The NBA’s History of Championship Trades ๐
throughout the course of NBA history there have only been a handful of times where a team made a major trade and then won the title that same season this year’s Celtics did it and I think the other examples might surprise you the most recent examples were ad to the Lakers in 2020 and of course was probably the ultimate example the Raptors trading for Kawai in 2019 but if you remember what was so tough about that trade it was that they traded away a fan favorite kind of like how the Celtics traded Marcus Smart best comp for what the Celtics did last off season is really the 2008 Celtics when they made multiple trades for Ray all and kg believe it or not the Celtics have actually done this another time when they traded for Robert Parish and Kevin mccale the off season before winning the 1981 title the first ever example of a team doing this was probably the 1970 Milwaukee Bucks when they traded for Oscar Roberts and then yeah there have been a few others over the years but the Rasheed Wallace one’s the most interesting cuz that was a deadline move and let me tell you those almost never pay off

KCP to the nuggets (though he isnโt a star, just a phenomenal defender), Jrue to the Bucks come more recently than AD
moses malone trade to philly is the greatest ever. 1983 philly can run with any team, past and present
Jrue to the Bucks in 2020?
GSW 2017?
Jrue was twice. Bucks won immediately after Jrue, Celtics won immediately after Jrue
Even KD
โค
That 2021 spurs championship team with a 43 year old Nazr Mohammad averaging 20+ minutes was CRACKED
KD for the Warriors?
Why u squintin bro. Fix ur lighting
KD to the warriors?
Didnโt know the Spurs won in 2021 I mustโve missed that year
Jrue to the bucks???
Tingus Pingus!!!
Pj Tucker to bucks
Okay, the 1980 Celtics were great butโฆ Joe Barry Carroll is crazy underappreciated.
Yeah I remember when the Spurs won the 2021 title
woah! i would have never guessed that if u somehow trade bags of chips for an all-star calliber player MULTIPLE TIMES ur gonna win more!
I hate you
Would Rodman to '96 Bulls qualify? To me it does
Plus it hits both things, winning a 'ship
& they had to trade away HUGE FAN FAV TO DO IT

Nazr Mohammed was on the 05 spurs
Bucks traded Eric Bledsoe for Jrue Holiday lead to the Bucks getting a championship in 2021
Nazr Mohammed didnโt play for spurs in 2021. More like 2003-2005 or somethibg
Rasheed Wallace to pistons in 04
