You don't need to have been there to comment on how terrible the Dale Ellis trade was. Taking a fresh look at it I think it actually is the worst one
We traded a guy who immediately became a 25+ PPG scorer and one of the greatest shooters in NBA history for a guy who was out of the league the year after we traded for him
Not to mention the team we traded him to, the Sonics, knocked us out of the playoffs in the first round the next season with Ellis as their leading scorer to add further insult to injury
And that was a straight up trade. No draft picks involved or anything like that
