Just a little bit of curiosity on my part, and I figured some RealGM historian might be able to clue me in:

Has someone ever been traded mid-season and won the MVP in the same year?

Hmmm....I think Barkley & Kareem both (and prolly 1 or 2 others) have won MVP their 1st year with a new team, but those were off-season deals. I can't think of anybody off hand who was traded mid-season and actually gone on to win the award.
