Nets-Celtics Trade

[gldendog]

This has to be the worst trade in sports history. THE. WORST. Trading 3 straight #1 picks, ALL UNPROTECTED for the 35 year old corpses of Garnett and Pierce. How does Billy King not get any protection put on those picks? Did he not know you could do that? This deal boggles the mind. Just imagine if Boston had gotten in the top 2 this year. Just missed. Fear not, they'll be owning those Nets picks which will assuredly be in the top 3 in the next 2 years instead.

Nets are so f*cked it's scary.

Billy King is a legend. His body of work is staggering.

He essentially traded Derrick Favors, Mason Plumlee and 5 unprotected #1 picks for Deron Williams and the collapsing corpses of Garnett and Pierce.

Holy balls.

Apparently he traded the pick that became D Lillard to get Gerald Wallace. Who he then signed to an awful contract.

It's so bad that it's so good.

Can teams even trade back-to-back first rounders?

Doesn't make sense. Hinkie would be the one hoarding all the picks not trading them away. Choke up on the bat next time to make contact, slugger
