King: We Had A T-Mac For Hughes Trade With Toronto

ESPN -
Billy King, who is now an analyst for ESPN, revealed a trade he had agreed upon with the Raptors when he was GM of the Sixers.
The Sixers would have sent Larry Hughes to Toronto for Tracy McGrady and a first round pick.
Stephen A. Smith broke the trade and the Raptors ended up getting cold feet and the deal fell through.
Sixers missed out on T-Mac because of Stephen A. Smith!

Right. It's a talking head's fault.... Because BK was such a master negotiator. . . . What a joke.
Perhaps ESPN gave BK a nice, comfy chair so he can sit back and watch someone like Rod Thorn negotiate. I guarantee you'll never hear Thorn or Stefanski blame members of the media post-facto.
Hey Billy- good job with Iverson, buddy. Was that Screamin' A's fault, too?

LOL... Its Smiths fault King pulled on a deal that wouldve gotten him a future All Star AND a first rounder??
Now whether or not what King says is true is up for everyone's opinion, but if you re-read, King did not say HE pulled out of the trade.
