Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Landon Buford of Sports Illustrated ranked this trade as one of the most lopsided trades in NBA history,[5] while Dave Zirin of The Nation ranked it the most lopsided trade in NBA history.[6] Nowitzki "would go on to have a distinguished 21-year career where he was an All-Star 14 times, a member of the All-NBA team 12 times, a league and Finals MVP, and an NBA champion in 2011",[7] while Traylor struggled in the NBA.[6][8]
