Houston traded G Michael Dickerson, F/C Othella Harrington, G Brent Price, F/C Antoine Carr, and a future first-round draft pick to Vancouver as part of a three-way deal in which the Rockets received draft rights to G Steve Francis and F Tony Massenburg from Grizzlies, and F Don MacLean and future first-round draft choice from Orlando. The Magic received F Michael Smith, G/F Rodrick Rhodes, G Lee Mayberry, and F Makhtar Ndiaya from Grizzlies.

Houston scrambles to get the Franchise, smart move by some, crazy by others; mainly because Francis would go on to achieve pretty much nothing for the Rockets as a whole, while making himself look good.

 

Nine Players, February 17, 1997

Dallas traded G Sam Cassell, G Jim Jackson, G George McCloud, F Chris Gatling, and C Eric Montross to New Jersey for C Shawn Bradley, G Robert Pack, G Khalid Reeves, and F Ed O’Bannon.

There goes the Dallas-New Jersey trade again. The two must really like doing business together. New Jersey got the better of this deal obviously. Do you remember any of the players Dallas traded for besides Shawn Bradley (who was a tall bust)?

 

Eight Players, January 5, 2003

New York traded F Antonio McDyess, G, Howard Eisley, G Charlie Ward, F/C Maciej Lampe, and the draft rights to G Milos Vujanic to Phoenix for G Stephon Marbury, G Anfernee Hardaway, and C Cezary Trybanski.

New York got the better of this deal, as they got both Marbury and Hardaway in their prime. On second thought, maybe it wasn't such a good deal, what has Marbury done in New York worth remembering?
