There were some truly nasty trades way back in the day, like owners just selling Hall of Famers because they needed $50,000, or selling / trading picks that became legendary stars for almost nothing in return. Like, STL trading Bill Russell to the Celtics, oops. The OKC Harden trade. The Brooklyn Nets going all-in on ancient KG and Pierce. Dirk Nowitzki for Robert "Tractor" Traylor. Robert Parish and Kevin McHale for Joe Barry Carroll is an atrocity; this might be my vote. Ray Allen for corpse of Gary Payton. The Cavs around the '80s made just a series of unconscionable trades (Stepien). I'm sure there are more.
Suns: Dennis Johnson for Rick Robey. As a Sun, Robey was either injured, out of shape or both.
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

We traded Dragic and a pick for 473 minutes of Aaron Brooks. The pick was Nikola Mirotić, but still, WTF?
