistake more of what would have put them over the hump IF AND ONLY IF they were able to share the ball among the three without loss in productivity
Alex Goodlad my god, signing old out of prime all stars, running the outdated triangle with Phil at the helm, and drafting frank as a result. Holy shit
@@andrewortiz6430 and I'm not a fan of DSJ at the point either. The team has no willing passers except Payton, whose an offensive liability and Randle i guess
SuperSaiyan 3Hunna y’all do make a great point about that, but I made that statement even in spite of that point. Not signing shaq was terrible. Most of the time I even thought it was the worst thing ever for the magic. But the reason why I now think the oladipo and Harris situation was more boneheaded was because they didn’t need to resign them. They weren’t on expiring contracts unlike shaq. Yes it was obvious shaq deserved the highest salary in the nba and the magic played stupid with that. However, oladipo and Harris were still in contracts; they didn’t need to resign them at the time. Instead, they gave them up for Ibaka like he’s some perennial all star and for Terrence Ross, like they were trying to tank but contend for the playoffs at the same time, and when they did tank they got Mo Bamba when they already have a big man in Vucevic. Maybe I’m being a little biased about this, because it stopped me from becoming a magic fan lol
@@Cardiaccat98 nah I also agree with your point. Hindsight is 20/20 and we'll never know if they would have won with Shaq but they need to secure their future with Harris and Oladipo and didn't.
There was also the trade down for Tatum. Also they did an impressive rapid rebuild after the nets trade and made a contender lead by a last pick in the draft. While the Kyrie thing didn’t work out it was still a good idea and the cavs still absolutely lost that trade. He also put together the Celtics big 3 in the first place. And of course the Nets trade
@@21mazter70 I disagree, he had three players that all play the same position (Tatum, Brown, and Haywood). He signed Enes Kantor at center completely changing the defensive make-up of the team and other than Marcus Smart, the impact players he drafted came via the Brooklyn Nets trade.
@@larrybass370 Larry Bass Tbf they didnt expect tatum to be a great player already when they drafted him. Like they expected tatum to be the sub for hayward but when tatum proved he was already a starter that fucked up the whole thing. But i do agree on the latest moves not being great. The Enes kanter signing was imo a reaction to al horford wanting to leave but my point was that he was atleast better than a lot of gm from other teams that are struggling to get going. Like im not denying your statement that he is overrated but i was just pointing out that atleast he managed to keep boston in playoff picture for a while and his stupid decisions are not as bad as other teams and he made decent moves as gm.
lol it definitely did, I had an ad right when it ended so I thought it was just an ad. I wasn’t looking at my phone and wondered why I wasn’t hearing anything and the video was over 😂
I think you missed the most important part of the Harden and OKC story and that is that they not only prioritized Ibaka over Harden but much worse prioritized Kendrick Perkins over Harden as well.
KD might not be the same player as before and Kyrie cant lead a team. This looks good on papar but might end being the same way as when they got Pierce, KG and Terry. Ofc i can be wrong as well but they took a gamble just like my Raps did for Kawhi and it paid off.
The Williams and Joe Johnson trades weren’t bad but man the Celtics trade was just horrid. Really made being a nets fan for the past like decade terrible
Steven Adams has been playing pretty great. I don’t think he’s a 120 million dollar player, but he should have gotten like 4/5 for 80/100 million seems about right. But he also hasn’t starting playing that well until the last two seasons.
Dishonourable mentions: The Knicks trading away their entire team to acquire Carmelo Anthony when they would've got him for less in free agency The Lakers giving up on D'Angelo Russell The Clippers trading away their UNPROTECTED 1st round pick (Kyrie Irving) at the trade deadline to get rid of Baron Davis The failed Jimmy Butler experiment in Minnesota The Magic trading Dwight Howard for scraps and the subsequent failiure of the Lakers in building a "superteam" The Kyrie Irving trade that dented the Cleveland Cavaliers' chances at NBA Championship
I was going to say why did the video end so abruptly. Then I realized that we’ve gotten so used to the “like, share and comment below” practice that we forgot UA-cam is about good videos.
That OKC team this year was surprising. I thought they’d drop off to 12th seed at best. To think they were the 5th seed in the west before the COVID-19 pandemic started is wild.
@@sidneymaster5 what's idiotic is you using fallacy just because he corrected someone's spelling than you proceed to discredit that because of "subscriber count"
How is HARDEN one of the greatest that you've ever seen? He chokes in game 7's, and he doesn't make anyone better. Chris Paul ✅, home court ✅, no DURANT ✅. It doesn't matter, he still can't get it done
James Harden averaged 36.4 a game for his MVP season. Those are Michael Jordan live numbers. He's one of the best playmakers the league has ever seen, has led the league in assists several times, took the Rockets to the Playoffs 8 straight years. If he didnt have to battle the Warriors 4 times, he'd have a few rings by now.
The worst thing about OKC/Harden is that they had the choice to keep everyone, they were just too cheap to pay the luxury tax. I guess all that public money from the taxpayers to subsidize their arena wasn't enough.
I love this type of content especially for casual fans the league ain’t rigged or has an advantage for large market teams your team just sucks. Has terrible management thus creating a bad team. There’s at least one true star in every draft yet your lottery team misses it every time.
Yeah that has to be on the list and I wish David stern didn't veto that trade because if it wasn't for that then CP3 would've easily got his first ring and Kobe would've got an additional 2-3 rings
Anyone that says Steven Adams contract is bad don’t know anything about basketball Steven Adams does all the dirty work and is a beast on the board. He might not light up he box states but he’s a top 5-7 center in the nba right now
I think it should be included or at least be an honorable mention when we are talking about the biggest mistakes of the 2010's.. It is Tom Thibodeau not subbing out D. Rose in the final minute of the 1st round in the playoffs even they already wrapped up that game. That decision just hurts a lot and dismantle the future of the Chicago Bulls at least until now. ☹️
Magic fan here. I love T-Ross and that he’s finally coming into his own... BUT he’s still an older 6th Man who we got for a 2-Way All-Star and a Offensive Beast / Fringe All-Star.
Idk if the Contracf in here but that Chandler Parsons Contract was horrendous plus I remember that year alot Guys who are below being an All star or even average player got Max contracts
Hey at least we didn't get fultz on our nets because that would of been a roadblock were KD and kyrie would head to the knicks instead of the nets thank u celtics look like we won that trade jk 😂
BROO the nets really fumbled the WHOLE bag in what could've been .. ( '11 3rd , '12 6th " lillard " , 2 '13 , '14 , '16 '17 1st overall , '18 1st round picks ) .. without paying all that money .. this mightve been the gsw if they planned better

