It was on last night and the trade to draft Bill Russell by the Celtics was No.1. There were a few not mentioned that I thought should have been on thier list.
One was Seattle trading the draft right to Tony Dorsett to Dallas. Tony Dorsett had a great career and the players received didn't last long there.
Another one of course was when Boston traded Babe Ruth to New York for cash. They should have got a couple of good players also. But the GM for Boston that the owner trusted stabbed them in the back evidently because soon he became GM for New York. Maybe a little espionage there.
The main one is of course the John Elway traded by Baltimore to Denver. Elway said he wouldn't play on the east coach but Baltimore still drafted him. Elway threantened to play pro baseball and Baltimore traded him to Denver. The trade was ok but Baltimore didn't get enough quality players for him. A big mistake. This should have been in the top five at least.
