Ya he conveniently played really well for them, even though he had “knee problems” for a couple seasons.

This was a bad trade, but we weren’t a great team with Vince.
Now, Westbrook to the Lakers essentially dismantled a championship team, and fucked them over for years afterwards.

In hindsight absolutely.
However…how would people have viewed the trade if we drafted Granger instead of Graham.
And that other 1st we used to get rid of Jalens contract. Meanwhile guys like Rondo and Lowry were picked soon after.
If we drafted properly, nobody’s caring as much about that deal.

Depends on if we count “in hindsight” or not i.e. the Jazz making a trade that led to the Lakers drafting Magic Johnson 1st overall or the Nets trading what became the Jays and Marcus Smart for the Celtics old names (Also Collin Sexton though he technically got traded for Kyrie)
For trades at the time, the Vince Carter trade was atrocious – and unlike the Siakam trade which has gotten better with time i.e. using the trade exception to bring in Davion Mitchell and minor draft capital, the Carter trade only got worse with later moves by the FO

I think the Siakam one might contend in the future, but as of right now, yes.
Shame we at least couldn’t hit on the pick. I know he got hurt toward the end of his career, but if we had drafted Granger with the pick after, would be a nice pairing with Bosh

IIRC Serge Ibaka has more win shares for the Raptors than everything the team got from the VC trade combined.

The losing side of the best trade in history has to be the worst, doesn’t it?
So the Bucks sending Tractor Traylor and Matt Harpring for Dirk and Steve Nash has to be up there…
