Best Trades

What are some of the best trades made in NBA History?

All-time? would be Abdul-Jabbar to the Lakers in 1975 for Junior Bridgeman, Dave Meyers, Elmore Smith, and Brian Winters.

Recently? Indiana shipping Dale Davis to Portland for Jermaine O'Neal

Nowitzki was aquired on draft day for almost nothing if a recall correctly. I also believe Pippen was dealt on draft day by the Sonics?? Bulls reaped the benefits.

Not a trade but in 1977 the New Orleans Jazz had to compensate the Lakers for signing free-agent Gail Goodrich. They gave up three draft picks and after finishing last in 1978-79 that meant the Lakers had the first draft pick in the 1979 NBA draft. They picked Earvin "Magic" Johnson. They used the other two picks to acquire Michael Cooper and Norm Nixon.
