@aRujoN - Yeah well thats why I'm not an NBA GM. Hell I hardly ever trade in my Fantasy leagues
. I don't know what else to say but these things happen.
Allow me to use Google for a minute here...
1969: Wilt Chamberlain for Archie Clark, Darrall Imhoff, and Jerry Chambers.
1975: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for Elmore Smith, Brian Winters, Junior Bridgeman, and Dave Meyers
1979: Gail Goodrich traded to the Jazz for a No.1 pick who turned out to be Magic Johnson
1982: After winning the championship they get the #1 pick through a trade with Cleveland who turned out to be James Worthy
1996: Shaq
1996: Trade Vlade to Charlotte for draft pick who turns out to be Kobe
These things happen for LA for some reason.
