There have been some crazy trades throughout the history of the NBA. Some good, some bad, some just plain confusing. Among the trades that have baffled fans, there is one that stands out. It was devised by the legendary Jon Spoelstra, yes he’s the father of Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra. Spoelstra is known as a marketing genius and in 1983, he used that genius to pull off the craziest trade the NBA has ever seen.

I thought a trade happened today, I thought PG got trade for Cj McCollum or something

[MZtestvideos]

came here from the weirdest game in nba history video. i like your videos. they are actually even better than korzemba's in my opinon. i subscribed now because of the way you organize and present your content, and i can see the hard work being put into editing the right footage/graphics to build the narrative. good work and i look forward to seeing more eerily strange videos about the nba

0:01 it was more like.
Denver: This city sucks
New York: much better.

I like how that list of "mediocre" Blazers seasons includes the year they won the NBA finals. The Blazers sucked because Bill Walton's leg fell off. They were the best team in the NBA in '78, on pace for almost 70 wins before Bill went down.

Shiit, John Spoelstra is my new favorite player

[Followwherethetruthleads]

Its better than Rose's trade with the knicks for some wendy's value meal combo

[littlebossjr.]

[UnplayedGaming]

The trade to get the Celtics all the Nets picks will be on here

[juniortech]

Lmao that guy is one hell of a salesman.

[thedudejeff]

even though clippers let Kyrie go they got cp3 so not a lose for the Clippers or but a win for the cavs

[erapt]

How is this possible to trade yourself with a player if that happened nowadays it would blown everyones mind HOLLY SH*T

[brandonringo]

This is a great story I'd never heard before. Great work!

[joonant]

Well thought I'd never see a trade worse than the cavs giving up nothing for a key role player.

[SlimmBradyy]

Yo you need to be a lot bigger! Your videos are so good and you deserve more exposure.

[ADAJKINGANGEL]

I'm guessing Eric Spo's mom is Asian?

[maxdraven]
