On this episode of the Over and Back NBA Podcast, Jason and Rich discuss NBA franchise icons and stalwarts that were traded away.
Over the course of this episode, we’ll look at six different players that were traded and the reasons for the trade, how they created a legacy with the franchise that traded them and finally how the trade worked out for the player and the franchise.
We broke each of our featured players into categories including:
Trading your NBA franchise icons when you probably shouldn’t
Dominique Wilkins moving from the Atlanta Hawks to the Los Angeles Clippers, the unprecedented nature of the trade and whether it was a good move in hindsight or not.
Sending your legend back home
After years of being the Portland Trail Blazers franchise cornerstone, Clyde Drexler is sent to Houston where he wins an NBA Championship.
After a trade request (not a demand)
Jack Sikma‘s run in Seattle came to an unfortunate end as he’s sent to Milwaukee.
Time for a new era/refresh
After helping lead the New Jersey Nets to consecutive NBA Finals berths, Jason Kidd and the Nets decide to part ways.
Trying to upgrade
Peja Stojakovic became a legend in Sacramento as one of the keys to the franchise’s rise to prominence but all good things must come to an end.
Saying goodbye to a cult favorite
One of the players most synonymous with the branding dynamo 1990s Charlotte Hornets was Muggsy Bogues but this trade and the years that followed created a rocky and contentious relationship still felt today.
