Your favorite (or least favorite) NBA trade memories...
 
Saw a recent article asking fans about their favorite NBA trades throughout history and it took me back man...wanted to do the same here and see what we could dig up...

To start-

The George Hill trade for the 15th pick in the 2011 draft is easily my fondest.....got us Kawhi

Least fave no doubt the Vince Carter trade. Raptors management and ownership drives out the guy who singlehandedly popularized basketball in Canada and could've carried the team for years to come. Bosh-VC duo could've done damage (maybe contend with Shaq/Wade Heat and if acquired a 3rd man, compete with Boston's big 3?)

Fave is probably the Bargnani one. Not only did Raptors unload his contract, they got an unprotected 1st pick in it(which turned out to be a lottery pick). The first of many Ujiri robberies.

I despised the Shaq/Kobe duo. When Shaq got moved I was a happy camper. Plus I wanted to see Shaq get one without Kobe because all of the ludicrous Kobe fans who thought Kobe was the better player even while Shaq was completely dominating the playoffs ever year.

It was also fun to watch the Lakers miss the playoffs and finish behind the Clippers with a capable roster. The Grizz were even better than them that year and managed to land the 8th seed.

VC trade that made Toronto that pretty much made them irrelevant and the Deron Williams trade. I thought it was an early April Fool's prank until I seen that thread on here.

Least favorite trade: Trading Kidd to the Mavs, mainly because of how he went about it. I didn't blame him for wanting out but the whole fake migrane deal soured on me for awhile.

The 2007 NBA Draft trades by the Celtics were revolutionary imo.

Sort of started the whole 'Big 3' concept.

My least favorite is the Derrick Rose trade, just because it's so fresh. Also, any trade made during the Isiah Era. Eddy Curry in particular.

My favorite will be the Derrick Rose trade we complete sometime in the next 24 hours to get rid of him.

Trading a 1st rounder + Gary Forbes ("who??") for Lowry and then swapping Rudy Gay for Patterson + Vasquez were some of the most important trades in franchise history (besides grabbing Vince on draft night)

As for least favorite, I can't think of any off the top of my head