Its the magic bro. They love to draft top 5 picks then trade them for role players
Yup I’m a magic fan. Our decision making is terrible. I think I would make better decisions if they put me up there!
it's amazing how many ramifications that 2016 WCF had on the rest of the league
Steven Adams contract is never a bad contract. Easily worth it it just doesn’t show up in the basic stats
And also the potential he had.
This year i think he could be a top rebounder.
The bad stats are because of Westbrook
Zach Lee he’s actually doing worse lol
still overpaid for sure

Abdu Ugas That’s why they’re a poverty franchise.

Billy King’s trade was so bad, they literally made a rule to prevent teams from doing something similar in the future.

The oladipo and Harris trade is the most stupid transaction that the magic ever did, even worse than not being able to resign Shaq
Not signing Shaq cost them championships. I don't think it's worse

The best part of the Gerald Wallace to Brooklyn trade is Billy King said the draft was a "3 man" draft. LOL.
Honestly I think Josh Smith at the time should’ve gone to LA, because they were willing to pay for anybody and they would’ve let him play SF.
Welp at least Brooklyn got KD and kyrie tho
Hassan Haulcy and a bunch of great role players. The Nets could possibly be trouble in the Eastern Conference
We'll see whether that was a good move or not. My gut feeling is 'not', but I'm happy to be wrong.

As a Thunder fan FML
Josh Smith at times during his time with the Hawks he always looked like he was about to become a superstar.
