Worst trade in history huh?
Worst trade for both teams:
Sleepy Floyd and Joe Barry Carroll for Ralph Sampson. None of them would do anything for either team they were traded for.
Worst trade for one team, regardless of what anyone says was in 1980. Celtics trade their #1 and #13 picks ( #1 would oddly enough be Joe Barry Carroll, 13 was a nobody), for Robert Parish and the #3 pick (Kevin McHale). Boston wins 3 championships after that, not to mention completing the best frontline in NBA history.

Some trades that were not mentioned. Paul Westphal getting traded from Boston to Seattle for Dennis Johnson. Then, Wilt Chamberlain getting traded from Philadelphia to the Lakers for Jerry Chambers, Archie Clark and Darrell Imhof. And one most people forgot, the Lakers trading Don Ford to Cleveland for their #1 draft pick, which would become Magic Johnson. However the O'Neal trade to Miami was highway robbery.

That's a good question the only one that comes to mind is trading Shaq. Maybe trading kobe to LA for vlad diviac. Also Kareem Abdul Jabbar for Elmore SMith. The all-time worst MOVE was not picking Michael Jordan at 1st or 2nd pick

The Limit's answer is the best. The deal which sent Robert Parrish and Kevin McHale (via the draft) to the Celtics was the worst trade ever.

"Sorry I can only answer MLB or NHL (white boy sports, I guess) " quoted by gries girl, or whatever.
Last time I checked the back of baseball jerseys, I saw mostly Gurreros, Rodriguezs, Hernandezs Martinezs, Sanchezs, Ramirezs, Ortizs,
That McGrady trade looked okay to me. I might be looking at it from a Rockets Fan point of view. I love Stevie Francis, but McGrady is a level above Steve Francis. I am going to miss Cuttino though. That was my Boy. I am glad to see Kelvin Cato go.

Currently Trading Kobe for Vlade or Tracy from orlando to houston because they lost a great player and none of those players are even on orlando anymore.

it's the worst trade in a roundabout way
the detroit pistons traded up to get teh 2nd pick in the draft 3 yrs ago and picked darco milicic instead of dwyane wade, the finals mvp. definitely a huge flop
