Over and Back: The biggest NBA trades that fell through
The Over and Back NBA Podcast looks at some of the biggest and most important NBA trades in history … that never actually happened.
Perhaps the biggest news of this year’s wild NBA offseason is the Milwaukee Bucks reported deal to acquire Bogdan Bogdanovic and the shocking turn of events that led to the trade eventually falling through. This inspired Jason Mann and Rich Kraetsch of the Over and Back Classic NBA Podcast to look at some of the biggest and most important NBA trades in NBA history … that never happened.
The criteria for inclusion in this episode: the trade needed to be officially reported (not just rumored) and the trade either had to feature a current or recent NBA All-Star or have major NBA championship implications.
The reasons for the trades falling through? That’s where the fun comes in! NBA commissioner vetos, Matt Geiger trade kickers, failed physicals, public outcry and so much more.
Trades covered in this episode:
- Bob McAdoo to Seattle SuperSonics
- Dennis Rodman to Phoenix Suns
- Julius Erving to Los Angeles Clippers
- Scottie Pippen for Shawn Kemp
- James Worthy & Byron Scott to Dallas Mavericks
- Allen Iverson to Detroit Pistons
- Charles Barkley to Los Angeles Lakers
- Hakeem Olajuwon to Miami Heat
