But at the same time, there have been many transactions in history that have backfired the teams involved and lost a lot of money in the transaction. So what are the transactions like this in the past 20 years?

In NBA, there will be several transactions involving the fate of teams on both sides of the transaction in the next few years. Logically speaking, the reason why these teams trade is because they hope to get corresponding reinforcements. But at the same time, there have been many transactions in history that have backfired the teams involved and lost a lot of money in the transaction. So what are the transactions like this in the past 20 years?

5: Rockets Suns trading

averaged 17 points per game in the 2015-2016 season, and as a big man, he could hit 36.6 in three-point shooting percentage, Anderson became the favorite of many teams in the league, and he eventually joined Rockets . However, in the two seasons when he came to the Rockets, Anderson's offensive state suddenly declined, and the defensive end was a technical weakness, which made the Rockets have the idea of ​​trading him.

The Suns also faced the same troubles. At that time, the two No. 8 picks players in the team, Knight and Chris , failed to perform satisfactorily in the 2016-2017 season, especially the former's condition has declined greatly. Therefore, the Suns and Rockets hit it off, hoping to change the team's dilemma through this two-for-one deal. But the deal that many fans are optimistic about is ultimately disappointing. Knight and Chris came to their Rockets and fell out of rotation after a few games, and Anderson's three-point shooting percentage dropped to 20%.

In short, judging from the final result, the players involved in this transaction were not as good as before the transaction, and neither the Suns nor the Rockets were able to make a profit from this transaction. It is worth mentioning that during the offseason this season, Chris, who played for the Mavericks, returned to the Rockets in a deal.

4: Heat Suns Trading

After trading O'Neal , the strength of Heat increased greatly and successfully won the championship of that year in 2006. But O'Neal, who has entered the end of his career, declined very quickly. As the Heat fell rapidly after winning the championship, O'Neal was also placed on the trading shelves. The Suns, who were in the western region at the time and relied on the running and playing in the league with the running and hitting the tactic, quickly set their sights on this deal. They hoped to get O'Neal to strengthen the inside, and the bargaining chips provided were the forward line, which had made great progress on both ends of the offense and defense.

Therefore, the two sides reached a deal between O'Neal and Marion as the main body in the middle of the 2007-2008 season, but in the end, the result of this deal did not meet the expectations of the two teams. Although O'Neal's performance was pretty good after coming to the Suns, his slow speed greatly damaged the Suns' system. Marion's performance after coming to the Heat was getting worse and worse, and did not meet the fans' expectations. Both players only played for two seasons after the trade before changing teams again. Interestingly, Marion later joined the Mavericks and defeated his old club in the 2011 finals.

3: Lakers Wizards trade

In the offseason last season, the Lakers, who were determined to strengthen the defenders, finally set their sights on defenders such as DeRozan and Westbrook. After DeRozan joined the Bulls , the Lakers set Westbrook as their primary goal. Although Westbrook, who played for Wizards at the time, had a lot of ups and downs in his condition, he still achieved a triple-double per game per season. For the Wizards, after barely entering the playoffs, they hope to change their team building ideas during the offseason and put Westbrook on the trading shelves.

In the end, the Lakers made a quick decision and exchanged Westbrook with chips such as Kuzma , Harrell and Pope . Judging from this season, this deal has become a lose-lose deal. For the Lakers, this deal has become a nightmare for many fans. Westbrook's performance this season is simply terrible, and it is even worse than the time when Schroder served as the team's point guard.In the end, the Lakers missed the playoffs, and Westbrook was pushed to the forefront of doubt and even abuse.

The Wizards are also not having a good time. Although their performance in the first half of the season once made many fans happy after this deal, Bill 's injury and the team's internal strife have put them in the bottom again. The chips obtained from this deal Pope and Harrell, as old teammates, actually broke out in an internal strife in a game and fought after the game. Harrell was eventually abandoned by the Wizards. This season, the Wizards have once again become the bottom team in the Eastern Conference.

2: Celtic Cavaliers trade

In the offseason in 2017, Irving 's sudden application for trade blew up a thunder in the league, and many teams in the league were eyeing Irving. The Celtics , which is determined to compete for the championship, has also become one of them. But what many fans did not expect was that their trading chips actually performed against the sky in the previous season, making it to the top three of the MVP list with an average of 28.9 points and 5.9 assists per game, and scored 53 points in a single game in the playoffs, which also proves the cold-blooded and ruthlessness of general manager Anji.

In the end, the Celtics used Thomas Jr., Claude and others as bargaining chips to exchange for Irving from Cavaliers . Judging from the superficial lineup, the Celtics are very strong. In addition to new stars such as Tatum , they also form the main lineup of Hayward , Horford and Irving. But such a lineup did not perform as it should, and Irving is a very important reason. After coming to the Celtics, Irving's cancer attributes were fully revealed, becoming a time bomb in the locker room, and there were quite a crack between him and many teammates. In the season when Irving was injured, the Celtics entered the Eastern Conference Finals, and in the season after Irving returned, the Celtics were obviously no longer competitive. Finally, two seasons later, he left the Celtics amid the abuse of many fans.

And for the Cavaliers, they also failed to benefit from this deal. Thomas Jr. was troubled by injuries after coming to the Cavaliers, and his condition declined greatly. He was traded to the Lakers in the middle of the season. Claude was also cleansed by the team, which means that the players involved in this transaction were unable to accompany , James to enter the finals.

1: Lakers Magic 76ers Nuggets Four-party trading

The offseason in 2012 is destined to be the most violent offseason in the league in the past decade. The Lakers, who have long coveted Howard , personally planned this vigorous four-party transaction. They gave Bynum and got Howard from Magic . The players involved in this four-party transaction include Iguodala and others.

But in the end, this transaction did not meet the fans' expectations at all, and it turned out to be a losing deal. The Lakers formed the F4 lineup after getting Howard, but they finally barely entered the playoffs with the tide of Kobe , and were swept out in the first round. The 76ers was even worse. Bynum completely fell into decline after changing teams, and they entered a period of reconstruction for many years. The Magic and Nuggets also did not make any profit in this deal.
