OT: Trade Checker Fun

This was inspired by Bill Simmon's latest entry (yes, he managed to write something entertaining without being a whiny Boston homer). A reader challenged him to come up with the most lopsided trades allowable under the trade checker. He came up with these:

Trade No. 1: Spurs trade Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili to the Knicks for Quentin Richardson, Malik Rose, Jared Jeffries, Jerome James and Eddy Curry.

Trade No. 2: Blazers trade Greg Oden, LaMarcus Aldridge, Brandon Roy, Martell Webster, Jarrett Jack and the rights to Rudy Fernandez to the Knicks for Quentin Richardson, Jared Jeffries and Jerome James.

Trade No. 3: Lakers trade Kobe Bryant, Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom to Denver for Kenyon Martin, Nene, Steven Hunter and Chucky Atkins.

Trade No. 4: Cleveland trades LeBron James and Zydrunas Ilguaskas to Minnesota for Antoine Walker, Marko Jaric, Mark Madsen and Greg Buckner.



Here are a few I was able to come up with:

1. Phoenix trades Steve Nash, Grant Hill, and Raja Bell to Philadelphia for Samuel Dalembert, Gordan Giricek, and Kevin Ollie

2. Golden State trades Stephen Jackson, Andris Biedrins, and Monta Ellis to Seattle for Earl Watson and Ira Newble.

3. New Orleans trades Chris Paul, David West, and Tyson Chandler to Milwaukee for Bobby Simmons, Dan Gadzuric, Desmond Mason, and Charlie Bell


And the most terrible trade:

Washington trades Gilbert Arenas, Caron Butler, Brendan Haywood, and Andray Blatche to Indiana for Troy Murphy, Mike Dunleavy, Jamaal Tinsley and Jeff Foster.


*This is a fun game. But using the Knicks is just too easy.
